We were excited to take on this full home remodel with our Arvada clients! They have been living in their home for years, and were ready to delve into some major construction to make their home a perfect fit. This home had a lot of its original 1970s features, and we were able to work together to make updates throughout their home to make it fit their more modern tastes. We started by lowering their raised living room to make it level with the rest of their first floor; this not only removed a major tripping hazard, but also gave them a lot more flexibility when it came to placing furniture. To make their newly leveled first floor feel more cohesive we also replaced their mixed flooring with a gorgeous engineered wood flooring throughout the whole first floor. But the second floor wasn’t left out, we also updated their carpet with a subtle patterned grey beauty that tied in with the colors we utilized on the first floor. New taller baseboards throughout their entire home also helped to unify the spaces and brought the update full circle. One of the most dramatic changes we made was to take down all of the original wood railings and replace them custom steel railings. Our goal was to design a staircase that felt lighter and created less of a visual barrier between spaces. We painted the existing stringer a crisp white, and to balance out the cool steel finish, we opted for a wooden handrail. We also replaced the original carpet wrapped steps with dark wooden steps that coordinate with the finish of the handrail. Lighting has a major impact on how we feel about the space we’re in, and we took on this home’s lighting problems head on. By adding recessed lighting to the family room, and replacing all of the light fixtures on the first floor we were able to create more even lighting throughout their home as well as add in a few fun accents in the dining room and stairwell. To update the fireplace in the family room we replaced the original mantel with a dark solid wood beam to clean up the lines of the fireplace. We also replaced the original mirrored gold doors with a more contemporary dark steel finished to help them blend in better. The clients also wanted to tackle their powder room, and already had a beautiful new vanity selected, so we were able to design the rest of the space around it. Our favorite touch was the new accent tile installed from floor to ceiling behind the vanity adding a touch of texture and a clear focal point to the space. Little changes like replacing all of their door hardware, removing the popcorn ceiling, painting the walls, and updating the wet bar by painting the cabinets and installing a new quartz counter went a long way towards making this home a perfect fit for our clients

This back yard was once an unusable steep lawn that was a hazard to mow. The combination of split level patio space. lower level deck and summerhouse allow great flexibility for entertaining and relaxation. Summerhouse "basement" adds bonus storage space. Potted plants ring the upper patio for extra color and are changeable for continuing interest. Dramatic lighting and brass torches provide a spectacular evening atmosphere.

Entryway - mid-sized 1960s light wood floor entryway idea in Austin with white walls and a medium wood front door

My clients wanted to change their 1950's pink bathroom and remove the bathtub. They are planning to age-in place and the bathtub was a tripping hazard. Also, the showerhead had been installed quite low originally and one of my clients had to bend awkwardly to shower, so we raised the height of the showerhead to accommodate his tall frame.
My clients chose to remodel their bathroom with a blue and white color scheme. Blue Heaven Forbo Marmoluem flooring was installed to waterproof the floor. Planetarium Blue Lanmark was used for the countertop with integrated sink and the shower walls. For a visual contrast in the shower, Blizzard Lanmark was chosen for the floor and the corner seat/bench. This will help the homeowners see the transition between the flooring and the shower easier as they age.
Grab bars were installed inside the shower, along with blocking in the walls to aid in getting into and out of the shower, and getting up and down onto the seat in the shower.
Bright, white shaker cabinetry was installed, including a counter mounted medicine cabinet with rain glass. This added much more storage for my clients which was needed in this one bath home.
The owners painted the walls in a soft shade of blue once the remodel was complete. They are loving their remodeled bathroom and all of the extra storage. The seat in the shower is a real favorite too.

Here, the steps have inconsistent riser heights are a trip hazard, there are no handrail on either side of the steps--the guardrail (at left) is unacceptable as a handrail--and a gas meter is an unsightly feature at this primary entrance.

The new space looks nothing like it was before. Original kitchen was too small, and adjacent areas had a few other problems.
The front door opened straight into the wall of a long narrow hallway. It created a 90 degree turn to get into the family room.
The door between the kitchen and dining room made the traffic flow awkward for both areas.
Coat closet in the front hallway located right across the stairwell, created potential fall hazard when opening the door.
Solution:
With the rear porch door left in place, the two side windows were swapped and the kitchen was relocated to the opposite wall.
Hallway walls were taken down and the coat closet was relocated away from the stairs.
Door opening between the dining room and former kitchen was restored.
After remodeling, all rooms became bigger and more functional. New beautiful kitchen has a central island and a built-in breakfast nook.
Family room also feels more open. Dining Room has a better traffic flow and holds the potential for a bigger table to seat more guests.

Our client’s wish list included specific areas for a grill, a hot tub, and some needed shade in a very sunny back yard. The original stamped concrete patio was constructed 2-3 feet above grade making it a clear safety hazard. Originally the home had a single door to the back yard. The recently added family room added a door wall. The two entrances now provided back yard access but needed to be tied-in cohesively with a new design.
Our comprehensive design included the deck, paver patio, and specified the shade-providing pergola. Project management required removals, deck construction, gas line installation, burial of power lines, pergola and hot tub installation.
We delivered an entertainment space designed for family fun, as well as an adult hang out, perfect for an afternoon get-together or an evening retreat.

Separation in style, when desired. Lead door movement causes successive doors to follow along. Eliminates channels and trip hazard on floor.

Looking toward the original living room from the old kitchen. The floor levels are continuous at last (there was a trip hazard of a step down into the old kitchen).
A new door and window on the side of this space provide good access and views to the patio and gardens. The bricked wood storage is convenient to the outside door and the stove, too!

These East Siders previously described their front porch as a hazard. Formerly framed and sheathed with plywood and a completely tiled finish - the porch was cracking, moving, and rotting. A new baby was on the way so the old porch had to go! With a goal of keeping the yard comfortable and informal Moontower created a modern and slightly rustic two sided porch. Equally approachable for everyday use from the alley as well as for guests from the street, the porch was completely transformed and extended with a gravel landing 30" below the deck height. Despite the tile shell, the piers and framing were in good shape, so salvaging the core elements was an option. Rough sawn sawn cedar 4x material, steel tube and bar as well as cut and crushed limestone were used throughout. Working with the existing porch location and respecting tree locations provided site specific opportunities for a unique solution.

The new space looks nothing like it was before. Original kitchen was too small, and adjacent areas had a few other problems.
The front door opened straight into the wall of a long narrow hallway. It created a 90 degree turn to get into the family room.
The door between the kitchen and dining room made the traffic flow awkward for both areas.
Coat closet in the front hallway located right across the stairwell, created potential fall hazard when opening the door.

Family room also feels more open. Dining Room has a better traffic flow and holds the potential for a bigger table to seat more guests.

A neutral colour palette was the main aspect of the brief setting the tone for a sophisticated and elegant home.
For the floor we chose Quickstep Majestic - Desert Oak Brushed Grey. The neutral tone will be a subtle backdrop to the furnishings tying everything together. The features of the floor like scratch-resistant, important for the dog and waterproof surface for use in kitchen and laundry. Moreover, Quick-Step laminate floors have received the EU Ecolabel, which means that they are made from at least 80% sustainably sourced wood, avoid hazardous substances in their composition, and are produced in power efficient factories.
