We brought the essence of a Spanish-style resort right to this Rancho Santa Fe home. Our clients craved a luxurious, low-maintenance space with all the amenities of a high-end retreat, and we delivered. From the drought-tolerant plants and dry riverbed in the front yard to the spacious fire pit and panoramic views in the side yard, every corner exudes relaxation. And of course, a grand pool in the backyard, transforming the space into the ultimate personal retreat for the homeowners.

TROPICAL PARADISE Aaaaaaahhhhhh. Who doesn’t crave something just a little bit tropical? Whether you fancy yourself a beach bunny or a die-hard parrot head, you’ll feel like it’s just another day in paradise when lounging in this gorgeous Adirondack chair. It’s the best seat in (or out of) the house! I FOLD FOR EASY STORAGE AND TRANSPORT!

The client’s current bathroom style did not fit their taste. It was outdated and traditional while they craved a modern oasis. Additionally, they wanted a larger shower with a bench plus another vanity and sink. We gutted the space, removing the outdated fixtures including a non-functioning jacuzzi tub and the shower. We added an additional sink and gave them more storage with modern, floating vanities. We gave the shower a much needed overhaul by increasing the size, adding more glass and a large bench seat. A new air bubble tub was installed with a tile surround to match with the shower.

This lovely Nantucket-style home was craving an update and one that worked well with today's family and lifestyle. The remodel included a full kitchen remodel, a reworking of the back entrance to include the conversion of a tuck-under garage stall into a rec room and full bath, a lower level mudroom equipped with a dog wash and a dumbwaiter to transport heavy groceries to the kitchen, an upper-level mudroom with enclosed lockers, which is off the powder room and laundry room, and finally, a remodel of one of the upper-level bathrooms. The homeowners wanted to preserve the structure and style of the home which resulted in pulling out the Nantucket inherent bones as well as creating those cozy spaces needed in Minnesota, resulting in the perfect marriage of styles and a remodel that works today's busy family.

This home remodel is a celebration of curves and light. Starting from humble beginnings as a basic builder ranch style house, the design challenge was maximizing natural light throughout and providing the unique contemporary style the client’s craved. The Entry offers a spectacular first impression and sets the tone with a large skylight and an illuminated curved wall covered in a wavy pattern Porcelanosa tile. The chic entertaining kitchen was designed to celebrate a public lifestyle and plenty of entertaining. Celebrating height with a robust amount of interior architectural details, this dynamic kitchen still gives one that cozy feeling of home sweet home. The large “L” shaped island accommodates 7 for seating. Large pendants over the kitchen table and sink provide additional task lighting and whimsy. The Dekton “puzzle” countertop connection was designed to aid the transition between the two color countertops and is one of the homeowner’s favorite details. The built-in bistro table provides additional seating and flows easily into the Living Room. A curved wall in the Living Room showcases a contemporary linear fireplace and tv which is tucked away in a niche. Placing the fireplace and furniture arrangement at an angle allowed for more natural walkway areas that communicated with the exterior doors and the kitchen working areas. The dining room’s open plan is perfect for small groups and expands easily for larger events. Raising the ceiling created visual interest and bringing the pop of teal from the Kitchen cabinets ties the space together. A built-in buffet provides ample storage and display. The Sitting Room (also called the Piano room for its previous life as such) is adjacent to the Kitchen and allows for easy conversation between chef and guests. It captures the homeowner’s chic sense of style and joie de vivre.

This project was a major renovation in collaboration with Payne & Payne Builders and Peninsula Architects. The dated home was taken down to the studs, reimagined, reconstructed and completely furnished for modern-day family life. A neutral paint scheme complemented the open plan. Clean lined cabinet hardware with accented details like glass and contrasting finishes added depth. No detail was spared with attention to well scaled furnishings, wall coverings, light fixtures, art, accessories and custom window treatments throughout the home. The goal was to create the casual, comfortable home our clients craved while honoring the scale and architecture of the home.

Main floor serenity with four kids? At Grand Homes & Renovations that was our end goal and achievement with this project. Since the homeowner had already completed a renovation on their second floor they were pretty confident how the main floor was going to flow. Removing the kitchen wall that separated a small and private dining room was a last minute and worth while change! Painted cabinets, warm maple floors with marble looking quartz added to the cape cod/beachy feeling the homeowners craved. We also were able to tuck a small mudroom space in just off the kitchen. Stop by and find your serenity!

Adding a big, bold dose of color to a room creates excitement. To get just the right amount of pop, start with a neutral base. Then add a few bright accessories—or an accent wall—to deliver the color you crave.

This homeowner loved her small, cozy house in St. Louis park, but after nearly 20 years, was ready to make the move and undergo a large remodeling project to finally gain the additional living spaces she craved daily. She desperately needed more and better storage, and dreamed of having additional space to support leisure activities such as crafting, a laundry space that didn’t depress her, a guest space, an additional space to flop down at the end of the day and watch TV, and a better, secondary bathroom for daily showering. After living in the house for so many years, a significant basement remodel would actually cost almost as much as the home itself originally was. But after years of planning, preparation and dreaming, it was finally time to take action and make her home better suit her life.
