Inspiration for a craftsman entryway remodel in Charlotte

This fairly new home was built on Daniel Island right on beautiful Smythe Park. The homeowners purchased the five-year-old home because of its location and potential, but they had great plans to make it more modern and unique to their styles by incorporating transitional and modern design. They decided to go very white, creating a sleek, clean look while contrasting it against stained, dark hardwood floors. The project included adding new hardware, applying a fresh coat of paint to the entire interior (walls and ceilings), adding new light fixtures, refinishing the floors throughout the home and remodeling the master bathroom, morning kitchen, main kitchen and butler’s pantry cabinetry with newly refinished cabinetry, countertops and fixtures. What a remarkable transformation! The family able to create a fresh new look while keeping the architectural bones of the home in tact. Photography by: Brennan Wesley

If you have a vision, we can paint it. Some of our clients know exactly what they want and others need a little more help to achieve the look that reflects their taste. Don't be afraid to do something different. It's only paint...

Black venetian plaster with smooth and glossy finish. Venetian plaster is a wall and ceiling finish consisting of plaster mixed with marble dust, applied with a spatula or trowel in thin, multiple layers, which are then burnished to create a smooth surface with the illusion of depth and texture.

There are many new buildings in this area, creating a need for the owner to give the apartment community a more updated look. Using wood and steel, along with LED lighting and specialty signage, we were sure to make this commercial remodel meet the client’s needs for a fresh new look. A new product, called DI-NOC, from 3M, was used to give the columns a chic new look. This is a specialty film that can give existing finishes an updated look without completely replacing everything. Continuing to modernize the look of the building, we renovated their signage both on the upper corner of the building and by adding a new marquee sign alongside the front steps. We also wrapped the front retaining wall in aluminum for added curb appeal. Other updates we did to the front entryway include: adding a new eyebrow to the upper porch (again, using the DI-NOC), and on the underside, adding a beautiful cedar plank ceiling.

The entry dome and chandelier medallion to this prominent Park Lane estate were lost in a cloud of white before its dramatic transformation through my application of carefully selected areas to receive 24k gold, hand-marbleizing and nuanced black paint.

On this project, Century Stair handled both design development and fabrication. Our team worked with the architects and engineers to really capture their vision for this stair system. The handrail system, stringers, and stunning walnut treads and risers were manufactured with the same level of precision applied by fine furniture artists. In the end, this stately home has a stunning custom curved staircase that exceeded the clients’ expectations. 1976-2025 © Century Stair Company
