The homeowners in this Van Alstyne house wanted their kitchen, dining room, and living room to feel open and connected, without the cost of a full remodel. Koryente handled the electrical and lighting, working alongside general contractor Schwartz Construction Inc. The work was finished in March 2026.
Schwartz Construction took out the decorative columns that boxed the rooms in and installed headers in their place. Koryente planned the lighting around the new layout so the three rooms read as one space.
In the kitchen, Koryente updated the recessed lighting to 6-inch fixtures, put a new LED fixture over the breakfast nook, and added dimmable LED lighting under the cabinets along the backsplash, giving the homeowners bright task light for cooking or a softer glow in the evening.
All of it runs on the home's existing electrical system. The new lighting fit on the panel and circuits already in place, so there was no subpanel or panel upgrade to pay for.
The homeowners kept their oak cabinets and granite counters and had the cabinets painted, and wood-look tile replaced three different floors across the kitchen, dining, and living rooms. Schwartz Construction handled the demolition, headers, drywall, and paint.
