Many families ponder the idea of adding extra living space for a few years before they are actually ready to remodel. Then, all-of-the sudden, something will happen that makes them realize that they can’t wait any longer. In the case of this remodeling story, it was the snowstorm of 2016 that spurred the homeowners into action. As the family was stuck in the house with nowhere to go, they longed for more space. The parents longed for a getaway spot for themselves that could also double as a hangout area for the kids and their friends. As they considered their options, there was one clear choice…to renovate the detached garage.
The detached garage previously functioned as a workshop and storage room and offered plenty of square footage to create a family room, kitchenette, and full bath. It’s location right beside the outdoor kitchen made it an ideal spot for entertaining and provided an easily accessible bathroom during the summertime. Even the canine family members get to enjoy it as they have their own personal entrance, through a bathroom doggie door.
Our design team listened carefully to our client’s wishes to create a space that had a modern rustic feel and found selections that fit their aesthetic perfectly. To set the tone, Blackstone Oak luxury vinyl plank flooring was installed throughout. The kitchenette area features Maple Shaker style cabinets in a pecan shell stain, Uba Tuba granite countertops, and an eye-catching amber glass and antique bronze pulley sconce. Rather than use just an ordinary door for the bathroom entry, a gorgeous Knotty Alder barn door creates a stunning focal point of the room.
The fantastic selections continue in the full bath. A reclaimed wood double vanity with a gray washed pine finish anchors the room. White, semi-recessed sinks with chrome faucets add some contemporary accents, while the glass and oil-rubbed bronze mini pendant lights are a balance between both rustic and modern. The design called for taking the shower tile to the ceiling and it really paid off. A sliced pebble tile floor in the shower is curbed with Uba Tuba granite, creating a clean line and another accent detail.
The new multi-functional space looks like a natural extension of their home, with its matching exterior lights, new windows, doors, and sliders. And with winter approaching and snow on the way, this family is ready to hunker down and ride out the storm in comfort and warmth. When summer arrives, they have a designated bathroom for outdoor entertaining and a wonderful area for guests to hang out.
It was a pleasure to create this beautiful remodel for our clients and we hope that they continue to enjoy it for many years to come.

The Interior Design
This beautiful ranch home welcomes you with a charming, craftsman-style façade and large, inviting front porch.
The kitchen truly is the heart of the home showcasing a massive island with a little something extra special for our four-legged friends. Gorgeous slab granite, herringbone tile and classic, antique white cabinets give this space a traditional feel that is warm and welcoming.
Spacious but cozy, the master suite features special attention to detail and custom trim work. The master bath will make your troubles disappear. Additionally, the main level includes an awesome mud/laundry room, secondary bedroom (or study) and full bath. Snuggle up in the main-level great room and enjoy the stone fireplace on those chilly Colorado evenings or head down to the finished lower-level snack bar and a enjoy a movie while the kids explore fun spaces just for them. There is plenty of room for everyone with three additional bedrooms and two full baths in the basement. Bonus: there is an RV bay in the attached garage.
Brought to you by Hi-Point Home Builders, this home is situated on a 35-acre lot in Old West Ranch where you will find country living at its best.

This space of focus is the very first room you see when you enter this home. The original space was dark, lacked character, and essentially acted as a catch-all space for toys. It was our client's desire to transform this space into elegant entry/sitting room for "mom-of-the-house" to relax, read, and enjoy a refreshment as she enjoyed the view. We wanted to do that for her and more! We completely transformed the walls by adding a surrounding wainscoting that died into a classic and gorgeous door trim on both openings. We added custom built-in bookshelves that surrounded a beautiful and bright front window. Above the wainscoting we added a fun but subtle wallpaper in our client's beloved green hue. To make the room more inviting and comfortable, we added 2 comfortable accent chairs for sitting, conversation, and curling up with a good book. We added a nice pendant to the ceiling to give the room some extra character and added stylish accents throughout the room to finish off the design.

Original kitchen cabinets from 1970. The pass-through which separates the kitchen from the main living area was meticulously removed and the door fronts were used to make cabinets for the Master Bathroom, Guest Bathroom, and Powder Room. The cabinets are extra deep allowing for extra storage and concealed trash and recycling. Granite slab counters are bookended to match on either side, presenting exquisite attention to detail. Enjoy top-of-the-line appliances including a state-of-the-art induction cooktop.

This home was our model home for our community, Sage Meadows. This floor plan is still available in current communities. This home boasts a covered front porch and covered back patio for enjoying the outdoors. And you will enjoy the beauty of the indoors of this great home. Notice the master bedroom with attached bathroom featuring a corner garden tub. In addition to an ample laundry room find a mud room with walk in closet for extra projects and storage. The kitchen, dining area and great room offer ideal space for family time and entertainment.

Kitchen remodel in which the client wanted not only to update her 1980s kitchen, but incorporate items into her kitchen for better functionality. She enjoys entertaining guests by cooking for them, and she wanted a space where she could enjoying cooking while entertaining her family and friends. We incorporated an oversized island with added features for small kitchen appliances for extra workspace while cooking, but once clean was completed the island could serve as a buffet / serving area for entertaining as well.

