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\u00ae windows provide expanded views of their back yard woods. Hand-scraped flat ceilings added an elegant touch to this upgraded main floor living space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"image-20240310125211414941-2657-2932-2114-2621\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mbros.com\/assets\/components\/phpthumbof\/cache\/2-293.v1.9f1cf04af2b11c6c763f8eb152f9916e.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Removing the wall and patio door separating the porch from the kitchen and dinning room dramatically increased the flow and openness as well as the usefulness of these connected spaces.
