We transformed an older home to one that would fit the homeowner’s contemporary lifestyle. The renovations included a remodeled dining room and kitchen, a mudroom addition and a back outdoor stair to the dining room. Additionally, we managed to shoe-horn a small half bath in the original hall coat closet and create a stacked laundry closet off the dining room behind a concealed door.
