Flooring dilemmas were resolved by achieving a flush transition from the level of the existing hardwood flooring to the ceramic tile floor in the work area. The floor framing of the existing structure was reinforced so that a thinner sub floor and cement board underlayment could be used.

Hardwood floors were feathered into the original and given a dark stain to match the existing stain as closely as possible. The ceiling on the first floor addition was framed flush with the existing 9' ceiling height. Trim styles were matched for windows, door, baseboards and crown molding.