Welcome to a newly built home in Redwood City, crafted from the ground up with over 25 years of skilled construction expertise. Original home was demolished. Every detail was thoughtfully designed to meet city standards, limitations, and requirements—resulting in a residence that feels light, crisp, and deeply connected to nature. Wood floors run throughout the home, creating warmth and continuity from the moment you step inside.
*Entry & Living Spaces*
As you enter through the clean, modern 8-foot door—perfectly aligned with the 9-foot ceiling—you’re greeted by a bright, open feel. The living room centers around a custom fireplace clad in artistic tile, paired with a built-in TV stand. Directly across, double sliding doors invite natural light and seamless indoor-outdoor living. The entire home enjoys a ceiling of 9' with a combination of vaulted ceiling in the primary bedroom.
*Kitchen – The Heart of the Home*
The kitchen is the true centerpiece. Designed with an open concept and surrounded by generous windows, it features quartz on both the countertops and full-height walls for a luxurious, cohesive aesthetic. A large island—topped with a full slab of quartz—anchors the room, offering extra space between the island and main counters for comfortable movement and entertainment. Two elegant clear pendant lights highlight its presence. Outfitted with top-tier luxury appliances designed for both performance and visual refinement.
White cabinetry keeps the look clean and minimalist, while oversized drawers provide functional storage for cooking utensils. The induction cooktop, paired with a pot filler, reinforces the modern and streamlined design. A double oven and an almost-hidden pantry maintain the sleek look, keeping the focus on the kitchen’s architecture and flow.
Mudroom & Dining Area Adjacent to the kitchen is a mudroom with a charming barn door leading toward the garage. A half-wall accent features eccentric black-and-white tile, complemented by bold black fixtures. A small custom hidden closet maximizes storage while maintaining a refined appearance.
The dining room, open and airy, continues the wood flooring and is adorned with stylish pendant lighting—perfect for gatherings and everyday meals. The wide, open staircase is fully exposed to the dining area and first floor, creating a striking architectural feature that visually connects the spaces. Its modern wood-and-metal design contributes to the home’s open flow while serving as a sculptural centerpiece within the main living level.
*Bedrooms & Laundry*
Guest and secondary bedrooms are bright and inviting, each with multiple windows framed in sleek black for a modern edge. Every bedroom enjoys its own bathroom, offering comfort and privacy. A compact but well-designed laundry room includes a sink and drying rack, making smart use of space.
The second story features an open layout with wide hallways, enhancing the sense of space and natural flow. This home also includes an office and one of the bedrooms is used for a workout space.
*Primary Suite*
Set apart from the other bedrooms for privacy, the primary suite is a luxurious retreat. An accent wall adds character, while a large walk-in closet offers abundant storage. A skylight fills the room with natural light, enhancing the open, breathable atmosphere.
*Bathrooms*
Each bathroom was thoughtfully designed with its own personality:
- Primary bathroom: The primary bathroom embraces a concrete-inspired look, featuring dual sinks and a spacious shower with double-sided niches—one for each person. An LED makeup mirror adds functional elegance.
- Second bathroom: Gray cabinet, tile wall, black fixtures, frameless shower door, and a striking floral tile accent.
- Third bathroom: White cabinets, gold fixtures, white tile floors, a shower stall, and a bold green tile feature wall with a large niche.
- Fourth bathroom: Blue cabinet, gray tile floors, a tub with frameless shower door, and gray wall tiles paired with sleek chrome fixtures.
- Powder Room: Half wall crown molding with black tile design and fixtures.
*Exterior & Landscape*
The planning process also emphasized low-maintenance landscape design, using easy-care plants that enhance the home’s natural feel without demanding constant upkeep. The home is also equipped with a dedicated EV charging station and solar panels, supporting energy efficiency and modern sustainable living.

Near the center of this photo is the outdoor Dining Patio, where the owners can enjoy breakfasts at sunrise over Camel Head Mountain to the east. A great place to sit and relax and enjoy chatting with the neighbors as they walk by. Natural stone accents as well as wood outriggers and beams finish off the smooth stucco exterior with that extra Southwestern touch.

Every detail of this new construction home was planned and thought of. From the door knobs to light fixtures this home turned into a modern farmhouse master piece! The Highland Park family of 6 aimed to create an oasis for their extended family and friends to enjoy. We added a large sectional, extra island space and a spacious outdoor setup to complete this goal. Our tile selections added special details to the bathrooms, mudroom and laundry room. The lighting lit up the gorgeous wallpaper and paint selections. To top it off the accessories were the perfect way to accentuate the style and excitement within this home! This project is truly one of our favorites. Hopefully we can enjoy cocktails in the pool soon!

This bathroom renovation was for a retired couple seeking to maintain independence and enjoy their master bathroom as a spa retreat. The existing space did not have sufficient storage, was poorly light, had a shower with a small entry, and a stepped large bathtub that was virtually never used. The couple sought to open the space, create a shower they could really enjoy, and create more accessible storage for them to utilize given the size of their bathroom, which was approximately 9’ x 13’.
We removed the existing shower and bathtub. The walls were removed to open the space. We then framed back what would become the left wall of the new shower, due to the existing wall being both out of plumb and out of square. The floor joists were lowered inside the shower to allow for a curbless entry. This was necessary for us to install tile on the inside the shower in the way the owner desired. The tile inside of the shower was Celima Galeras Noce, in 12x12, 3x12, and 2x2(for the floor). The accent was a mini-brick Sunset Lava.
The floor tile was replaced through the space, the toilet was upgraded to a Kohler comfort height toilet, and the bathroom received new base board and door casing throughout. Customized storage cabinets and open shelves were installed to the left of the shower. Lighting was upgraded and a fresh coat of paint finished off the space, creating a much brighter and lighter feel, which was in keeping with the open concept which carried through to the extra-large shower, shower glass, and open shelving.

This home was our model home for our community, Sage Meadows. This floor plan is still available in current communities. This home boasts a covered front porch and covered back patio for enjoying the outdoors. And you will enjoy the beauty of the indoors of this great home. Notice the master bedroom with attached bathroom featuring a corner garden tub. In addition to an ample laundry room find a mud room with walk in closet for extra projects and storage. The kitchen, dining area and great room offer ideal space for family time and entertainment.
