We removed the old stairs, and installed new stringers at a slightly sharper angle to create more headroom. The risers, treads, railings, spindles are all new. Also in background, the walls used to be wood paneling. We filled joints and covered with a wallpaper type material, and painted. Now it looks like sheetrock. We also installed new pre-finished hardwood flooring with 3/4 Advantec subfloor glued and ramset over concrete floor.

This fun classic kitchen in Gold River features Columbia frameless cabinets in Sandy Hook grey. A green glass backsplash in a random matte and polished pattern complements the cabinets which are faced with both painted wood and frosted glass. The Silestone countertops in the Lyra finish have an ogee bullnose edge. The floors are finished in a rich brown porcelain tile of varying sizes that are made to resemble distressed wood.

Eighteenth century farmhouse addition, including front porh, large farmhouse kitchen with original hand-hewn exposed beams, family room and 2 new upstairs bedrooms with Greek Revival windows. Raised roof at other end of house, creating extra bedroom headroom, resulting in modulations in roof height recalling the irregular rooflines of farmhouse tradition.

In this Maxtrix space we combined a bunk bed + loft bed for a space saving way to sleep three! Unique “L” shape fits perfectly in bedroom corner. Staircase is safe and easy to climb, plus each step doubles as a storage drawer. High height = extra headroom between stacked beds and more clearance beneath the loft. www.maxtrix.com

Small updates to this bathroom layout made a big impact. We moved the shower area out of the dormer to allow for much needed headroom. Under the dormer, new shelving was added for additional storage. The size of the vanity was extended and a half wall as added next to the toilet to keep it out of plain sight.

It was important to the homeowner to keep the integrity of this 1948 home — adding headroom and windows to the rooms on the second floor without changing the charm and proportions of the cottage. A small, spare bedroom is now a spacious master closet that is accessed from the bathroom. The second floor is modernized, the floor plan is streamlined, more comfortable and gracious.
