Sherman Kitchen & Bath Remodel – Open-Concept Living & Functional Design
Project Overview
This Sherman home remodel transformed a 1960s house into a modern, functional, and open-concept living space. Originally, the home had a segmented layout with a formal living room, dining room, kitchen, and den. The homeowners wanted a better flow for entertaining, an updated kitchen and laundry area, a dedicated home office, and a guest-friendly bathroom with a bathtub for their new grandbaby.
Design Solutions
To bring this vision to life, we:
Opened up the kitchen, den, and living room by removing walls to create an open-concept floor plan perfect for entertaining.
Designed an L-shaped kitchen with a large island, offering improved storage, workflow, and a stylish modern aesthetic.
Converted an exterior storage closet into a walk-in pantry, maximizing space efficiency.
Designed a custom home office, incorporating built-in cabinetry, a desk, and ample storage for work essentials.
Expanded the Jack-and-Jill bathroom, utilizing closet space to accommodate a spacious tub/shower combo for guest convenience.
Redesigned the asymmetrical fireplace, creating a balanced, visually appealing focal point in the living room.
Results & Impact
Every aspect of this Sherman home remodel was designed with both functionality and resale value in mind. The thoughtful upgrades created a modern, stylish, and highly livable space. While the homeowners initially planned to stay long-term, life changes led them to sell—and the house sold within four hours of being listed!
