Homeowners in Lowell, MA contacted our team because they wanted to update their kitchen and foyer. Their current layout suited them well, but the fixtures gave their home a dated appearance. By updating their cabinets and flooring, we were able to give their ground floor a brand new look. Here’s what we did.
Laying the ground work
To freshen up this living space, we needed to start from scratch. We began by demoing everything down to the framing. Before we could focus on the details, we needed to make sure that all the electrical and plumbing was up to code. To prevent energy loss and drafts in the winter months, we also brought up the insulation to today’s code. This is something many New England homeowners overlook, but it can save you hundreds on your energy bills.
Opening up the space
Natural lighting is key to making a space look larger. We added a slider for access to the deck and by removing the old door added kitchen cabinet space. We also added and expanded the openings going into the kitchen for a more open feel.
The final touches
Our crew ripped up the old flooring and re-secured the subfloor. We replaced the linoleum with light wood floors that complimented the beautiful new cabinets. Our homeowners selected quartz countertops because they’re affordable, durable, and more environmentally friendly than granite. Speaking of eco-friendly, we also installed new lighting with LED bulbs and pendent lighting over the new peninsula. Last but not least, we added a fresh coat of paint and new stainless steel appliances.
