Our beloved love tub clients referred us to our sweet client in South Minneapolis who wanted to finally remodel her kitchen. She works with our love tub client and followed that project closely and was excited to do her space. The hardest challenge with South Minneapolis homes are their small spaces and the close lot lines that prevent additions. We, along with contractor Landmark Remodeling decided to keep the layout, but change the functions of the cabinetry. She wanted a new floor and we decided luxury vinyl plank was the answer. We also switched the location of the dishwasher so we could have pullout garbage and recycling. In addition to the kitchen we helped her source her new dining room furniture. And the best part...she is already scheming her next remodel, which is the biggest compliment we could get.

Designed by Marc Jean-Michel of Reico Kitchen & Bath in Bethesda, MD in collaboration with Liz Forgione of MMD Construction, this small transitional kitchen features Green Forest cabinets in the Park Place shaker door style in two finishes. The base cabinets feature a Summit Grey finish and the wall cabinets a White finish. The kitchen countertops are MSI Artic White Quartz. The kitchen includes a Maravilla/Alvetian Isles Honed Marble 4x16 tile backsplash along with GE and Frigidaire appliances. “The hardest part was envisioning a new functional space in an old kitchen with a poor layout and use of space,” said the client. “I love most the transformation in the flow of the whole first floor. The kitchen entries are wide, more inviting and create a lot of great light! There is so much great storage in a small kitchen! Marc was great to work with. I loved all of his ideas.” Photos courtesy of BTW Images LLC.

This project was basically a blank slate for a living/dining room with the ever-challenging sunroom extension of the living room. We bridged the living room into the sunroom with a bench so that it feels open. New furniture throughout, lighting, art some dramatic wallpaper and window treatments tie the first floor together. The hardest working space is in the back of the house though, where we added custom built-in cabinetry by the back door. Instead of matching the white kitchen, we chose to bring in green and a dash of walnut from the other furniture on that level. FUN FACT: The mudroom is multi-functional with two large coat cabinets, shoe storage, a key drop, overflow storage above and a hidden pull out desk. See it in action below.

Promotional A/C Tune-Up | Gilbert, AZ Client: Nikhil Location: Gilbert, AZ Scope of Work: Promotional A/C tune-up, full system inspection, written recommendations Nikhil booked our promotional A/C tune-up to get his system looked over properly by a technician. A tune-up is a full working inspection, not a quick glance at the outdoor unit. Our technician went through coolant levels and pressure, thermostat calibration, wiring, contacts, capacitors and relays, the evaporator coil, condenser cleaning, the condensate drain, the outdoor disconnect, the condenser fan motor and blades, and compressor performance at startup. Compressor startup is one of the most revealing checks of the visit. It is the moment the system pulls hardest, and watching it come on tells a technician a great deal about the condition of the equipment. Nikhil received written recommendations covering any further maintenance or repair his system may need, so he knows where things stand before the next demanding stretch of weather. Nikhil, thank you for having us out. Due for your tune-up? Olive Air and Heating serves Gilbert, Chandler, Mesa, Queen Creek and the East Valley. #GilbertAZ #ACTuneUp #OliveAirHeating

Designed by Katherine Dashiell of Reico Kitchen & Bath in Annapolis, MD in collaboration with Taurus Enterprises, this coastal style inspired kitchen remodeling project features Greenfield Cabinetry in the Jackson door style in two finishes. The perimeter cabinets are the finish Glacier complemented by a Nebula finish on the kitchen island cabinets. The kitchen includes White Haven Kohler sink and Top Knobs bar pulls. The backsplash and countertops where provided by others. “The hardest part was we did a major remodel and had to live without a kitchen for two months,” said the client. “Our Reico salesperson was awesome. She did an amazing job designing the space and making it flow beautifully. I love how in removing a wall it opened up our kitchen and living area. My favorite cabinet accessory is the utensil bucket by the stove.” Photos courtesy of BTW Images LLC.

Taragano Design & Build completed this living room in Alamo, California. The surround follows the ceiling rather than stopping square. That sounds simple and it is the hardest part of the work. Every tile course along the raked edge is cut to a changing angle, and the substrate behind it has to be framed to that slope before any tile is set. Stopping the tile at a horizontal line would have been faster and would have left the fireplace looking like it was installed in the wrong room. Flanking niches were built in at the same height on both sides and lit from above. They give the wall symmetry the vaulted ceiling does not provide on its own, and they keep the eye from reading the room as lopsided. The mantel is a single steel plate rather than a timber. In a composition this vertical, a heavy wood shelf would divide the surround in half. A thin plate reads as a line across it. Licensed general contractor, CSLB #1143420. Diamond Certified.

Designed by Shanae Mobley of Reico Kitchen & Bath in Springfield VA in collaboration with Eagle Innovations, this contemporary bathroom remodel features contemporary bathroom cabinets by Ultracraft Cabinetry in the Apex door style in a painted Pebble Gray finish. The vanity top is Calico White from MSI Q Quartz. The bathroom includes Daltile 12x24 Cove Creek Grey wall tiles and Atlas 12x24 Grespania Tivolo Perla Matte floor tile. Shower floor tiles were provided by others. “The client’s plan was to retire in place, so we focused on updating their bathroom accordingly with a contemporary twist,” said Shanae. “We created easier access to their washer and dryer, which are now in their master bath. We included features like a curbless, doorless shower with a bench, slip resistant tile, grab bars and lighted mirrors.” Added the client, “The hardest part of the project was working the washer and dryer into the layout of the room. We love the curbless, doorless shower entrance. Shanae was very helping in selecting products, designing the shower and creating the room layout.” Photos courtesy of BTW Images LLC.
