This terrific home presented a poorly laid out main floor that, among other issues, confined the kitchen to the center with no direct access to sunlight.  Thus, even during the day, the electric fixtures were necessary in all kitchen functions...that is terrible for a home boasting lavish forest views!  Once the dining room was lovingly relocated the kitchen shifted to the view wall and now provides copious natural light, inherently drawing people in to perform a plethora of disparate activity.  Also remedied in this remodel were a gloomy hallway, a cramped entry foyer and a lonely, isolated office...all dramatically brightened and rearranged.  Now the whole floor is Happy-Town!

Of Note — Notice the window left of the range?  The homeowners initially didn't want it when we presented it as an option.  Occasionally, we will gently nudge an element we feel is significant for the result...and did with this window.  The reason?  Well, despite a large window nearby, that counter area would experience meager use because not only is it a corner, it is a SHADOWED corner near a highly used cooking zone.  Persons are drawn to pleasantness and would more assuredly utilize that section if naturally lit and free of upper cabinetry hampering one's face-space.  When we photographed the finished project we asked which was their favorite aspect of enjoyment...at once, both pointed to that extra window in the corner.   Imagine that...
