"We first transformed the space by hiring a contractor to knock out the dividing walls separating the two living rooms. The renovation involved taking out the old carpet, replacing the light fixture with a more modern one, upgrading the windows, and repurposing the spaces. We moved the dining space into the former main living space, and we now use what was a garage many moons ago as our living room."
"Although more light pours in now, thanks to the eliminated walls, we had to do some work to make the room feel, well, less garage-like. We also added a fresh coat of white paint ( Benjamin Moore's Chantilly Lace), and put down light oak luxury vinyl flooring (it fits the bright, open feel we were going for, and it holds up to spills and messes from our toddler)."
A 1970s ranch with two adjacent living spaces and a tiny connecting dining room was reconfigured into a bright, open living area by removing the dividing walls. The renovation included removing old carpet, updating the light fixture, upgrading windows, and repurposing rooms so the former garage now functions as the living room and the main space serves as the dining area. Walls were painted Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace for reflective brightness, and light oak luxury vinyl flooring was installed for durability and a cohesive aesthetic. A gallery wall was created to display family paintings and collected artworks.
