Wooden Home Remodeling: "The kitchen is usually the first room a wooden home remodelingowner wants to remodel," explained Christine Santana, president of the Pasadena chapter of ASID. A well-designed kitchen improvement can add thousands of dollars to a wooden home remodeling's value; most of the cost can be recouped at sale, according to ASID members.
One of the tour wooden home remodelings, a 1941 ranch-style wooden home remodeling in the Linda Vista
area, was completely updated by Michele Hughes for a young professional couple. After the remodeling, all that was left of the original kitchen were exterior walls and foundation. A marble-topped chef's table now forms the centerpiece of the newly designed kitchen. Textured beams added to the ceiling create a feeling of coziness along with a color scheme that unifies the house and garden. Two rooms of the house have been adapted as work areas and feature sophisticated storage spaces with custom cabinetry.
