My clients, a retired surgeon and his wife hired me to renovate their claustrophobic , dark-paneled family room along with the adjacent dining room, kitchen and laundry room for their home in Pennington, NJ. These photos portray the successful transition between the dated room and now. Not only did I suggest removing the ceiling beams and dark paneling, but we "borrowed" space from above the adjacent garage to open up the ceiling and vault it with brand new skylights to allow in maximum sunlight on those cold Northeastern winter days.
