A MODERN MISSION
The challenge in this Ottawa South home was to update a turn-of-the-century home’s kitchen, preserving the Arts and Craft styling while providing the modern conveniences required by today’s lifestyles. The classic lines and warm colours combine to create a functional and inviting space.
The upper cabinets do double duty, offering long-term storage space as well as providing extra lighting. A salvaged antique door with sandblasted glass replaced an inappropriate modern door. A custom cherry heat grill was crafted and stained to match for the stool side of the peninsula. With careful attention to detail, the painted and damaged mouldings in the dining & kitchen area were replaced with new ones that were finished with stain & amber shellac to help them blend seamlessly with the old ones. Mission accomplished.

After living in their home for over 18 years, the homeowners loved the architectural potential of their home, and needed a refresh to meet their current family needs.
They now had two kids in college and wanted to focus on entertaining.
The key projects in the home included a new dramatic living room, the white kitchen renovation, a new personalized man-cave for the husband, and a large walk-in closet with custom height drawer storage for the wife.
Throughout the rooms in this renovation, we added pops of gold and glamour, yet kept the home cozy and livable.
We utilized cohesive design elements throughout the home including ship-lap texture and detailing throughout the kitchen, new mudroom, wok kitchen, living room, and master bedroom.
Project Highlights: White Kitchen Renovation
In this white kitchen renovation, we removed the old wooden shaker-style kitchen cabinetry and replaced them with all new white and grey cabinets, and white marble counter tops. Expertly hidden behind some of these cabinets is the family’s new walk-in pantry.
The original space had a small, awkward-shaped kitchen island that was so small it was barely functional or convenient for more than one person to sit at. We gave the homeowners a much larger kitchen island, with a beveled edge, that now has more than enough space for eating, socializing, or doing work. With a large overhang counter top on one side, there is now room for several backless bar stools tucked under the island. You’ll also notice glitters of gold inside the two over-sized lighting fixtures suspended over the island.
We created the homeowners a small wok kitchen just off of their new white kitchen renovation. In the main kitchen, we added a ceramic flat cook top and subtle white exhaust hood with an elegant rose-gold trim. Behind it, a white/grey mosaic back splash acts as a wall accent to provide some dimension to the otherwise solid white space. Surrounding the range hood are two large wall cabinets with clear doors to provide extra storage without adding bulk to the newly opened room.
The adjacent dining room was also updated to include a long, contemporary dining table with comfortable seating for eight (ten if you want to get cozy). We replaced the low-hanging run-of-the-mill chandelier with a higher, more modern style made of gold and glass. Behind it all is a new dark grey accent wall with a paneled design to add dimension and depth to the new brighter room.
Brightening the Living Room
In addition to the white kitchen renovations, the living room got a much needed update too.
The original high ceilings were so high they were unusable for decor or artwork, and a fireplace was mostly unused.
We installed a large dark grey paneled accent wall (to match the new accent wall in the new formal dining room nearby), to make better use of the space in a stylish, artful way.
In the middle of the room, a stunning minimalist hanging chandelier adds a pop of gold and elegance to the new space.

Contemporary meets function in this Oakton, VA remodel. When it comes to home transformations, Foster Remodeling Solutions knows how to bring visions to life. Recently, a family came to us with a desire for a spacious, open kitchen perfect for entertaining, loaded with extra storage, a sleek bar area, and even custom cabinets for their beloved dogs. We took their vision and turned it into a stunning reality, creating a home that balances beauty and practicality.
Kitchen Transformation: An Open, Inviting Space
The kitchen renovation began with a bold change: we removed the wall between the kitchen and dining room to create a seamless, open-concept layout. This reimagined space centers around a large, welcoming island that now serves as a gathering place for friends and family. The added bar area brings a touch of sophistication, ideal for hosting, while custom cabinets were carefully designed for easy access to pet essentials—making the kitchen functional for everyone in the family.
With contemporary cabinetry and streamlined storage solutions, this kitchen offers both convenience and style. Every detail, from the lighting to the countertop finish, was chosen to complement the family’s lifestyle, making it not only a cooking space but also an entertainment hub.

