The lovely mid-century flavor of this Concordia house was faithfully reflected in this kitchen remodel. Wood tones predominate in the cabinets (teak), hardware, and trim, warming the heart of the home.
Large-format penny tile brings a texture to the backsplash that is playful and bright, nicely blending with the countertop and walls for a fresh and bright look. Suspended shelving replaced low-hanging upper cabinets, lifting and opening the space.
A new, full-width awning window over a deep countertop is a perfect extension to the outdoor living space, which also allows unobstructed light to flood the kitchen. Adding a little extra seating and a beverage fridge primed this space for a party!
This spacious Tudor suffered from being stuck in the 80’s. To highlight the beautiful windows, trim was replaced with a more traditional size and style. Wainscoting was added to the dining room to create architectural interest and both entryways were opened up to create a more formal look, including custom cabinetry that transmits the abundant natural light in each room.
A rather plain guest bath was made dramatic with playful wallpaper and a combination of new and vintage gilt fixtures that evoke a sense of entering a bejeweled box.
This 19th-century home didn’t have a master bath. We transformed an adjoining sunporch used as a makeshift closet, providing the owners with a light-filled master bathroom that also accommodated a variety of storage needs.
A focus on material and fixture selections retained some the home’s original character while also providing some personal flair.
This room was in need of storage space and a new purpose. It lacked a closet, so we designed built-ins and bench storage that perfectly frames the west-facing windows.
Thoughtful design transformed an underused room into a fully functional home office with a bonus of an easy conversion to a bedroom.
This basement was repurposed from a dark storage space into a light and fun family room, small kitchen, and bathroom, providing the homeowners with a get-away for guests, movie watching, and sleepovers for grandchildren.
Unique Feature: An antique Asian cabinet now serves as a bathroom vanity, complete with an inset sink and a bamboo-styled faucet.
A century-old home needed an uplift to the master suite that would be consistent with the home’s original style while providing more modern conveniences.
A new gas fireplace, mantle, and built-in bookcase were designed with a nod to a downstairs fireplace, bridging the update to the rest of the home.
The master bath was reconfigured to maximize the space and the finishes were chosen to retain the traditional look.
Unique Feature: A previously purchased bedroom set did not fit within the homeowner’s remodel plans. As a solution, we transformed the dresser into the bathroom vanity, which maintained continuity throughout the ensuite.
Removing the dropped ceiling created an illusion of space in this petite guest bath. Using reclaimed wood as an unexpected material and pattern on the floor, and painting the walls a bold blue helped create a dramatic look.
A massive redesign of this kitchen undid a remodel thoughtlessly done decades ago.
An uninsulated built-in porch was transformed into a breakfast nook, complete with new, energy-efficient windows, and opened to the kitchen area.
All appliances were relocated and updated, and cabinets were designed to maximize storage and capitalize on the room’s natural light. The result is an efficient and bright kitchen perfect for creating feasts with friends and family.
Unique Feature: The top of an antique armoire was re-purposed as a decorative range hood.
This first-time homeowner wanted to transform her outdated home into a modern, open space primed for entertaining.
A limited budget was no deterrent; by removing some walls, matching up hardwood flooring, and designing a breezy, sleek galley kitchen integrated with the dining and living areas, we achieved all her goals.
The original bathroom layout was not an efficient use of space, and the outdated decor was incompatible with the home’s style. A rearrangement of fixtures, at minimal cost, helped to create a bathroom with charm and functionality.
Unique Feature: A fabulous Craigslist find made a perfect bathroom vanity and provided coveted extra storage for this mid-century home.
