FIRST FLOOR FAMILY RENOVATION IN MEREDITH
The Success Story
Our goal for the project was to create a beautiful, usable space for this family to enjoy. The homeowners were looking for a more open-concept layout, so the floor plan was reworked to make better use of the space. In order to do this, some structural changes were made, including taking down a load-bearing wall and reinforcing it with a three-ply LVL support beam. All new Mathews Brothers white vinyl windows were installed and the dining room slider door was also replaced. Two mini-splits were installed by Freer and Son HVAC to more efficiently heat and cool the home. This, and the new windows and slider, will also improve energy efficiency.
Modern Farmhouse Kitchen
We often think of the kitchen as one of the main focal points in the home; not only does it need to be functional, but it also serves just as much as an entertainment space. This kitchen has a light and bright feel and a modern farmhouse-style design. On the ceilings, we installed white shiplap and refinished the existing wood beams to accentuate the high, vaulted ceilings. All new cabinetry and granite countertops were added, the appliances were upgraded, and the light fixtures were updated for a refreshed look.
Primary Bathroom
In the primary bathroom, we installed a tiled shower with a glass door, which features a built-in niche, a shave shelf, and a corner shelf. The existing vanity was replaced, and a new built-in shelving unit provides additional storage space. Not only do these changes give the en-suite bathroom a more updated look, but they have also made the bathroom more practical for everyday use.
Hallway Bathroom, Office & Built-Ins
In the hallway half-bathroom, we updated the fixtures by changing out the vanity, installing a new toilet, and continuing the same luxury vinyl plank flooring into the bathroom that was used throughout the first floor. We also created a new laundry room area, as well as an additional sitting area, office, and built-in storage space in the room off of the kitchen. This has given the family a multi-functional space that serves as an entryway, sitting room, and an office area as needed.
