The Durango Remodel Project - Tacoma, WA

Towards the end of the 2019 we took on this little 770 SQ FT mid century home remodel in Tacoma’s Proctor district and gave it much needed facelift. We started out by completely gutting the kitchen and widening the entry into the living room. Then we fully redesigned the kitchen by creating a more functional layout with an updated modern look. For the living area, we wanted to make the fireplace a focal point so we started by removing the ugly fireplace insert, painted wood above the mantle and dark tile in the front. Then we installed a new horizontal modern wood built-in above the fireplace with new white tile down below. The final touches involved sanding and refinishing the original oak floors and installing updated modern trim throughout the house.
