Inspiration for a small modern wooden straight staircase remodel in Louisville with wooden risers

Eastview Before & After Exterior Renovation Enhancing a home’s exterior curb appeal doesn’t need to be a daunting task. With some simple design refinements and creative use of materials we transformed this tired 1950’s style colonial with second floor overhang into a classic east coast inspired gem. Design enhancements include the following: • Replaced damaged vinyl siding with new LP SmartSide, lap siding and trim • Added additional layers of trim board to give windows and trim additional dimension • Applied a multi-layered banding treatment to the base of the second-floor overhang to create better balance and separation between the two levels of the house • Extended the lower-level window boxes for visual interest and mass • Refined the entry porch by replacing the round columns with square appropriately scaled columns and trim detailing, removed the arched ceiling and increased the ceiling height to create a more expansive feel • Painted the exterior brick façade in the same exterior white to connect architectural components. A soft blue-green was used to accent the front entry and shutters • Carriage style doors replaced bland windowless aluminum doors • Larger scale lantern style lighting was used throughout the exterior

Blank and Cables wanted to create not only a futuristic and modern aesthetic throughout this San Francisco Penthouse, but we also wanted to include the smooth and effortless features associated with space age design. Throughout the home, LED light fixtures allow for controlled color and ambiance; the living room houses a sliding couch that tucks away into an airplane inspired aluminium fuselage with pivoting windows that reveal the master bedroom; and transparent steps provide a clear view of the daunting heights below. This modern, space age penthouse is truly a one-of-a-kind interior landscape with all the bells and whistles to match one of this millennia's finest designs. Todd Roberts

Renovation and expansion of a 1930s-era classic. Buying an old house can be daunting. But with careful planning and some creative thinking, phasing the improvements helped this family realize their dreams over time. The original International Style house was built in 1934 and had been largely untouched except for a small sunroom addition. Phase 1 construction involved opening up the interior and refurbishing all of the finishes. Phase 2 included a sunroom/master bedroom extension, renovation of an upstairs bath, a complete overhaul of the landscape and the addition of a swimming pool and terrace. And thirteen years after the owners purchased the home, Phase 3 saw the addition of a completely private master bedroom & closet, an entry vestibule and powder room, and a new covered porch.

The stairway to the attic received all the 1st floor attention in this house. The trim just keeps on going and added such a nice feature. Photo Credit: N. Leonard
