The Unfolding of an Amazing Renovation in Boise Idaho
Elkhorn Building Company, in Meridian Idaho, is currently in the process of this home remodel, aiming to bring it out of the outdated 70's era and into the contemporary world. The house, particularly the kitchen, was reminiscent of a time capsule with its popcorn ceilings and outdated cabinets. However, through the implementation of creative and innovative changes, they successfully managed to turn the space into a modern, welcoming, and cohesive area. This kitchen remodel was a complete transformation with the addition of a striking green cabinet, a shiplap ceiling, and a captivating copper hood, resulting in a truly remarkable outcome.

In its place, a spacious concept great room has been created, enhancing the sense of flow and connectivity.

Finally, a stunning copper statement hood has been installed, bringing a modern and eye-catching element to the kitchen.
