Before: 2 bed, 1 bath bungalow
After: 2 bed, 1 bath bungalow w/ remodeled kitchen and new adjacent family/mudroom & deck

​Do you find yourself wishing for a more functional entry to your bungalow, with room to store shoes and coats, or wipe dirty paws? Add a rear addition to create a family room adjacent to the kitchen, mudroom entry, and a better connection to the exterior with a deck for outdoor entertaining off of the addition. Also included in this design scheme is a remodeled kitchen within its original footprint, with modern amenities for your family.
