A COMPLETE HOME RENOVATION IN SOUTH DARTMOUTH, MA

This home renovation project is a comprehensive overhaul that aims to create a modern aesthetic while preserving the house's existing proportions. The project involves replacing all arched windows with larger picture windows topped with transoms, allowing the house to take full advantage of its cathedral ceilings. Additionally, a new front porch is being added to enhance the exterior appeal.

The main purpose of the renovation is to eliminate the bearing wall between the kitchen and family room, creating an open floor plan. This will be accompanied by the addition of a new family room fireplace and doors to the deck. The existing floors will be refinished, and new ones added to match, ensuring a cohesive look.

To balance the renovation's new materials, the cathedral space over the breakfast table will be framed down and molded to showcase a venetian plaster ceiling in the most seen area of the house. Throughout the renovation, a harmonious look will be achieved, avoiding an overdone appearance.

Overall, the renovation project will result in a modern, functional, and aesthetically pleasing home.
