When the homeowners purchased their home, it had a dedicated in-law apartment at one end of it with a separate entrance and kitchen. They decided to repurpose the space by making it a huge living room area with vaulted ceilings. We gutted the room down to the studs, vaulted the ceiling, and installed all new wall board, windows, a new exterior door, widened the opening to the kitchen, leveled off the floor with the rest of the home (it had previously been two steps down), and installed hardwood floors.
