Meet the Homeowners
Brent and Erica love their 80-year-old home in a historic part of Nashville, but their old kitchen was impossibly small and impractical. Their kitchen wish list reads: "More space (We have the smallest kitchen ever!); an open floor plan that works for family gatherings; new countertops and appliances since we both love to cook."
Color Consult
John and Anthony make a trip to the paint store to pick out a palette for the new kitchen and adjacent spaces.
Work In Progress
Benchwork
Anthony creates a handmade wooden bench for the new informal dining space.
