The vision was simple yet profound: to seamlessly blend indoor comfort with the refreshing ambiance of the outdoors. And oh, did we deliver! With windows aplenty, our clients can now bask in natural sunlight and savor picturesque views without stepping a foot outside. For this project, we selected nothing but the best. We adorned the sunroom with exquisite Pella Architect Reserve windows, ensuring not just breathtaking vistas but also unparalleled quality and durability. And because comfort is paramount, we installed a state-of-the-art Ditra Heat Radiant floor system with a customizable thermostat, allowing for cozy warmth even on the chilliest of days. But let’s talk about style! The floor, a timeless canvas of classic black and white porcelain tiles, adds a touch of sophistication while effortlessly complementing the existing aesthetic of the home. It’s the perfect backdrop for lazy afternoons with a book or lively gatherings with loved ones.

Bespoke bed and nightstands were designed for the primary bedroom. The bed is fully upholstered and with integrated storage accessed by easily lifting the slots. Fabrics and wood for the nightstands were carefully selected to create a cosy warmth felling while maintaining a minimal style.

Behold this classic kitchen adorned with White Agate-colored, wood-textured Shaker style fronts and gleaming brass handles. The combination exudes timeless elegance while the roller door top cabinet adds a touch of practicality, providing space for freestanding appliances. The result is a space that's both inviting and refined, with its cozy warmth and understated charm. This kitchen harmoniously marries aesthetics with functionality, making it an inviting haven for culinary adventures and gatherings with loved ones.

This design combined the 18th century luxury city dwelling style with some modern tones. The walls were given a yellow shade to bring a cozy warmth into the room. Stenciling was infused on to the walls to bring some subtle details. The chairs were reupholstered and repainted to give a nod to classical furniture but with a modern twist of color. Original dark wood moldings and shelving were maintained but to take away some of the darkness we painted the backing of the shelf the same warm yellow as the walls and introduced lights, so that the client could show case their family heirlooms and travel collections.

About this Project: The home remodeling included a kitchen renovation, second floor space reconfigurations, and first floor addition. The purpose was to expand the existing kitchen and create a casual atmosphere by eliminating the formal appearance and unify the kitchen and family room. The homeowners were looking for a traditional kitchen that could be used for dining, entertaining, doing homework while providing ample storage space and a workstation area for bill paying. Demolition was necessary of the existing kitchen and partial exterior of the back of the house and excavation for the addition. The scope of work included new painted kitchen cabinetry and dramatic Cambria stone countertops, new tigerwood exotic hardwood flooring throughout the first floor, new recessed, hanging & under cabinet lighting, and painting of the first floor. The wall paint ushers in a vibrant yet relaxing feeling to the home. Painting existing trim and moldings throughout the first floor refreshes & updates the home. The hardwood flooring flows from the front door to the back door of the first floor and adds a cozy warmth to the home. The finished result is a stunning, warm, spacious kitchen for family and friends to gather. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Testmonial: "I wanted to let you know once again how thrilled we are with the work J. Francis Company recently completed on our home. When we purchased the house we were not convinced that it could become our "home". However after all the work has now been completed we both easily refer to it as our "Home" and not just a house. Your entire team truly made the project - which is never easy - almost enjoyable (or at least as enjoyable a project can be while living without a kitchen!)! Not only was J. Francis extremely professional with respect to the actual construction (JK was absolutely fantastic!!) and the selection of finishes, but they also provided design ideas which we never envisioned. For example the concept of increasing the size of one of our son's bedrooms by taking space from our other son's bedroom was ingenious and in turn it created two equally sized bedrooms which are loved by each of our boys! All told, I would strongly recommend J. Francis to anyone looking for construction needs (in fact I have already made such a recommendation!)." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Photography © Steven Dietz

The overall goal of this family of six was to achieve a home where they could easily entertain their children’s friends. A sizable living room floor plan with tall ceilings and a 24-foot stacking glass door that opened to the backyard oasis created the ideal space for hosting gatherings of all sizes. The floor-to-ceiling fireplace wasn’t just eye-catching but added a cozy warmth that complemented the crisp white walls and stark lines throughout. Elegant touches included a floating ceiling with cove lighting detail, a travertine clad accent wall, and breathtaking hill country views.
