Full-Home Remodeling on Long Island

The kitchen now has dark wood cabinets, light speckled counters, a light tile backsplash and a large tile floor.

In the family room, a half wall came out so the room opens to the dining area, and large gray tile runs through the living space. The fireplace had a damaged painted mantel. It now has a stacked-stone surround and a dark wood mantel.

The split-level stairs got wood handrails, white posts and black metal spindles, with the wood floors refinished around them. Bedrooms lost their carpet and wood paneling: the floors were refinished and the walls painted. The lower level went from bare concrete and open studs to a finished room with plank flooring and painted walls.

There are three bathrooms in this work: one with a frameless glass shower, marble-look tile and a floating vanity; one with a gray double vanity and a lit mirror; and one with a tub, sliding glass doors and a tiled niche.

The kitchen was drawn in 3D first. The finished kitchen kept that layout, with gray shaker cabinets, a marble-look island and a blue mosaic backsplash, on a herringbone wood floor that runs on into the living area.

The bedrooms got new plank wood floors in place of old parquet, and the hallway a new wood floor along the stair rail. There is also a small bathroom with a floating vanity and white subway tile.
