In this remodel, the living room and kitchen area has been opened up to allow for a fluid, cohesive design. The room measures approximately 20×15 feet. The living area now features a sleek, slate-colored sectional sofa that provides ample seating. In place of the current layout, a reclaimed wood coffee table adds a rustic touch, while industrial-style lighting fixtures enhance the modern aesthetic. The kitchen boasts light wood cabinetry, which blends rustic charm with a modern feel. A central butcher block island doubles as both a preparation area and a casual dining space, with stainless steel appliances tying together the modern functionality. A cozy reading nook is positioned near the stairwell, featuring a comfortable chair and a small shelf, providing a quiet retreat within the open space. Large windows have been included to flood the room with natural light, enhancing the earthy tones and minimalist aesthetic, all achieved within a budget of $5,000.
