Here are a few before shots. The main impetus for remodel was to get the refrigerator out of the middle of the view to the back yard and to improve the strange, low-ceilinged laundry room addition at the back.

You’ve seen this project before. Funky old house with a pretty thorough retuning and a small addition at the back. I am very pleased with how it turned out.

and this one gets a new master suite on top and a reworking of the entire house. The south-facing back of the house also gets a lot more window and door to connect to the yard and sunlight.

A key part of the design was adding this door from the kitchen to the back part of the house (and future back deck)
As you can see below, this also gave the bedroom a better connection to the bathroom and more privacy.
These curvy shelves and cherry peninsula were just icing on the cake.
