Becoming new grandparents, with the addition of five grandchildren in two years, persuaded these homeowners to contact Maxson Remodeling with their "dream" remodel wishes. With all family gatherings taking place in the new grandparent's home, the small outdated rooms did not lend to the closeness that they hoped to accomplish. The "dream" was to have plenty of room in one large central area for visiting and eating with family, friends, and bible studies.

Starting with the existing floor plan the new design opened up the small galley kitchen in three different directions: the dining-living rooms, the family room, and the former breakfast-sewing areas. This was accomplished by removing load bearing walls, installing a new recessed beam, demolishing half walls, old dark cabinetry, and windows into the sunroom.

The remodel solution included a mixture of wood and white cabinetry, some with glass and special lighting to display collectable dishes and tea pots. Pendant lighting was installed over the new gathering/eating island area with a solid surface countertop. The cooks' working area was expanded and upgraded with some new amenities. The flooring consists of a combination of ceramic tile and carpeting.
