This kitchen used to be in an "U-Shaped" design, with a small window at the back wall. We instead opened up the whole back, making it into an L Shaped design, and let in a flood of light!

I decided to go with DIY drum shade pendant lamps in the bedroom area since there wasn't much space on either side of the bed for table lamps. You can see how I made these lamps in this video here: http://www.engineeryourspace.com/episodes/how-to-make-a-pendant-lamp/

For this Stuart mission, the wall had to go. We engineered a high-functioning open concept featuring a dedicated Coffee Station with a prep sink to keep the main Jumbo Quartzite island clear. We used 36-inch drawer bases for massive storage and a floor-to-ceiling pantry—no upper cabinets needed. As the owners say in the video, Wife Loves it! The unscripted video testimonial is the ultimate "Visual Ledger"—it turns a high-end photo into undeniable proof of your honesty and craftsmanship. Seeing the Miller family explain the "Relief" of finally having the wall removed and the kitchen designed to perfection is what converts a browser into a client. Linking directly to that Miller "Original Print" Video on Houzz is the smartest move you've made today. It shows the real people behind the 36" drawer bases and the hidden hood vent, proving you are the "Once and Done" specialist they can trust.

A dark and dingy basement is now the most popular area of this family’s home. The new basement enhances and expands their living area, giving them a relaxing space for watching movies together and a separate, swanky bar area for watching sports games. The design creatively uses reclaimed barnwood throughout the space, including ceiling beams, the staircase, the face of the bar, the TV wall in the seating area, open shelving and a sliding barn door. The client wanted a masculine bar area for hosting friends/family. It’s the perfect space for watching games and serving drinks. The bar area features hickory cabinets with a granite stain, quartz countertops and an undermount sink. There is plenty of cabinet storage, floating shelves for displaying bottles/glassware, a wine shelf and beverage cooler. The most notable feature of the bar is the color changing LED strip lighting under the shelves. The lights illuminate the bottles on the shelves and the cream city brick wall. The lighting makes the space feel upscale and creates a great atmosphere when the homeowners are entertaining. We sourced all the barnwood from the same torn down barn to make sure all the wood matched. We custom milled the wood for the stairs, newel posts, railings, ceiling beams, bar face, wood accent wall behind the TV, floating bar shelves and sliding barn door. Our team designed, constructed and installed the sliding barn door that separated the finished space from the laundry/storage area. The staircase leading to the basement now matches the style of the other staircase in the house, with white risers and wood treads. Lighting is an important component of this space, as this basement is dark with no windows or natural light. Recessed lights throughout the room are on dimmers and can be adjusted accordingly. The living room is lit with an overhead light fixture and there are pendant lights over the bar.
