Living room library - eclectic enclosed living room library idea in Other with multicolored walls

Bloomington is filled with a lot of homes that have remained trapped in time, which is awesome and fascinating (albeit sometimes frightening). When this young family moved to Bloomington last spring, they saw potential behind the Florida wallpaper of this Eastside ranch, and good bones despite its choppy layout. Wisely, they called SYI and Loren Wood Builders for help bringing it into the two thousand-teens. Two adjacent bathrooms were gutted together and went back up in much better configurations. A half bath and mud-cum-laundry room near the garage went from useful but blah, to an area you don't have to close the door on when guests come over. Walls came down to open up the family, living, kitchen and dining areas, creating a flow of light and function that we all openly envy at SYI. (We do not hide it whatsoever. We all want to live in this happy, bright house. Also the homeowners are amazing cooks, another good reason to want to move in.) Like split-levels and bi-levels, ranches are often easy to open up for the casual and connected spaces we dig so much in middle America this century. Knock down walls; unify flooring; lighten and brighten the space; and voila! a dated midcentury shell becomes a modern family home.

The team at TruKitchens managed this main-level remodel from start to finish. The family always loved the bones and interesting details of this home, but the finishes and functionality in the kitchen were begging for an update. The new layout of the space eliminates the refrigerator wall, moving the appliance to a new location nearer the sink, and opens the space into the dining area. The large hood is removed from the middle of the space and replaced by a BEST downdraft ventilator to accompany the new Thermador induction cooktop. The oven is now relocated on the wall between the living room and kitchen. This same wall now features pass-through shelving that creates a bar space accessible from the living room and kitchen. Finish selections center around creating a clean, modern look and lightening up the space. The Mode slab door style from Grabill Cabinets in their Lioher Zenit Supermatte Blanco finish and Nature Plus Nadir finish is used throughout the space. Crisp white quartz countertops and backsplash keep the space light and bright. Paneled appliances help streamline the entire design.

Example of a trendy kitchen design in San Francisco

John & Jan's kitchen was a small white kitchen that filled about a third of the screen you are looking at. This didn't work for them with the amount of children and grandchildren running around. We named their island the last supper island for the sheer length of it!

Our busy young homeowners were looking to move back to Indianapolis and considered building new, but they fell in love with the great bones of this Coppergate home. The home reflected different times and different lifestyles and had become poorly suited to contemporary living. We worked with Stacy Thompson of Compass Design for the design and finishing touches on this renovation. The makeover included improving the awkwardness of the front entrance into the dining room, lightening up the staircase with new spindles, treads and a brighter color scheme in the hall. New carpet and hardwoods throughout brought an enhanced consistency through the first floor. We were able to take two separate rooms and create one large sunroom with walls of windows and beautiful natural light to abound, with a custom designed fireplace. The downstairs powder received a much-needed makeover incorporating elegant transitional plumbing and lighting fixtures. In addition, we did a complete top-to-bottom makeover of the kitchen, including custom cabinetry, new appliances and plumbing and lighting fixtures. Soft gray tile and modern quartz countertops bring a clean, bright space for this family to enjoy. This delightful home, with its clean spaces and durable surfaces is a textbook example of how to take a solid but dull abode and turn it into a dream home for a young family.
