The project
Project overview
A 1,858-square-foot house built in 1945, where the kitchen and the bathroom were both original enough that updating one without the other would have looked odd. Doing them together in a single schedule meant one set of trades, one dust-containment setup, and finishes chosen to agree with each other. The kitchen was renovated with white cabinetry, new appliances and a tiled backsplash. The bathroom was redone in subway tile. New flooring and carpet went in throughout, and the whole interior was repainted.

Lake Villa has a lot of pre-war houses on big lots near the chain of lakes. They tend to be structurally sound with small, closed-off original kitchens — which makes the kitchen the single highest-return room to remodel in this housing stock.
