Enclosed dining room - mid-sized contemporary light wood floor and brown floor enclosed dining room idea in DC Metro with white walls and no fireplace

We converted a dark and non-functional kitchen closet into a mood boosting coffee bar, complete with a copper hammered bar sink, open shelving, and a beautiful mercury glass bell lantern.

This client in the South Bay wanted to beautify their home, boost curb appeal, and conserve water by replacing their front lawn with drought tolerant landscaping. The landscape that we designed andn installed qualified for a rebate through the Santa Clara Valley Water District Landscape Rebate Program. "This program is designed to encourage residents and businesses to convert approved high-water use landscape, such as lawns and pools, to low-water use landscape, as well as to retrofit existing irrigation equipment with approved high-efficiency irrigation equipment."

Full-length continuous built-in cabinetry along the hallway. Light cream cabinet panels with slim dark handles maximize hidden storage, maintaining tidy visuals while boosting the home’s storage capacity.

This Houston kitchen remodel turned an outdated bachelor pad into a contemporary dream fit for newlyweds. The client wanted a contemporary, somewhat commercial look, but also something homey with a comfy, family feel. And they couldn't go too contemporary, since the style of the home is so traditional. The clean, contemporary, white-black-and-grey color scheme is just the beginning of this transformation from the previous kitchen, The revamped 20-by-15-foot kitchen and adjoining dining area also features new stainless steel appliances by Maytag, lighting and furnishings by Restoration Hardware and countertops in white Carrara marble and Absolute Black honed granite. The paneled oak cabinets are now painted a crisp, bright white and finished off with polished nickel pulls. The center island is now a cool grey a few shades darker than the warm grey on the walls. On top of the grey on the new sheetrock, previously covered in a camel-colored textured paint, is Sherwin Williams' Faux Impressions sparkly "Striae Quartz Stone." Ho-hum 12-inch ceramic floor tiles with a western motif border have been replaced with grey tile "planks" resembling distressed wood. An oak-paneled flush-mount light fixture has given way to recessed lights and barn pendant lamps in oil rubbed bronze from Restoration Hardware. And the section housing clunky upper and lower banks of cabinets between the kitchen an dining area now has a sleek counter-turned-table with custom-milled legs. At first, the client wanted to open up that section altogether, but then realized they needed more counter space. The table - a continuation of the granite countertop - was the perfect solution. Plus, it offered space for extra seating. The black, high-back and low-back bar stools are also from Restoration Hardware - as is the new round chandelier and the dining table over which it hangs. Outdoor Homescapes of Houston also took out a wall between the kitchen and living room and remodeled the adjoining living room as well. A decorative cedar beam stained Minwax Jacobean now spans the ceiling where the wall once stood. The oak paneling and stairway railings in the living room, meanwhile, also got a coat of white paint and new window treatments and light fixtures from Restoration Hardware. Staining the top handrailing with the same Jacobean dark stain, however, boosted the new contemporary look even more. The outdoor living space also got a revamp, with a new patio ceiling also stained Jacobean and new outdoor furniture and outdoor area rug from Restoration Hardware. The furniture is from the Klismos collection, in weathered zinc, with Sunbrella fabric in the color "Smoke."

White Kitchen Cabinets: Timeless Elegance for Modern Homes White kitchen cabinets are more than just a design choice; they're a testament to timeless elegance and adaptability in the heart of any home. As homeowners continue to seek spaces that feel airy, clean, and spacious, white cabinets have emerged as a top choice for both modern and traditional kitchens alike. Why Choose White Kitchen Cabinets? Versatility: The neutral hue of white allows these cabinets to blend seamlessly with any color palette or kitchen design. Whether you're aiming for a sleek modern look or a cozy cottage vibe, white cabinets can be the perfect canvas to achieve your desired aesthetic. Brightness and Space: White reflects light beautifully, making your kitchen appear larger and more open. It's especially beneficial for smaller spaces, where creating an illusion of a more expansive area is crucial. Timeless Appeal: While trends come and go, white has an enduring appeal. It exudes a sense of cleanliness and simplicity, making it a long-lasting choice for homeowners. Resale Value: If you ever consider selling your home, white kitchen cabinets can boost your property's appeal to potential buyers, ensuring that your kitchen remains stylish and up-to-date.

