First Floor and Kitchen Renovation in Media, PA

This main-floor renovation focused on opening up the home, improving its flow, and bringing substantially more natural light into the kitchen and living areas. We reframed the exterior wall, redesigned the window and door layout, added new windows, widened the openings between the living room and kitchen, and removed the wall that previously divided the kitchen from the eat-in area. The result is one large, connected kitchen and dining space that flows naturally into the adjacent living room.

The kitchen features custom maple cabinetry with a custom stain, complemented by painted cabinetry on the island, range hood area, and built-in banquette. Other finishes include custom quartzite countertops, a glass backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, and pendant lighting. We also installed new wood flooring throughout the main level, rebuilt the staircase, and updated interior doors, trim, and railings.

The former separate kitchen and eat-in rooms were combined into one larger space. A custom banquette with built-in cabinetry creates a dedicated dining area while maintaining an open connection to the island and main kitchen.

A wide view of the remodeled kitchen shows the new open layout connecting the kitchen, eat-in area, and living room. The large quartzite-topped island creates a functional centerpiece while the expanded openings make the entire main floor feel more connected.

The oversized island provides generous prep space, storage, seating, and a central sink. Custom maple cabinetry with a stained finish is paired with painted accent cabinetry, creating the two-tone design used throughout the kitchen.

Custom maple cabinets, quartzite countertops, a glass backsplash, open shelving, and under-cabinet lighting bring together the material palette of the new kitchen. The reworked window and door layout also brings significantly more daylight into the space.

The renovated living room now connects directly to the kitchen and dining area through an enlarged opening, creating better flow between the main living spaces. New windows and continuous hardwood flooring help make the first floor feel brighter and more unified.
