Dixie & Aaron | Total Main Level Remodel in Norwalk
Whole Home Remodeling
Whole Home Remodel, Kitchen Remodeling, Exteriors
When we sat down for our initial design planning meetings, Dixie and Aaron had a good understanding of their layout and what they wanted but our team helped them to see even more possibilities that would add function and a cohesive look to their home.
We started with fixing their closed off entry by removing the closet and hallway to open up the space. This dramatically changed the atmosphere when walking in, making you feel more invited into the home with a clear line of sight to the living room from the front door. We also added a faux beam to the living room to bring some warmth and visual interest to the vaulted ceiling.
Before, the home had a variety of separate flooring materials on the main level, creating unnecessary separation between the spaces and making it more difficult to clean when crumbs and dirt caught between the transitions. We removed this problem by replacing the entire main level with LVP, a durable option perfect for those with pets and kids. With single flooring, the main level flows seamlessly from room to room and makes the overall design of the home more cohesive.
We stole unused square footage from the spacious garage to allow for a half bath and a mudroom off the kitchen and dining room area, a much needed drop zone for a busy family that was previously using their dining room for all their coats, shoes and bags. They now have a dedicated place to drop their stuff, giving them their dining room back and allowing them to enjoy meals as a family and display their art and decor.
The living room contained a wood stove that was unused and contributed to an awkward layout so we replaced it with an electric fireplace that used the existing alcove. A stunning feature wall with storage maximizes the living space and evokes a cozy atmosphere.
It was a joy to work with Dixie and Aaron. They were open minded during the design phase and really trusted our team to execute on the overall vision for the space. This complete overhaul of the main floor gave this family’s home a new life and more functional layout for decades to come.
