Refresh and Renew: Light Demo Reno
Want a new home in 2025? HOT TIP: Light renovation is easier than full demolition!
It’s completed faster, creates less construction dust and waste, and costs less than a full renovation. Let me show you what I mean.
Here in my client’s San Francisco home, the biggest item we replaced was the kitchen flooring, matched to the existing flooring in the rest of the house to provide a sense of unity.
In the kitchen, we updated the moss green cabinet doors with crisp white and added brighter green ceramic Ann Sacks tiles for the backsplash, and a set of open shelves near the sink.
The oven needed an update from a commercial-looking fixture. Now it’s a sweet, modern cook-station with personality that harmonizes with the rest of the kitchen.
The corner drinks station was wasting valuable space at the end of the kitchen. The L-shaped cabinets were blocking light from entering the room, so we removed and replaced them with the same bright green tile backsplash. We added open shelving to match the other end of the space, plus a wine fridge for a modern touch.
Now the breakfast nook leading to the lanai is sunny and colorful, featuring a custom built-in corner bench seat, table, and chairs.
See how much more natural sunlight is reaching the interior of the house? It makes the newly-replaced golden wood flooring really shine.
