Initially designed as a bachelor's Sonoma weekend getaway, The Fan House features glass and steel garage-style doors that take advantage of the verdant 40-acre hilltop property. With the addition of a wife and children, the secondary residence's interiors needed to change. Ann Lowengart Interiors created a family-friendly environment while adhering to the homeowner's preference for streamlined silhouettes. In the open living-dining room, a neutral color palette and contemporary furnishings showcase the modern architecture and stunning views. A separate guest house provides a respite for visiting urban dwellers.

Repeat clients of Mountainwood Homes traded their rural property for a downtown Camas, Washington charmer to enjoy a walkable lifestyle while their children finish high school. They bought an original, 1954 midcentury modern home intending to remodel it as a transitional family space before college. The whole house renovation balances modern living with respect for the original architectural character, blending contemporary finishes and functional upgrades to preserve its midcentury charm.

Aiming to add more character to the side of the house, a large bay window was added to the children's room, with bold metal siding highlighting it as a major architectural feature.

Extensive work was required on this property to deal with both the poor existing condition as well as to expand the livability of the interior and enhance the exterior appearance. The new open kitchen and informal eating area provide great natural light and extensive views to the rear yard and outdoor entertainment space. The scope of the work also included the addition of a new bedroom, new master bedroom suite (formerly a maid's quarters), children's play area, and expanded garage.

Double sinks, a large open vanity, and classic white subway tile in 3x6's make the kid's bathroom bright and functional. Again, the homeowner chose gray grout for aesthetic and practical reasons. Modern farmhouse touches continue throughout this room tying it to the rest of the house.

The kids bathroom was part of the addition along with two children's bedrooms on the 2nd floor. The black and white patterned flooring sets the tone, with a bold green tile in the bathtub/shower combination. A fun geometric black tile was used above each vanity, giving each child their own area. A veined gray quartz was used for the countertops and black matte fixtures compliments the look.

The second-floor hallway was too narrow to incorporate a traditional railing, so a custom stainless steel railing was fabricated to allow enough space and bridge the modern with the traditional style. When the second floor was removed, the newel post was the tallest point of the house, now painted a celebratory red. The children's bath (on the right) was given an old-style sink and ceramic tile to make it feel more traditional. The orange paint is keeping with the citrus colors throughout the home.

This colorful Contemporary design / build project started as an Addition but included new cork flooring and painting throughout the home. The Kitchen also included the creation of a new pantry closet with wire shelving and the Family Room was converted into a beautiful Library with space for the whole family. The homeowner has a passion for picking paint colors and enjoyed selecting the colors for each room. The home is now a bright mix of modern trends such as the barn doors and chalkboard surfaces contrasted by classic LA touches such as the detail surrounding the Living Room fireplace. The Master Bedroom is now a Master Suite complete with high-ceilings making the room feel larger and airy. Perfect for warm Southern California weather! Speaking of the outdoors, the sliding doors to the green backyard ensure that this white room still feels as colorful as the rest of the home. The Master Bathroom features bamboo cabinetry with his and hers sinks. The light blue walls make the blue and white floor really pop. The shower offers the homeowners a bench and niche for comfort and sliding glass doors and subway tile for style. The Library / Family Room features custom built-in bookcases, barn door and a window seat; a readers dream! The Children’s Room and Dining Room both received new paint and flooring as part of their makeover. However the Children’s Bedroom also received a new closet and reading nook. The fireplace in the Living Room was made more stylish by painting it to match the walls – one of the only white spaces in the home! However the deep blue accent wall with floating shelves ensure that guests are prepared to see serious pops of color throughout the rest of the home.

Location: Albuquerque, NM, USA The space was dated - now it has a fresh new look! The dining room was updated with a new cornice and lighting. In addition, a narrow 12" deep cabinet (made for kitchen upper cabinets) was effectively used - with a faux granite laminate top. The cabinets help with much needed storage and as a server. Their children's art was framed and proudly hangs for all to enjoy. Designed by Sandy Schargel Interiors

The convenient grill deck is located right off the screened porch. We finished this area using all low-maintenance materials including TimberTech Pro Legacy decking and black aluminum balusters. The Legacy collection is capped on all four sides, even down to the grooves. This provides total immunity against moisture, which is a plus in this low-to-grade deck design. Archadeck of Birmingham even installed a deck gate as part of the deck design. When our clients have pets and/or small children that utilize a deck space, we often recommend the addition of a gate for safety, security and peace of mind.

Project 3362-1 NE Minneapolis Traditional Kitchen Refresh - Castle Building & Remodeling, Inc. Twin Cities MN 55418 This project was a unique kitchen refresh project. The original Northeast Minneapolis home was built in 1920, and sometime in the 90’s an addition with a remodeled kitchen was completed. While the current homeowners appreciated the size and general layout of the kitchen, they wanted a more open floor plan to the dining room and to add some additional storage within the existing kitchen space. An old desk area was not useful for them, so that was removed and the fridge was moved to that area. New cabinets were added in the corner for some additional storage space for the homeowner’s baking goods and was set up as a coffee area. Where the old fridge once stood, the wall was opened up to create a new, wider opening to the dining room with a new peninsula for their kids and guests to sit. With some challenges in finding significant plumbing and HVAC in the wall being opened, the end result is a little different than originally planned – but that is the story of remodeling! All the original oak and new, matched oak cabinets were stained darker on the bottom, and painted white on the top. New Cambria countertops add a classic touch to the space, and the homeowners did a fantastic job of installing their own tile backsplash and Adura luxury vinyl flooring. They now have a more classic yet eclectic space to entertain their guests (and children) in for years to come.

A mother and father of three children, these hard-working parents expressed their remodeling objectives: •A clearly-defined master suite consisting of bathroom, walk-in closet and bedroom. •The bathroom should be large enough for an additional shower, a tub, two sinks instead of one, and storage for towels and paper items. •Their dream feature for the walk-in closet was an island to use as a place for shoe

The upstairs living room features the stylish Nora Sofa and Nora Chair, both new additions to Furniture Row. These pieces offer a fresh take on contemporary design, providing a perfect starting point for the room. To complement the modern aesthetic, occasional pieces with rustic influences were incorporated. The Theodore TV Stand, Theodore Sofa Table, and Theodore Round End Table, with their planked tops and natural brown finish, bring a touch of rustic charm to the space. The design is rounded out with the versatile Square Storage Ottoman, accompanied by accents and decor such as the Madelyn Table Lamp. This blend of contemporary and rustic elements creates a warm, inviting atmosphere in the upstairs living room.

This 1990s brick home had decent square footage and a massive front yard, but no way to enjoy it. Each room needed an update, so the entire house was renovated and remodeled, and an addition was put on over the existing garage to create a symmetrical front. The old brown brick was painted a distressed white. The 500sf 2nd floor addition includes 2 new bedrooms for their teen children, and the 12'x30' front porch lanai with standing seam metal roof is a nod to the homeowners' love for the Islands. Each room is beautifully appointed with large windows, wood floors, white walls, white bead board ceilings, glass doors and knobs, and interior wood details reminiscent of Hawaiian plantation architecture. The kitchen was remodeled to increase width and flow, and a new laundry / mudroom was added in the back of the existing garage. The master bath was completely remodeled. Every room is filled with books, and shelves, many made by the homeowner. Project photography by Kmiecik Imagery.
