This primary bathroom was Street of Dreams quality in the late ‘80’s, but was showing it’s age with self-rimming sinks on polished tile counters and painted oak cabinetry. Despite vaulted ceilings and a large window over the Jacuzzi tub, the layout made for a dark shower and hallway of closets. For long-term livability, the best solution was to reconfigure interior walls and redesign the entire space to better reflect current lifestyles as well as aesthetics.

The result was an updated primary suite highlighting soft gray tones with purple emphasis everywhere, (cabinets, tiles, paint), a successful challenge transformed into oasis of color!

A Reflective vertical surfaces visually expanded usable area, as well as providing dual usage of linen closet space. Dual vanities occupy the space that was once hanging closets, and custom cabinetry provides ample storage as well as creating a grounding contrast to the large glass shower and window on the opposite wall.   A glass panel visually separates the two vanities, and the large mirrors topping the custom tile backsplash allow views of the extensive tile details in the shower, as well as highlighting the mercury glass pendant lighting.  The oversized shower is luxurious with two recessed niches, a 4’ x 5’ tile accent, and a full width natural stone topped bench.  Adding to the spa like feel are a ceiling mounted rain shower, a handheld shower, and a wall mounted shower head.  The existing west-facing window provides abundant natural light, and 4 separate lighting zones, all accentuated with dimmers, allow for a variety of lighting options throughout the space.

The original powder room separating the primary suite from the home office was deemed unnecessary as a more accessible powder room existed in the common area of the main floor.  The window was maintained in the new design by flanking it with two glass front towers sitting atop a dressing table cabinet that is highlighted by a hinge top, lighted make up mirror.  A set of double doors open to the original office previously adorned in honey oak wainscot and a paneled fireplace wall. Existing windows were treated with light-obscuring film and the entire space was re-purposed to a lofty and light walk-in closet, complete with long-hanging perimeter storage, drawers and custom shoe shelving at the south-facing windows.

Outdoor Living Project | “Game Day Ready”

In a world where outdated layouts and finishes threaten the peace of homeowners, our team steps up to the challenge. Get ready for – “You Only Remodel Twice”!

Named as a play on the movie “You Only Live Twice” – this project is the first of two. In this epic renovation tale, our homeowners tackle a massive ’80s home remodel with one goal in mind: to replace old-school aesthetics with modern functionality. With masterful precision and cunning strategy, we relocate the primary suite to an addition over the garage, creating a guest suite, exercise room and office in its place.

We also relocated the laundry upstairs to create a mud room on the main floor. And let’s not forget about the updated kitchen and entire main floor renovation that bring this home into the 21st century.

With lasting quality and reasonable budget as their weapons of choice, we selected finishes tough enough to withstand even the wildest kids and dogs. The result? A highly functional yet cozy interior and exterior that will stand the test of time.

But wait – there’s more! The sequel to this project promises to be just as thrilling as our first adventure. Get ready for an outdoor living area that will take your breath away. It’s all part of our mission to make sure you only remodel twice.

This project began as a kitchen remodel.  As the plan evolved, the heart of the home ultimately encompassed the panty, butler’s pantry, nook, living room and mud room.  The original kitchen was not functional for the lifestyle of the new homeowners.  One of the challenges were replacing and leveling the wavy, moist floor.

All within eye shot- butler’s pantry, mud room, family room and nook, all connecting and symmetrical with elegance and additional storage throughout.  The peninsula was removed and replaced with an island for  better circulation.  Custom cabinets were fitted in place before being filled, sanded and painted with a conversion varnish.

During the design process a sculpture was made of the pendant lights to demonstrate size and best locations for new glass illumination above the island.  Lighting positions were adjusted to accommodate the cabinetry and task areas.  The kitchen nook that had previously featured a dining table under chandelier was re-designed to be a conversational lounging area.

Overbearing with oak, the butler’s pantry now a team member,  saturated with color, light and accents to complement the kitchen.  The home’s only laundry facility seemed like an architect’s afterthought. Realizing there was not a good location to wash 3 beautiful dogs, a mud room renovation was realized.

By expanding 5 feet into the garage, the space seemingly doubled, allowing for improved storage and functionality, including a dog washing station lined with subway tile and a custom sized shower door.  Elegant pebble shower floor with easy to reach, adjustable hand-held shower head for versatility of use and ease of dog washing.  Hooks allow for leashes, collars and towels at arms length.

The previous owners had replaced carpet with mismatched flooring beneath a dominating, brick fireplace.  Covering the brick with a natural ledgestone, changing the wainscot, painting existing cabinets and recessing a TV into the back of the chimney allowed this room to be lighter and more inviting. New charcoal gray tile was installed throughout the space.
