Mannington Flooring Installation
The flooring throughout the entire home, including the staircase, the red oak flooring was upgraded to high-quality Mannington Handcrafted Wood Plank flooring. This not only provided a seamless and modern look but also improved the durability and ease of maintenance. The new flooring has become a standout feature, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of every room.

Kitchen & Dining Area Transformation
The kitchen, dining room, and breakfast nook received a major upgrade with a fresh coat of paint that brightened up the cabinetry and overall space, updated Mannington flooring, and modern lighting fixtures and hardware. These simple yet impactful change gave the kitchen a fresh and inviting feel.
To ensure a cohesive and polished look, we also repaired and finished the backsplash over the range to match the existing design. These updates combined to create a kitchen that is both beautiful and practical, making it a true centerpiece of the home.

A Fresh Coat of Brilliance
We refreshed the entire first floor, kitchen cabinetry, and the upstairs foyer area with new paint. This update brightened the spaces, giving them a fresh, inviting feel. The new color palette was carefully chosen to complement the home’s existing features while providing a modern, updated look.
Electrical & Lighting Updates
To enhance the ambiance and functionality of the home, we made significant updates to the lighting. We moved electrical wiring to center a new fixture over the breakfast nook table and replaced fixtures in the foyer, living room, and dining room. These changes not only improved lighting but also added a touch of sophistication to each space.
