Lakehouse Kitchen Remodel
With the lake being such a beautiful setting for this home, we wanted to ensure the homeowner could enjoy the view from all remodeled spaces. The dividing wall between the limiting, former galley kitchen and family room was removed to accomplish this.
In the kitchen, new cabinetry and granite countertops were installed with gorgeous glass tile backsplash in Glacier Gloss Horizon Blue to compliment the new cabinetry colors.
The reallocation of all appliances was a strategic choice, allowing the homeowner to utilize their new space, enjoy the outdoor scenery, and entertain guests as the are seated at the flanking island.
You’ll notice crown molding and custom woodwork columns on either side of the island. A bold but rewarding decision that gave a sense of separation of the two areas, while maintaining the open concept design. All existing hardwood floors were also refinished and fresh paint coated the walls throughout.
A stunning transformation for this home with quite the view! Please take a look through the before and after photos of this project.

Vintage Bathroom Remodel of a 1920s Home
This bathroom had a ton of character, but the homeowner was feeling not so pretty in pink! Our team gutted the bath to studs, removed all wall and floor tile, as well as re-framed for a larger walk-in shower.
Walls and ceilings received all-new plaster. For the floor, penny tile was installed in the bath and shower. The shower also received a beautiful marble threshold, soft white beveled subway tile with light gray grout, and a custom frameless shower glass door with chrome hardware.
Can’t forget the small details! Vintage style plumbing fixtures, vintage style electrical fixtures, and new window trim and baseboard to match the existing home’s trim profiles also made their marks in this remodel. We also were able to preserve the original radiator cover (per the owner’s request), vapor honed and repainted to match the existing trim color.
