A matchbox-sized cluttered kitchen circa 1970's goes to demo-heaven to add tons of much needed space, storage, light, and style. This floor to ceiling renovation demos two walls: an exterior patio wall that's replaced by a sliding glass door and brand new air conditioner and a kitchen wall that's rebuilt as a pony wall/bar. Add new countertops, maple cabinets, vinyl floors, appliances, skylight, sink and faucet and you've got a comfortable space --full of style and grace.

A catch-all room addition undergoes a mood altering transformation cool enugh to make Sinatra proud. Broken windows gets replaced by floor to ceiling double pane beauties, a boring wall gets bricked over with thin veneer, a raggedy 40 year old linoleum floor gets a plush tile carpet upgrade, the fire hole gets a fire feature, recycled countertops with hammered copper sink and 2 under-counter refrigerators create the lounge vibe cooled by the installation of a new air conditioner.
