Farmhouse exterior home idea in New York

This renovation and addition project, located in Bloomfield Hills, was completed in 2016. A master suite, located on the second floor and overlooking the backyard, was created that featured a his and hers bathroom, staging rooms, separate walk-in-closets, and a vaulted skylight in the hallways. The kitchen was stripped down and opened up to allow for gathering and prep work. Fully-custom cabinetry and a statement range help this room feel one-of-a-kind. To allow for family activities, an indoor gymnasium was created that can be used for basketball, soccer, and indoor hockey. An outdoor oasis was also designed that features an in-ground pool, outdoor trellis, BBQ area, see-through fireplace, and pool house. Unique colonial traits were accentuated in the design by the addition of an exterior colonnade, brick patterning, and trim work. The renovation and addition had to match the unique character of the existing house, so great care was taken to match every detail to ensure a seamless transition from old to new.

This home is designed around a ranch vernacular where the rooms are socially segregated by activity. Originally an outdated home in a fantastic neighborhood, the owners wanted to add space and hierarchy. Quiet on one side of the relocated entry, active on the other the home is able to create a blur of social spaces.

This white on white kitchen design is transitional and incorporates beautiful clean lines. This kitchen features a latte colored Kitchen Island by Dura Supreme and a mix of light tan (latte) and orange décor. These colors really pop on the “white canvas” of this design. The designer chose a beautiful combination of white Dura Supreme cabinetry, white subway tile backsplash, white countertops, white trim and a white sink. The built-in breakfast nook attached to the kitchen island was the perfect choice to give this kitchen seating for entertaining and a kitchen island that will still have free counter space while the homeowner entertains.

Chicago home remodel with childrens playroom. The original lower level had all the amenities an adult family would want but lacked a space for young children. A large playroom was created below the sun room and outdoor terrace. The lower level provides ample play space for both the kids and adults. All cabinetry was crafted in-house at our cabinet shop.

Traditional exterior home idea in Minneapolis

This bedroom and full bathroom are part of an adventuresome project my wife and I embarked upon to create a complete apartment in the basement of our townhouse. We designed a floor plan that creatively and efficiently used all of the 385-square-foot-space, without sacrificing beauty, comfort or function – and all without breaking the bank! To maximize our budget, we did the work ourselves and added everything from thrift store finds to DIY wall art to bring it all together. A partial double closet bar adds a little extra space while still leaving room for longer hanging clothes.
