**★★★★★ — Adam G, Sept. 2017**

> Cary Hart and Baxter blew away our expectations on our home remodel. The entire house from top to bottom was transformed into something we could have never imagined. They stayed on budget (which for a home of this age and amount of work needed is exceptional), and also kept their timeline. I highly recommend Baxter for any home/business renovation needs.

  - Location: Poughkeepsie, NY
  - Photos: 26
  - Description: The original house at this estate had builder-grade characteristics, so we took many of the walls down to create a more open layout. This immediately modernized the house and allowed for a more comfortable, contemporary flow for the homeowner. The unique design choices: gray cabinetry in the kitchen, dark gray doors, rooms painted eggplant and even black, along with ornate, high-end light fixtures, wallpaper and wall coverings, combine for real standout moments in every room. Yet the overall fee…

  - Description: We wanted to feature this private residence because of the deep emotional connection our client had to the space. Her father grew up in the house. In fact, as many as three generations had lived in the house before her, and she was excited to do gut renovations, but anxious about the changes she was making – not just to the home, but to the preservation of her family's past. One of the ways we worked with this client was to uncover ways to a more modern space and design, but hold on to various t…

  - Description: We worked closely with the owner of this gorgeous Hyde Park home in the Hudson Valley to do a completely customized 500 square foot addition to feature a stand-out, luxury ensuite bathroom and mirrored private gym. It was important that we respect and replicate the original, historic house and its overall look and feel, despite the modern upgrades. Just some features of this complete, top-to-bottom design/build project include a simple, but beautiful free-standing soaking tub, steam shower, slat…

  - Description: Mill House is a stunning example of expressive design and gut renovation at its best. We preserved plenty of original charm in this pre-1830s, historical building, while adding modern, industrial, but warm details throughout the space. It remains one of our team's favorite projects, for all of the hard work, standout features, and overall success of the business in our community. Mill House showcases multiple spaces for everything from leisurely, intimate dining, with cozy tufted banquettes to a…
