The formal dining room is open both to the kitchen and outdoor living.
Inspiration for a large contemporary light wood floor kitchen/dining room combo remodel in Seattle with white walls

When designing and installing this bathroom, dRemodeling went to no expensive to give the bathroom only the highest of quality and consistency. In this instance, the tiling of the backsplash didn't need to be placed within the two doorways and trim. However, the continuation of the tiling to the designer integral to the effect of the enveloping backsplash, and therefore, giving careful consideration and time when designing, and installing.

Cleft Painting has consulted with this Sammamish client to coordinate colors in line with their design vision and then executed a precise and gorgeous finished project. The clean lines and careful consideration of how best to highlight each space make this project a favorite.

This project was full outdoor living environment, what some would call a “staycation” backyard. A hybrid pool had been installed the previous year but now the living and entertaining spaces needed to be constructed. Consisting of a deck, two patio spaces with walkways connecting all, a couple retaining walls, fencing, landscaping and a new sliding door. The retaining walls were needed to allow for the patio space around to pool. The patio space was divided into two sections, one the wet zone by the pool and the second being the handout zone. This also allowed for a smaller area of fence with a clean transition. The deck constructed using Azek building products provided the style they wanted without having to worry about maintenance. With the elevation being over 8 feet off the ground, the staircase was given careful consideration. It was put on the side that had the grade in its favor to cut down on the size and to not impede on the usable living areas. Traffic flow and usable space should always be considered when designing your space. Now to get a better view of their beautiful backyard we changed their existing single 3 ft. hinged door for a new 6 ft sliding unit. This type of change does involve some structural modification but well worth it. It gave them the sight line they wanted, allows more natural light and has less impact on the living space as the door now slides. We had a great time constructing this space and love knowing they will be enjoying their home life with family and friends. What could we build in your backyard?

This outdoor TV will hold up to the elements and is connected to the home's video distribution system allowing the clients to view any of their video content from the patio or adjacent pool.

This young family began working with us after struggling with their previous contractor. They were over budget and not achieving what they really needed with the addition they were proposing. Rather than extend the existing footprint of their house as had been suggested, we proposed completely changing the orientation of their separate kitchen, living room, dining room, and sunroom and opening it all up to an open floor plan. By changing the configuration of doors and windows to better suit the new layout and sight lines, we were able to improve the views of their beautiful backyard and increase the natural light allowed into the spaces. We raised the floor in the sunroom to allow for a level cohesive floor throughout the areas. Their extended kitchen now has a nice sitting area within the kitchen to allow for conversation with friends and family during meal prep and entertaining. The sitting area opens to a full dining room with built in buffet and hutch that functions as a serving station. Conscious thought was given that all “permanent” selections such as cabinetry and countertops were designed to suit the masses, with a splash of this homeowner’s individual style in the double herringbone soft gray tile of the backsplash, the mitred edge of the island countertop, and the mixture of metals in the plumbing and lighting fixtures. Careful consideration was given to the function of each cabinet and organization and storage was maximized. This family is now able to entertain their extended family with seating for 18 and not only enjoy entertaining in a space that feels open and inviting, but also enjoy sitting down as a family for the simple pleasure of supper together.

We focused on creating a nurturing space that would help the family and their guests unwind and heal from the stress of everyday life. An eclectic mix of wood finishes and tones, metals and neutral color palettes create a strong connection to the natural lakeside environment right outside the home. In the kitchen, we brought in the blend of natural and manmade materials for an earthy but contemporary space. The kitchen island features a large piece of beautiful natural wood topped with a white waterfall countertop. Glass-backed upper kitchen cabinets playfully reveal the one-of-a-kind mirrored backsplash. Our focus was on creating a home that would inspire and heal anyone who enters it, both the family enjoying their vacations and the people invited there for retreats. Through careful consideration of materials and the purpose of this home, we revealed a nurturing and peaceful atmosphere that would refocus people’s awareness to the exquisite natural surroundings.

This stunning Landmark status home was abandoned for many years. After a complete renovation, the landscaping was needed. Careful consideration of plant types that were more suited to an older home were chosen.

The main goals of this project was to make it more usable and enjoyable for the owner, to reduce maintenance and to created a covered area for enjoyment year-round. This design also kept the family's new puppy in mind - fencing it in for safety and planting with careful consideration of plants that are safe for dogs. The winding pathway for humans is reminiscent of a stream bed and there is also a narrow perimeter fence specifically for the pup! Ben Park

The homeowners came to us looking for assistance to design and build a custom home on their current lakefront property. They were living on the site in an existing small cabin from the 1960s. The property has a steep embankment down to the lake and a zoning setback that created challenges for fitting a custom home on the lot. Xpand worked with the homeowners to find and select the size and style of home that they liked and worked for their unique piece of land. The homeowner was very interested in aesthetics and desired a modern home with sleek low roof lines and lots of windows to take advantage of the lake views. Restrictions from zoning challenged Xpand, but we were able to perfectly fit the home with an angled deck that was within 3” of both the front and back yard setbacks. In addition to a modern aesthetic, the homeowners are hoping to stay in the home as they age, so careful consideration was given to making sure that their new home would function for them in the future by including wider doorways, curbless showers, hard surface flooring and single-floor living. This mid-century modern designed home includes a high covered entry, high ceilings, floor-to- ceiling windows and an open floorplan. Overall, this medium-sized home feels spacious yet bright and inviting. Slab on grade platform construction includes highly efficient in-floor hydronic heat that keeps everything consistently warm in the winter. Throughout the interior of the home, the use of clean lines reflects the modern aesthetic desired by the homeowner. The kitchen features flat-panel doors and a large island with a dramatic quartz countertop. The use of black and white tones throughout with bright pops of color and geometric shapes completes the modern look to perfection. Outside, restrictions from zoning challenged Xpand, but we were able to perfectly fit the home with an angled deck that was within 3” of both the front and back yard setbacks. The unique stylistic deck includes airplane cable railings and lifetime warrantied PVC decking on the back of the house.

This is a case study of a client living in Hong Kong. The client's residence is an 80-square-meter home. The client has a preference for a modern minimalist Scandinavian style, with an overall white color scheme complemented by colorful decorations. The client's objective was to select a pendant light for the dining area, specifically in white color, and not too large in size. The client favored small and simple designs. After careful consideration, we recommended the elegant and compact bud-shaped white Macaron pendant light, which is one of the most popular choices for Nordic-style small pendant lights. Given the size of the dining area, we suggested the client purchase two of these pendant lights to achieve better lighting effects. Upon receiving the products, the client expressed their satisfaction, as the pendant lights perfectly matched their requirements. We are delighted to share this case study with everyone, hoping to provide inspiration and ideas for their own home renovations.

This lovely homeowner had a large, unique kitchen she wanted beautifully transformed — while still maintaining the warm wood tones that flow throughout her home. After careful consideration, she selected cabinetry from our Kitchen Solvers Classic Collection in the rich Cashew stain. It took several weeks of thoughtful decision-making to ensure it was the perfect choice — and the result was absolutely worth it. The warm cabinetry brings depth and character while keeping the cohesive feel she loved. She explored several countertop options, and the moment she paired Travella Quartz with her cabinets, she knew she had found the perfect match. The combination created a soft, elegant balance that elevates the entire space. To maintain a seamless look, we incorporated custom panels to fully conceal her Sub-Zero refrigerator. She also designed custom shelving heights to beautifully display her treasured china and favorite kitchen pieces — adding both function and personality to the space. She was an absolute pleasure to work with — thoughtful, detailed, and clear in expressing her vision. The finished kitchen is a complete success, and she is thrilled with the stunning result.
