Matt and Melissa bought their charming 1925 2-story a little more than a year ago for the wide open layout as well as the neighborhood.

Their worn and tiny kitchen, however, is proving to be too daunting of a project, even for them! With the help of contractor James Young, they'll open up the space to the adjoining dining room, then, add style and function to the room with new cabinets, a stone floor, glass countertops and a snazzy, recycled metal backsplash.
