A small, outdated farmhouse in Connecticut was given new life thanks to a smart remodel from Hendricks Churchill LLC. The home's kitchen was expanded, windows were added to let in more natural light and the ceilings were raised, opening up the floor plan. New furnishings were chosen by designer Kathryn Fagin of KJ Designs to make the interior family-friendly as well.
