STRANDPARK

WEST SUBURBAN KITCHEN EXPEANSION

Getting rid of the dated honey oak woodwork was only half the goal in this multi-faceted Vadnais Heights remodel. The homeowners surely wanted to freshen everything, but also wanted to improve the overall use of their small 3-season porch, expanding the footprint by several feet, and transforming it into a 4-season porch with heated floors.

We also added more light and tied everything together with new hickory flooring. The kitchen cabinets were refinished to a custom-shaded light espresso, keeping much of the oak grain visible. New Marvin® windows provide expanded views of their backyard woods. Hand-scraped flat ceilings added an elegant touch to this upgraded main-floor living space.

Aged Harmony engineered flooring, Shenandoah collection. The addition of two new windows brought much-needed light to the space. 
Images above depict the cramped kitchen and adjoining formal living room and the two walls that were knocked out to open up the kitchen.
