The master suite is also located on this level. Two additional bedroom suites and a bunk room can be found on the upper level.

  Download our free ebook, Creating the Ideal Kitchen. DOWNLOAD NOW   The homeowners came to us looking to update the kitchen in their historic 1897 home. The home had gone through an extensive renovation several years earlier that added a master bedroom suite and updates to the front façade. The kitchen however was not part of that update and a prior 1990’s update had left much to be desired. The client is an avid cook, and it was just not very functional for the family. The original kitchen was very choppy and included a large eat in area that took up more than its fair share of the space. On the wish list was a place where the family could comfortably congregate, that was easy and to cook in, that feels lived in and in check with the rest of the home’s décor. They also wanted a space that was not cluttered and dark – a happy, light and airy room. A small powder room off the space also needed some attention so we set out to include that in the remodel as well. See that arch in the neighboring dining room? The homeowner really wanted to make the opening to the dining room an arch to match, so we incorporated that into the design. Another unfortunate eyesore was the state of the ceiling and soffits. Turns out it was just a series of shortcuts from the prior renovation, and we were surprised and delighted that we were easily able to flatten out almost the entire ceiling with a couple of little reworks. Other changes we made were to add new windows that were appropriate to the new design, which included moving the sink window over slightly to give the work zone more breathing room. We also adjusted the height of the windows in what was previously the eat-in area that were too low for a countertop to work. We tried to keep an old island in the plan since it was a well-loved vintage find, but the tradeoff for the function of the new island was not worth it in the end. We hope the old found a new home, perhaps as a potting table.

This narrow entry area was 10' tall and needed some interest added to it, as well as a way to make it inviting. A painted tin ceiling was installed to add visual and architectural interest above the 9' high perimeter shelving. In lieu of a closet, an armoire was placed in the space that was converted to hang coats & store boots. A cork board and bulletin board, as well as a key hanger and chalk board were added along with a digital thermometer to crearte a message center for the entire family.

We are proud to announce that another satisfied customer has had their home transformed with new Pearl Gray James Hardie siding, replacing the previous wood siding. Due to the garage's upfront placement, they chose to use board and batten siding on the garage to differentiate it from the house. This traditional technique involves wide boards with narrow battens covering the seams to create a rustic and textured look. Check out their testimonial here: www.tinyurl.com/PearlGreyBB

we needed to play with a 7' ceiling long and narrow kitchen with three openings and a strong requirement for an island! as if that was not enough, electrical board was right next to the est window and forced us to keep 30" clearence from every direction. it was not boring, but the resyt is stunning !!!
