Made for cooking and company.
When the homeowners married last year, they combined households and updated her husband’s 1997 Hillsboro home to reflect their shared style and love of entertaining. The remodel expanded the kitchen into the unused nook to create defined cooking, hosting, and gathering zones. Dated angles were removed, and the fireplace was simplified for a clean, modern look. Thoughtful details like a mixer lift for homemade pasta and layered finishes bring function, warmth, and personality to the refreshed main level.
