This condo in the Near North neighborhood started with a hope for a more modern kitchen and grew into one of the best condo renovations we’ve done all year. While Katie (the huskie puppy pictured above) and her human family had an excellent view of Downtown Chicago, the interior of their home was sadly lacking in luster. Enter 123 Remodeling. We did major updates in the kitchen, bathroom, and living room, to create an elegant new home for relaxing and entertaining.

The biggest difference is that we removed all original flooring and replaced it with a lovely Brazilian pecan. It’s an uncommon choice, lending a unique flavor that will impress visitors for sure. The condo used to have several different flooring materials, with a sudden carpet split at the living room. Since the wood goes through the whole condo, it adds continuity to the design.

With dining moved to the kitchen, there’s more room for couches and this stellar fireplace coffee table. And, most importantly, the more open floorplan means Katie can lounge on the rug without anyone being forced to climb over her.

We’re thrilled to have such a stunning end product to share with you, and even more pleased to add a few more happy customers to our list (that includes you, Katie).
