1978 ranch with vintage flair.
When our clients purchased their 1978 Milwaukie home, they hated the existing kitchen and dreaded the idea of remodeling it. The galley kitchen layout stumped them, and they didn’t know what to do with the space. After partnering with the Mountainwood Homes’ design/build team, they decided to go for it. The goal was to modernize the kitchen to look good with their established 1970s aesthetic throughout the rest of their home.
