Bathroom - small rustic 3/4 ceramic tile and brown floor bathroom idea in Other with shaker cabinets, medium tone wood cabinets, beige walls, an undermount sink and granite countertops

These clients had the project underway when they realized they needed some additional help. They had a great start on demo and selections but were at a standstill on what direction they wanted to go and were questioning if what they were gravitating towards really looked good. They had their own contractor, so we skipped the contractor bid phase and went straight into design development. We came in and confirmed some choices and proposed some new ones. Even though it was at a smaller capacity than most clients, we helped their lake home en suite come to life and saved the a lot of money at the same time! Photographer- Chris Holden Photos

After falling in love with a home but unfortunately losing the bid to buy it, these homeowners approached Braen Supply for a solution. Braen Supply found a way to replicate the original home these individuals were hoping to buy, with the exact stone that was used. By building a replica on a different property, these homeowners truly got their dream home. The Fieldstone Veneer Blend that was used on the home was able to make it stand out with a unique look. The rest of the materials that were used worked perfectly to compliment the various features of the home. With the addition of the outdoor kitchen and pool, a perfect place to unwind was created.

This project was a full gut out, development project of a two bedroom two bathroom condo. The remodel was to respect a specific budget and timeline and we were entrusted with the entire design and execution of the project. All custom cabinetry made by MDRN Remodeling Company, lime wash paint accent wall details white oak flooring and shelving details and glass railings gave this property multiple above asking bids upon sale. New owners have reached out to congratulate us of our success in delivering a beautiful home for their family and asked for some additional custom closet features

Here's what our client had to say about this project which is taken from our review page: All Square has completed Phase 1 of an expected 3 phase whole house renovation of our lake home, and we are beyond thrilled with the results. We were demanding clients – my husband is an engineer by education and a program manager by profession, so he is very detailed, exacting and demanding. We solicited bids from 3 other general contractors before engaging All Square, but Micah Purvis won our confidence that he and his team could make our dream a reality. Micah is a master communicator, clear, detailed and pro-active in his approach to problems. We were very happy with all the All Square employees who worked on our job – Daniel and Austin were great and a pleasure to have around – but most especially Justin Solomon, truly a jack of all trades. If there is something Justin can’t do or a skill he doesn’t possess, we aren’t aware of it. Justin was as reliable as the sun, here first thing every morning, troubleshooting problems, dealing with all the sub-contractors and making invaluable structural and design suggestions that made the finished product all the better. I honestly miss having Justin around and our dogs miss him too! It is obvious that All Square has worked hard to identify and nurture relationships with quality tradesmen and a few of them really stand out for their superior work – Mike (stonemason), Jeremiah Cook (painter) and Michael Stewart (electrician). When we are ready to begin Phase 2 of the renovation, there is no doubt that we will call Micah and All Square to do the work. We are so happy with our renovation and grateful that we made the right decision to entrust our forever home to All Square.

Kim Roberts, owner of Staging Beautifully, has a passion for creating beautiful spaces. From home staging to redecorating, Kim’s relaxed and friendly approach make even the most challenging project fun and enjoyable. For those interested in refreshing their space, Staging Beautifully can assist a homeowner in decorating their home with the items they already own and love. Like staging, redesign may include color selection, rearranging furniture, hanging art and placing accessories. It is a cost effective design alternative which will give your home a facelift without the cost of an Interior Designer. Utilizing your furnishings and treasures, we will shop your home to find new and creative ways to display your family’s possessions. This will result in a complete interior transformation which will reflect your personality, style, comfort and functionality to your living space without having to buy anything. Looking to sell your home, consider home staging to target a higher selling price. Home Staging aims to de-personalize your home and make it appealing to virtually all prospective buyers. The way you live in your home and the way you market your home are two very different things. Your home is competing with every other home on the market. A home that looks like it needs work or isn't move-in ready prompts buyers to low-ball their offers, or eliminate your home from consideration all together. Those homes that are staged to reflect current trends attract and appeal to more buyers, resulting in more offers, faster sales, and higher sale prices. Sometimes, an agent may even recommend your price be increased once your home is staged! A well-staged home can even start a bidding war with multiple offers!

Embark on a transformative journey with our open floor remodeling project, where the confines of separate spaces give way to a harmonious, spacious haven. Two walls vanish, merging a cramped kitchen, dining room, living room, and breakfast nook into a unified expanse. Revel in the brilliance of natural light streaming through new windows, dancing upon fresh flooring. Illuminate your culinary adventures with modern lighting, complementing sleek cabinets, countertops, and glass subway tiles. Functionality takes the spotlight – bid farewell to inaccessible doors, welcoming a wealth of drawers and pullouts. The living room undergoes a metamorphosis; witness the rebirth of the fireplace. The dated brick facade yields to textured three-dimensional tiles, evoking contemporary elegance. The mantel vanishes, leaving a canvas of modern design. This remodel crafts a haven where openness meets functionality, and each detail weaves a narrative of sophistication and comfort.

This project took us a bit off our usual path—and we loved the challenge. It began as a straightforward bid to re-side a local HOA’s swimming pool patio using Hardie stucco panels. But as the scope expanded, so did our role. We were tapped to completely rebuild their bathrooms to meet ADA compliance standards. With no air conditioning in the space, we chose materials built to perform: Hardie stucco sheet paired with Sherwin Williams Rain Refresh Paint throughout. It was a project outside our typical scope, but thanks to our versatile and skilled team, we delivered results that exceeded expectations. Got a unique project in mind? Let’s talk about how our team can bring your vision to life—no matter how outside the box it may be.

Sunday July 19, 3:00 to 4:30pm | Falls Village Pittman Residence by Designed by A.E. Bye, Dialogue led by Kimberly Mercurio of Kimberly Mercurio Landscape Architecture Designed by twentieth-century landscape architect A.E. Bye, the Pittman Residence in Falls Village, Connecticut features an artistic landscape design both inspired by and accentuating the area’s natural ecological character. Embodying the architect’s own creative aesthetic, the property incorporates various undulating landforms that draw on the presence of natural shadows to create a memorable landscape that lingers in the minds of visitors long after they bid the property ado. This season, join landscape architect and scholar Kimberly Mercurio as she leads an engaging dialogue on the design history of the Pittman Residence and the significance of Bye’s play on shadows in landscape architecture. With her immense knowledge of A.E. Bye’s work, having recently completed the A.E. Bye/Landscape Architecture Archives Research Fellowship at Penn State University and received a grant from Dumbarton Oaks to further study and document his achievements, Mercurio’s presentation promises to be both educational and inspiring.

Confident in their desire to bid farewell to a rarely used formal dining room, these homeowners let us design and build a large and highly functional kitchen using the space previously occupied by the formal dining room and kitchen. Careful consideration was taken to blend the new space with the old. The outcome is an eat-in kitchen with rich wood and high end elements that make entertaining and every day dining a pleasure for this family. Photography by Jake Boyd Photo
