kids enjoying the roofdeck
This Poets Corner remodel with small addition turned out great. (Thanks in part to the good taste of the owners and the skill of Coleman Building.) Nancy Kalter came with me to the house warming party and took some house in action shots. It was afternoon on a very sunny day.
First here is the before and after first floor plan. (Roof deck remodel upstairs (plan not shown) is big enough for the whole family to sleep out under the stars and also a vegetable garden!)

Here are some fresh photos of the kitchen and dining area in our Brickyard Landing apartment remodel.
Looking through dining area with walnut shelving to the kitchen on north end of the long room
Removing the view-blocking upper cabinets between kitchen and dining area makes a huge difference. Now you can see the bay from the kitchen!
Kitchen including refrigerator with glass door and glass LED ceiling light
LED undercabinet lights recessed into a slot

The photographer is capturing the mix of shiny and matte Heath tiles in the hearth surround that makes a subtle pattern. (Only visible when the light is at the right angle)
