Main floor remodel in Olathe

Attached to the kitchen area sits a small room where the children watched TV over a fireplace with 2 chairs facing in. Our clients did not like the old style of wood mantel and surround in golden oak. They also wanted more people to be able to converse in the small area. Arlene Ladegaard principle designer of Design Connection, Inc. found a new solution to the problem without completely rebuilding the fireplace. Painting the wood white form the dated maple worked to bring this wood framed surround into this century. A new tile selection that worked well with the colors from the kitchen tied the two areas together. After careful planning a sectional with a chaise was the perfect solution and a small ottoman for drinks helped delineate the space and add additional seating for four people to watch TV and gather. Custom artwork was created to work with the colors and size of the wall space. A cabinet to house the TV equipment was the right solution for the wall space. It all blends beautifully with the kitchen and Mom can see what the kids are doing while she prepares the family meals. Design Connection, Inc. provided space plans, tile, painting, furniture, accessories, hard wood floors and installation of all materials and project management
