Expanding outdoor living space has caught on around town. This Waukee homeowner contacted Kaufman Construction to do just that. An expansive porch provides outdoor living in many forms. This one porch incorporates a comfortable seating area, a built-in dining table, as well as a custom bar with a grill and refrigerator, all situated around a large wood-burning fireplace and television. All of these features make the space perfect to host a dinner party, watch a ballgame or movie, or sit and converse with family and friends. Rich stone, granite, natural woods and capped composite decking make the porch a cozy and inviting place to gather. Task and accent lighting were carefully laid out to provide lighting where needed and ambiance that draws you in and provides comfort as you enjoy the great outdoors.

Jim Wirtz’s Woodworks Milwaukee, WI Kitchen $40,000-$80,000 An outdated and poorly designed kitchen was adjacent to an unheated and seldom used enclosed porch. Walls were removed to combine the spaces and the porch area was rebuilt to become part of the kitchen. Custom cabinetry was stained to match existing woodwork. Transom windows and architectural features helped convert the porch into a dinette. The new kitchen is well lit with LED under-counter lighting, hood lighting, vintage scones, and ceiling lights.

Bathroom - transitional bathroom idea in Portland

Brillo Home Improvements Milwaukee, WI Kitchen $40,000-$80,000 The clients wanted an updated space with a more inviting and user-friendly kitchen. Opening the wall between the kitchen and dining room allowed the entire kitchen to be extended. The sink was shifted, so they could see their son playing in the living room while doing dishes. For atmosphere, warm colors were selected for the cabinets, flooring, and backsplash contrasted by granite countertops.

Mukwonago Remodeling Mukwonago, WI Kitchen $40,000-$80,000 The homeowner had a high maintenance, outdated kitchen with an island that was oversized and nonfunctional. In order to make the kitchen larger, a seldom-used bathroom was removed. New solid maple cabinetry was designed and a “Jeka” stained custom cherry wood “L-shaped” island was constructed with an oversized hammered copper farmer’s sink with an oil rubbed bronze gooseneck faucet.

Walls, floors and cabinetry were purposefully kept light to reflect natural light from abundant windows. Site lines were respected to reveal the pool and lake views. Volume ceilings were accentuated by trim details, reverse coffer lighting and metallic painting.

The project began with a 1970's, split-level ranch, on a spectacular hilltop site with a view to Mt. Hood. The house was transformed and updated by expanding the living room, renovating the kitchen and interior surfaces, and adding a second level master bedroom suite it now sits comfortably on the narrow site and takes full advantage of natural light and distant views. Improvements to the site include new terraces, walls and stairs, wrought iron railings and a long, linear reflecting pool. The new entry garden and pool provide a quiet transition from the street to the newly canopied teak entry doors. This residence was undertaken by Jim as project architect with Richard Brown Architects, AIA, LLP.
