After
The previous owners of this house had updated the floor plan by creating pass-throughs and removing doors, but they didn’t do us any favors with the details.
The trim around the pass-throughs was all wrong, the granite bar was too big for the space and the paint job in the dining room was poorly done. Plus, the dark color and the oversized chandelier made the room feel smaller than it was.
Now, all the areas flow together. The lighter color on the walls brightens up everything and the applied molding and wainscoting we added lends a touch of elegance to the dining space, while the new trim around the pass-throughs and cased openings delivers the clean lines we needed at those transitions.
Plus, replacing the granite bar with a simple piece of 1-by-8 has given space back to the living room.
Inside, we spent just under $600 on materials. And, just outside the back door the new TV cabinet we created for about $100 offers plenty of entertainment on the spacious deck.
