Green Hills Master Bedroom Addition and Kitchen Remodel
The hearth before was constructed from the same brick used on the exterior of the home. The homeowner wanted a new configuration, raising the floor and raising the mantel, and eliminating a brick ledge that stretched to the left. We eliminated the brick ledge, raised the floor and the mantel, matching the new brick to the old as we patched the new hearth. The entire ceiling was vaulted to give the room more openness.
We remodeled this kitchen to bring needed updates and to open up the kitchen into the living space. The living room used to be separated from the kitchen by a wall and lowered by a few steps. We removed the load-bearing wall and replaced it with a beautiful rustic wood beam, and we raised the living room floor to be level with the kitchen. The old wood paneling was replaced with drywall and painted to brighten the space. The fireplace was reconfigured with a new mantel, new brick pieced in to match the existing brick where we moved the mantel, and new built-in cabinetry featuring custom pull-out file drawers, space for the TV, and shelves for books.
