The Palmer belonged to friends of my great grandparents, and the it was my grandma’s house for 45 years until she died when she was in her 90s. When she died, we sold the house to a family who did a top to bottom renovation.
Here in the dining room they removed the old built in pantry cabinet, plaster walls, linoleum floor, mantle, ceiling fan, and replaced the windows. They also opened up the door way between the living room and dining room. You can’t see it, but behind where this picture was taken, they also removed the wall between the kitchen and dining room to make an open concept. The open concept is what makes The Palmer what it is today.
The family sold to another family who installed the pantry and coffee bar. When I bought the house 10 years after selling it, I painted the walls, trim, installed new lighting, and replaced the coffee bar and kitchen countertops. This space is perfect for hosting and for brides and their bridal parties to spread out.
I can’t believe these are the same space!
