Living room - transitional living room idea in Austin

"When we bought our house in Poway 11 years ago, we were so happy with our huge master bath and Jacuzzi tub. It was such a huge step-up from our prior home. But just like the rest of the house, the master bath was already almost 20 years old and getting out dated and in need of remodeling. We broke up our remodeling projects into every couple of years, doing what we could ourselves and hiring out for the rest. The master bath was the last project and much too big for us to do on our own. We got 3 quotes from 3 contractors listed on Angie’s list which all had good reviews. One was a major re modeler and the other two were smaller contractors. We ended up going with TaylorPro because he was right in the middle and had great reviews. Kerry was very responsive getting us a timely estimate and had great suggestions for what we were looking for. From the start to finish it turned out to be a wonderful experience! To our delight, they were able to get started ahead of what we were told. Everything went almost as scheduled and we were informed constantly on where we were in the project. Kerry was very responsive to all our concerns or requests and we were never left wondering what the next step would be. His crew was wonderful, so polite and hard working. They were very professional, on time, considerate and knew exactly what they were doing. There were certain things we were really looking for in the remodel. First off, the bathroom was pretty large with a high ceiling. In the winter months, it was always really cold and hard to heat. To solve that we had TaylorPro install heated flooring beneath the travertine tiles. We also needed a custom vanity that would conceal hair appliances, most of our personal toiletries and have enough storage for everything else. The cabinetry was custom designed to exactly what we were looking for. Lastly, we wanted a classic, timeless look using tumbled travertine. After consulting with his designer we were able to select all the tile, accent tile and a beautiful frameless glass shower enclosure. The finished project was beyond our highest expectations and we won’t hesitate to use Kerry and his crew for any future jobs or recommend him to family and friends." ~ Mark and Amy B, Clients Frameless shower door, glass tile with rope border, dark and light travertine tiles on walls, travertine on floor, heated floor by NuHeat, tub and sinks by Kohler, shower/tub/vanity fixtures Hansgrohe, toilet Toto, custom cabinets by Thead Custom Cabinetry.

FENCE STAINING & GATE REPAIR — HANDYMAN KATY TO RICHMOND, TX (77407) Client: Kurt Location: Richmond, TX 77407 Scope of Work: Pressure washing and staining a fence section, plus shoring up a sagging gate Fence maintenance is the kind of job that gets put off until the HOA letter shows up. Kurt stayed ahead of it. Victor and Manuel arrived on time and started by pressure washing the section to strip off dirt, mildew, and surface buildup. Once it dried out properly, they applied a coat of exterior wood fence stain in the color Kurt supplied for HOA compliance. Prep is most of the work on a staining job. Stain going over a dirty or damp board is stain that peels in a year. While they were out there, they also shored up a sagging gate so it swings and latches right again. Start to finish, two hours. Kurt, thank you for having our Katy handyman crew out and for keeping an eye on the small maintenance stuff before it turns into a big repair. And thank you for the 5-star review! Glad Victor and Manuel took care of you. Fence looking tired in Katy or Richmond? Text a handyman a photo and we’ll respond same day. #HandymanKaty #KatyHandyman #FenceStaining

Our recent customer in Frisco already had a great outdoor living space, but after years of enjoying it...a few areas were definitely ready for an update. Instead of starting over, we focused on refreshing the features that mattered most. The outdoor kitchen received all new grilling equipment, which meant modifying the existing grill cutouts and updating portions of the luederstone to make sure everything fit perfectly. The result is a cleaner, more functional cooking space that's ready for the next backyard gathering! Additionally, we gave the patio a refreshed new look by installing beautiful tumbled travertine tile, adding warmth, character and a timeless feel to the patio itself. We replaced the rotting wood at the bottom of several patio cover posts, helping restore the structure's appearance and longevity. Sometimes the best patio transformations aren't complete makeovers...they're thoughtful upgrades that make an already-loved space feel fresh, updated and ready for years of enjoyment ahead!

Inquire About Our Design Services What we did: I started with color. With the current state of the room covered in red I knew they were so over it. Carol requesting warmth in their home so I had to do it with adding textiles while using a cooler color palette. Upon digging deeper I realized that both Carol and John were exactly 2 opposites of the style spectrum. Carol loved the beach she loved anything Cape Cod she liked the grays the beiges the neutrals while John had a more modern condo bachelor city style to him. The toughest part was finding the furniture style balance that complemented both of them, so that they can live in this house comfortably and enjoy forever. Here are the highlights of the rest of the project: Came up with a spacial plan, color, and fabric scheme that worked for where the couple is today. Used seating groupings to break up a otherwise large room Reused a couple pieces of furniture and accessories. Selected all furnishings, accessories, and art. Customized an entertainment piece that has since kept John in the living room and out of the basement. What I love: They gave me the go ahead to mix up styles, all while keeping the palette fresh and clean. Those damn rugs. I have since ordered 1 for my own home The art on the fireplace. We were able to go BIG and dramatic since we had the ceiling height Marcel Page Photography

When asked to renovate an existing pseudo-Mediterranean home located directly on the ocean, the owner had one main request; to open up the views towards the ocean. Architecturally, it was important to respect the character of the existing house but larger openings would evidently alter the appearance of the house. Therefore, the design approach became one of reduction, rather than addition. Using order, proportion and more subdued color tones drawn from a limited material palette, the house naturally started to appear more sophisticated. On the exterior, a theater style stair leads you from an exterior loggia to the pool deck all the while never taking the focus of your attention away from the serenity of the ocean ahead. The procession of spaces from exterior, covered trellis, covered loggia, interior and vice versa became the driving force behind the spatial experience of the home and its relationship to its beach-front context.

Inspiration for an eclectic patio remodel in Los Angeles

This newly built custom residence turned out to be spectacular. With Interiors by Popov’s magic touch, it has become a real family home that is comfortable for the grownups, safe for the kids and friendly to the little dogs that now occupy this space.The start of construction was a bumpy road for the homeowners. After the house was framed, our clients found themselves paralyzed with the million and one decisions that had to be made. Decisions about plumbing, electrical, millwork, hardware and exterior left them drained and overwhelmed. The couple needed help. It was at this point that they were referred to us by a friend.We immediately went about systematizing the selection and design process, which allowed us to streamline decision making and stay ahead of construction. We designed every detail in this house. And when I say every detail, I mean it. We designed lighting, plumbing, millwork, hard surfaces, exterior, kitchen, bathrooms, fireplace and so much more. After the construction-related items were addressed, we moved to furniture, rugs, lamps, art, accessories, bedding and so on. The result of our systematic approach and design vision was a client head over heels in love with their new home. The positive feedback we received from this homeowner was immensely gratifying. They said the only thing that they regret was not hiring Interiors by Popov sooner!
