Built in 1998, the 2,800 sq ft house was lacking the charm and amenities that the location justified. The idea was to give it a "Hawaiiana" plantation feel. Exterior renovations include staining the tile roof and exposing the rafters by removing the stucco soffits and adding brackets. Smooth stucco combined with wood siding, expanded rear Lanais, a sweeping spiral staircase, detailed columns, balustrade, all new doors, windows and shutters help achieve the desired effect. On the pool level, reclaiming crawl space added 317 sq ft. for an additional bedroom suite, and a new pool bathroom was added. On the main level vaulted ceilings opened up the great room, kitchen, and master suite. Two small bedrooms were combined into a fourth suite and an office was added. Traditional built-in cabinetry and moldings complete the look.

The Victoria's Nursery is a cozy and serene space designed for the comfort of the little ones. The beige carpets provide a soft and plush surface for babies to crawl and play on. The white walls create a bright and airy atmosphere, promoting a sense of tranquility. Gray chairs offer a comfortable seating option for parents or caregivers. A wooden dresser adds a touch of warmth and provides ample storage for baby essentials. The gray crib serves as a safe and cozy sleeping area for the little one. A white door with black hardware adds a stylish contrast and seamlessly blends with the overall aesthetic. A beige rug adds a soft and inviting element to the room, while white can lights provide gentle illumination. The Victoria's Nursery is a soothing and welcoming space for the little bundle of joy to grow and thrive in.

This project features a horizontal cedar screening fence around the HVAC units with removable panels for maintenance access, a raised planter bed along the edge with built-in vent wells around the crawl space vents, and a large patio. The patio features Techo-Bloc Borealis in a herringbone weave, Belgard Cambridge Cobble in a circle kit, and Appalachian Cambridge Cobble for a border. We've also used black diamond polymeric sand in the joints to give it the appearance of a void space in between the Borealis slabs to create a look of a stone deck.

This home’s kitchen isn’t large and needed to somehow hold a mudroom area as the detached garage enters into the space. I carefully planned out all storage needs and we were able to add a wide, double door cabinet closet by the back door. The upper area holds coats and clutter. The lower doors have hooks and boot trays for backpacks and shoes. Paneling the Subzero fridge helps with softening the weight of the large appliance, as does the panel on the dishwasher. Little details like the skirt on the toe area and the beautiful hood and island posts make this smaller work space truly special!

For the woodland theme, I started with a custom mural to capture the essence of the woods and the animals you would see in the woods. We then decided on painting the other walls a light green to carry the woodland feel throughout. Lastly, we decided on incorporating wallpaper on the ceiling to reflect a cloudy sky during the day and a starry night at night. A crib that grows with the baby allowed enough functional space for a full-size bed. Accent wood and wood-like elements were then added to the space such as live edge shelves, branch wall sconces, and a branch bookcase to add that woodland character. A large 12'x15' rug with a floral pattern made a soft and fun area for the baby to crawl on. Fun 3D animal heads, pillows, and other decor were finally added to tie together everything creating the perfect woodland nursery.

The owner's dream was for an elegant, prairie style kitchen. A bearing wall required removal to accomplish this plan. First, we shored up the second floor wall and roof. Electrical, plumbing, drywall and framing were removed from the existing bearing wall. A hole was then cut in the floor for the new steel post. The new steel was delivered into the home. The bearing wall was then removed. We welded a bracket to the side of the existing steel column. The new steel beam was installed on the welded bracket. A new steel column was installed at the opposite of beam, which extended through floor and welded to the steel beam in the crawl space. We framed and installed paneling around the new beam and two posts. General Contractor / Remodel: ED Enterprises, Inc.