The clients were deeply attached to their existing home and its prime location, but they needed more space. The goal was to expand while preserving the character of the historical house and enhancing the ocean views. This extensive renovation modernized the space, improved its flow, and seamlessly integrated a new addition. To boost energy efficiency, we upgraded insulation throughout and replaced all windows. Inside, we refreshed the interiors with white oak ceiling beams that added warmth and delineated spaces within the open floor plan. The main stair was transformed into a striking modern feature, featuring a steel center stringer and glass rails. This design choice maintains transparency, keeping the kitchen connected to the other areas on the first floor while elevating the overall aesthetic.

Plenty of options allow you to customize this home to your family’s desires.

Tub window alcove reframed to gain 6" per side of floor space. LED lighting vanity lighting added to lower energy requirements and boost overall lighting. Vanities were unchanged.

This once closed off kitchen was opened up by removing part of one wall and relocating the stove to the opposite side. A large waterfall edge countertop now resides where the wall used to be, now providing more prep area and in-room seating. Additional cabinetry was added on both sides of the kitchen to solve the original issue of lacking storage space. The shiplap hood boosts the farmhouse feel and the white color palette brightens up the room.

Standard Sealcoating recently completed a comprehensive driveway sealcoating project in Oxford, Massachusetts, which included essential crack filling and repair services. In Oxford, our process began with a meticulous assessment of the driveway's condition, pinpointing and addressing any cracks or imperfections that could undermine its structural integrity. Our expert team skillfully filled and repaired these cracks, ensuring a smooth and uniform surface. Following the repair work, we applied a premium sealcoat to the entire driveway, resulting in a rich, jet-black finish. This process not only enhanced the driveway's aesthetic appeal but also provided a durable protective layer against the elements. The result was a beautifully restored and fortified driveway in Oxford, significantly boosting the curb appeal and longevity of the homeowner's property.

This project by Stoneridge Decks and Outdoor Living created a complete backyard transformation with a stunning deck and patio ?. Before, the bottom doors opened straight to grass. No deck or patio meant dirt tracked inside, no clean place to sit, and no real way to enjoy the yard. Now, a beautiful new composite deck features durable Trex Enhance surface in rich gray tones. It includes crisp white Trex Select composite railing for safety and style. Below, a spacious curved paver patio in shaded gray Belgard Jefferson pavers sits right outside the doors. It offers easy access and a solid, low-maintenance surface. The design adds valuable outdoor living space for relaxing, entertaining, and making the most of your backyard. We specialize in custom Trex composite decks, Belgard paver patios, and full outdoor upgrades that boost your home's beauty and function. Ready for your own deck and patio?

This South Shore of Boston client approached the team of Renovisions to remodel her existing basement bathroom. This bath, with an outdated fiberglass shower stall was cracked and leaking into the concrete floor below. The room had inadequate storage, was dark and did not boost this home’s overall market value. It was definitely time for a Renovision and the client was excited to get started! She was looking forward to sharing the new space with guests that stay at her home and use the bathroom often. Working alongside this client was fun and productive as great design and product choices were selected together. In the design process, Renovisions presented a unique idea; using the basement foundation ledge for a shelf that ran into the shower area, gaining extra space for shampoos and soaps, eliminating the need for a niche. Another great idea was to implement a Grohe Smart Control valve which brings this shower experience to another level; they can choose ways to spray with the right degree of warmth. The stunning stream-lined shower trims in brushed nickel finish match the style and finish on the single-lever vanity faucet. The contrasting dark grey, large format porcelain floor tile’s texture resembles a linen-look pattern the client requested while complimenting the darker veining in the quartz curb, shelf and vanity countertop. The Carrera-look porcelain shower wall tiles boast no-maintenance and provides a clean, brighter appeal seen through the beautiful custom shower glass enclosure. We lightened up the bath with a light blue paint color which added a fresh look, giving the illusion of a bigger space. As you can see, with the right colors, textures and accessories, we transformed this basement bath from Drab to Fab. The client was thrilled with her basement Renovision, a true Breath of Fresh Flair’!
