"This house is a true '70s home with a very '70s kitchen. From the mustard linoleum floors, laminate counter tops, a huge fluorescent troffer light, and last but not least, the 'boob light,' this kitchen was practically screaming for a makeover."
"First up was removing the giant troffer light, which made the ceilings feel about a foot shorter than they actually were. Jenessa replaced that with can lighting and a pendant in the center of her kitchen. Removing the bulky light allowed room for taller cabinets that stretch all the way up to the ceiling, helping to elongate the whole space."
Jenessa Weaver's 1977 home featured a kitchen filled with characteristic '70s design elements that needed updating: mustard-colored linoleum floors, laminate countertops, bulky fluorescent troffer lighting, and brown cabinetry that made the space feel cramped and yellowed. Working with designer Alysha from Camp Interiors, Jenessa and her contractor father undertook a renovation focused on farmhouse charm and improved functionality. Key changes included removing the oversized troffer light and replacing it with recessed can lighting and a pendant fixture, which allowed for taller cabinets extending to the ceiling. Glass-front upper cabinets and open shelving were incorporated to create a more modern, spacious aesthetic while maintaining the home's character.
