Unwilling to accept the limitations of their home, and not wanting to relocate, the owners chose to remodel. We identified goals, created a master plan and then, to accommodate the owner’s wishes, we executed the project in multiple phases. The kitchen has been transformed from the smaller compartment of the 1970s to a larger, flowing area that is the heart of the home. By rearranging existing space we created a much larger kitchen, then fashioned a rear entry and pantry. A makeover of the foyer and powder room, plus redecorating the family room was included. The seldom-used living room has been converted into a library/music room; the dining and study also were updated. To increase energy efficiency, insulation and windows were replaced. Together these changes have totally transformed the character of this home.
