The first-floor kitchen renovation involved removing a flat ceiling to reveal the original cathedral-style design. With the removal of the existing ceiling framing, a structural challenge was effectively resolved through a tailored solution to bear the weight of the roof while creating a beautiful new ceiling. The resulting cathedral-style ceiling showcases exposed beams above the kitchen, dining room, and home office, stained to create a striking contrast against the white walls. Trapezoid-shaped windows on the gable ends were replaced with custom windows meticulously measured to fit the original cedar framing. Custom modifications were made to establish a foundation for a commercial pizza oven, complemented by custom brick and wood cabinets. Additional custom casework, including a bar, was integrated to elevate the overall visual appeal of the kitchen and dining area.
