Dining Room
The dining room was one of the first things you see when you enter this home. We tiled the fireplace as a stunning accent to the space. The open feeling makes it perfect for entertaining and overall much more functional than the original closed-off space.

They were thought of as a place for storage and maybe laundry - not a spot to invest much time or money. For that reason they can often feel like an afterthought or a disregarded part of the home, which makes for an unpleasant experience when trying to use it for everyday purposes or even finish it into extra living space. Low headroom and tight staircases…
