This is more of a "Before, Demo & After". To orient you, the window on the right in the three horizontal images above is the same window in every shot. The door seen in the middle "demo" image used to lead from the stair landing back down into a full bath. We reconfigured that bathroom to be accessed instead from the new door you see in the "after" image at the top. We removed the stud wall that you can see to the left in the "demo" image to create a more open kitchen/dining area which made room for the island with a breakfast bar top and bar seating that you see in the vertical image to the left. New soapstone counters and Shaker-style cabinets in addition to a new color palette help refresh the look. More to come.
