A closer look at the breakfast area reveals why it's a favorite gathering place for the homeowners. To complement the new windows we installed a handsome double French door. Full disclosure - one of the homeowners' talented friends build the banquette.

Love the texture on this bathroom tile on the tub surround. Check out the recessed niche trimmed out with finished wood. Western Springs, Illinois Disclosure: We did not perform the installation or supply these materials.

This project won in the 2013 Builders Association of Metropolitan Pittsburgh Housing Excellence Award for Best Urban Renewal Renovation Project. The glass bowl was made in the glass studio owned by the owner which is adjacent to the residence. The mirror is a repurposed window. The door is repurposed from a boarding house. George Mendel

AFTER.... But why not invite EVERYONE here! A little color, centered fixtures, glam accessories and voila! *Disclosure... the beautiful burnt sienna drapes in this room are getting tweaked. Picture coming next week with them installed!

Living room - eclectic living room idea in San Francisco

Considering the flashy nature and the innovative designs that rustic contemporary houses are sporting of late, it really is not easy to fabricate a home that can showcase a mountain rustic look with just the right touch of contemporary. Yet, this bold design, is really something ‘different' and the moment you lay your eyes on it, you cannot but help fall in love with its well-defined plan, sleek look, amazing use of natural stone and integration of BC fir and raw metal into the structure. This house is a direct design response to site, form and utility of building material, which combine to create a solid, robust structure. Disclosure of the stone work, expansive art glass windows and timber frame accents creates a visual impact. The front entry and facade is aligned with the midday sun. The long side of the triple garage act as a retaining wall. Inside this house, rooms slide into each other, dissolving the problem of further enclosure. The plan is unrestricted by the geometry and a sense of infinite space is achieved. Materials are reduced to a palette of metal, concrete, glass and timber, underpinning the desire for a rustic but still contemporary home to be basic and creating an embedded modesty.

From here one can see how the Pantry serves as the back entrance to the house but leads directly to and supports the Kitchen with additional storage space. Photos by: Greg Mix

Malina started planning this kitchen when she lived overseas in a cramped German apartment. Over a year ago I stood in her kitchen sipping coffee with her and her husband as she showed me a folder filled with clippings she had saved through the years for her dream kitchen. I remember thinking "wow this is a lot"... but I can make this happen. AND we did! I absolutely love these clients and could not be happier about the final design. I always say I know the design is right when I start to get a little jealous that it isn't mine. Well this is one of those designs! I want to bake cookies with my children, drink wine with friends, and slow dance with my sweetheart in this kitchen. Cheers to two amazing clients, dreaming of something better and making it a reality! -Caroline A lot of expertise and hard work went into this one.

This week’s home feature is located in University Park on Purdue Street and was recently renovated by Alair Dallas-Fort Worth. Originally built in 2004, our clients purchased this home in 2019 because they liked the location and the layout. They knew they wanted to update it as a lot of the spaces felt dark and dated. The extensive renovation included an entirely new kitchen, primary bath, powder, with significant upgrades to the living room, bar, study, mudroom and secondary baths. Because the homeowners have a large dog, they chose to live in the home during the remodel. The live-in renovation was made possible by Alair’s careful planning around the family’s schedules along with the temporary addition of an operable kitchen and dining setup in the formal living room. Mid-remodel, COVID-19 struck, but the Alair team quickly adapted and continued to work efficiently to complete the project on time. Upon entering the home, you are greeted by a grand staircase. A bright living room is situated to the left of the entrance and a formal dining room is to the right, punctuated by a marvelous chandelier. The home features a large combined family room and kitchen area featuring a dark-hued, custom metal commercial vent-a-hood that draws a stark contrast to the brilliant white marble slab island. The overhauled bar area includes the addition of a wine room featuring ample storage for the homeowners’ collection. This combined living area is truly an entertainer’s dream. The second floor consists of the renovated primary suite, two additional bedrooms and a refinished media room. The primary suite is complete with a large, walk-in closet and a spa-inspired bath with a large soaking bathtub, rain shower, double vanities and floor-to-ceiling custom wood cabinets. Alair Dallas-Fort Worth is an award-winning custom home building and renovation company currently serving the great communities of Park Cities, Preston Hollow, North Dallas, East Dallas, Plano, Frisco, Prosper, Salina, Rockwall, Richardson and surrounding areas. Utilizing their proprietary construction management system, Client Control™, Alair builds a full-disclosure partnership with its clients by allowing customers to maximize their involvement in the home building and renovation process. Alair truly believes that Living Better Starts Here™; from multi-million dollar whole home remodels, additions and custom new builds to major kitchen and bath renovations, all with the same level of care, craftsmanship, and top-notch customer service.