Transformed from drab basement into a haven of modern comfort, this family room radiates coziness and functionality.
The focal point its a sleek built in media area, perfect for movie nights. Next to it, a refreshment bar area convenient for snacks/ drinks and extra seating.
We've also created a kids play area, designed to let creativity and playfulness keep the little ones entertained.
Custom- built in storage solutions line the walls, maximizing space and keeping clutter at bay, while adding to the room seamless aesthetic. Over all it's a space where families can unwind, bind and make lasting memories together

This Glencoe kitchen remodel brings modern conveniences to a classic home. The client for this kitchen remodel wanted to take their outdated kitchen with mismatched fixtures to the next level. To accomplish the homeowners’ dreams, we built a symmetrical island and a centered cooktop with an oversized stainless steel hood. The three decorative sides of the island feature no visible hardware and touch latch operation to retain its sleek lines, further accenting the focus on updated style and function.
To make this kitchen remodel complete, we installed Cambria quartz countertops, acid etched glass wall cabinets, a hidden paneled fridge/freezer combo, and a recessed coffee machine to maintain the clean aesthetic without sacrificing functionality within the space. The kitchen also features a linear aqua glass tile backsplash that creates color contrast for a compelling focal point. Custom storage cabinets with wide two-door access, spinning lazy Susan shelves, and extra wide shelf storage round out this modern kitchen remodel in Glencoe.

The homeowners' key request was for a double vanity and a double shower wet room, which we made the focal point of the space. The wet room design not only provides a spa-like experience but also offers practical benefits, with separate shower heads and ample space for two. It creates a seamless, open feel while being easy to maintain.
In addition to the wet room, the expanded layout allowed us to include a dedicated vanity space for morning routines, enhancing both convenience and organization. The layout also includes a separate toilet room, adding an extra level of privacy and functionality.

In place of the old stove and microwave is now extra cabinet and counter top space. We also installed a convenient appliance garage and corner display shelves and relocated the sink for an improved layout.

Dining room | Visit our website to see where we’re building the Daley plan in Washington! You’ll find photos, interactive floor plans and more.
The main floor of the Daley model offers an open dining room and an expansive great room that flows into a gourmet kitchen with a center island and walk-in pantry. You'll also appreciate a convenient bedroom with full bath, a quiet study and a relaxing covered patio. Upstairs, discover a laundry room, a large loft and four inviting bedrooms, including an elegant master suite with an immense walk-in closet and private bath. Personalization options at some communities may include a chef’s kitchen, a deluxe master bath and an extra bedroom in lieu of the loft.

Offering lots of storage room and natural light, the CRAFTSMAN makes a great workshop or gardener’s haven. The higher roof pitch and craftsman style brackets add elegance; the additional single door provides convenience. But it’s the craftsman-style dormer with transom that really raises this model above the ordinary. The Craftsman has a beautiful roof that allows more light into the space. The extra door makes this a great model when you need easy access to the space. This has been a great option for people who needed: workshops, potting sheds, and pool houses as well.

Typical of bungalows and city lots, the footprint of this home was narrow with living spaces in front, bedrooms in back and kitchen centrally located. However, unlike most bungalows, the hall running from front to back have been closed off to, presumably, accommodate a walk-in pantry. Couple that with the fact that this circa 1925 bungalow had seen a lot of living – read boisterous children and remodeling trends like z-brick, soffits, and fluorescent overhead lighting – the kitchen was due for a major overhaul.
Truly the hub of this house, the modest 11’ x 12’ kitchen was most in need of additional countertop space, convenient garbage/recycle bin, counter-depth refrigerator, storage aids, informal dining for two, and sound-proofing to enable this musically adept family to coexist despite varied schedules.
Gone are the wall soffits, boxy overhead lighting, six-foot baseboard heat unit, extra deep refrigerator, refurbished cabinets, laminate countertops, z-brick wall covering, and makeshift door swags. Enter rich mahogany cabinets, roll and pull-out storage units, endcap spice storage, gorgeous granite tops, marble backsplash, LED lighting, acoustic insulation and solid-wood doors.
Under the guise of such a handsome room, provisions such as a period style sink allow for more efficient use of corners with pull-out half-moon trays for storage. Redirecting the baseboard heat to a compact, toekick unit, means more cabinet and counter space – perfect for a baking and/or entertaining area removed from the basic work triangle. The eating area, also, doubles as a work station with drawers for office supplies and dedicated outlet for cable tv. Functional yet beautiful, this kitchen is at the ready as its owners look forward to their golden years.
