North Vancouver 1957 neglected house - Brought to Life!
Supporting wall between the kitchen and dining was removed as was the drop ceiling in the kitchen. It was discovered that it could be vaulted so we just had to restructure the ridge beams above to get one expansive vaulted ceiling across living, dining and kitchen. Both ridge beams now sit on the new post seen, which we made functional with an 18 bottle wine rack ($36). industrial & contemporary fixtures used with a natural looking laminate floor for durability. New french doors were put ($1900 each set) in to replace the old wooden ones and re-positioned to maximize light and space. Frameless glass railings used and Black-trim square LED pot recessed lights in the ceiling.
