Remodeling projects do not always have to involve knocking down a wall or tearing out some antiquated bathroom fixtures.

Often a great looking remodeling project can involve updating a few key items within a home and putting a fresh coat of paint in the right places to give the project a “Brand New” look.

Ms. Peggy – she insisted that we call her by her first name – wanted a fresh new look for her kitchen, living room and bedrooms.  She knew she wanted granite counter tops and new appliances for the kitchen, but she didn’t want to spend all that money and be left with an outdated look for the rest of the house.  We worked with Ms. Peggy on developing several options for updating the kitchen and den area, replacing the old closet doors throughout the house, and painting the interior and exterior.

Here’s where we started…

The first item to trash was the existing ceiling tiles.  In a house this old, you have to make sure that certain materials are tested for asbestos and disposed of properly.  Fortunately these ceiling tiles came back negative for asbestos , so we were able to tear out the old ceiling and install a new drywall ceiling.

This kitchen remodel focused on 2 specific areas

1) NEW GRANITE COUNTER TOPS

2) NEW APPLIANCES

The refrigerator Ms. Peggy purchased was about 6″ wider than the existing one, so we had to modify the wall cabinets.

The existing cabinets are at least 15 years old.  Can you pick out the new cabinet – finished to match the existing cabinets?

Slapping on a fresh coat of paint always helps spruce up any house, but bringing in professional painters to paint the interior and exterior makes the project look brand new.

We also replaced the old and dated closet doors in the bedrooms and hallway.  Although the new closet doors are nothing spectacular or custom, they achieve an updated, modern look for the home without breaking the budget.

This project was great fun and our client, Ms. Peggy, was an absolute joy to be around on a regular basis.
