Seeking to make this room comfortable year round not only was the wainscot insulated below the new energy efficient windows, The vaulted ceiling was also insulated and was given a rustic feel with cedar wood paneling.

Before – Kitchen: Outdated, Dark, and in Need of an Upgrade
The original kitchen featured dark, outdated cabinets and countertops that made the space feel closed in and uninviting. The layout lacked functionality and modern lighting. This renovation transformed the kitchen into a brighter, more efficient space—with the addition of a pantry for improved storage and under-cabinet LED lighting to enhance visibility in the prep area.

Invisible Shield® Pro-15 was applied to aquatic exhibits, guard fencing, and other high-touch areas to make cleaning faster, more efficient and overall to improve the surface appearance.

Before the remodeling of this traditional kitchen, we had laminate galore and everything was white. We gave the kitchen a more homey feel with these Dove White Kraftmaid cabinets, bricklay backsplash and tile flooring.

A beautifully restored home with upgraded systems, improved energy efficiency, and a clean contemporary aesthetic. The new screened porch extends the kitchen and living space and integrates seamlessly with the mountain setting.

Winner of the 2018 Tour of Homes Best Remodel, this whole house re-design of a 1963 Bennet & Johnson mid-century raised ranch home is a beautiful example of the magic we can weave through the application of more sustainable modern design principles to existing spaces.
We worked closely with our client on extensive updates to create a modernized MCM gem.
Extensive alterations include:
- a completely redesigned floor plan to promote a more intuitive flow throughout
- vaulted the ceilings over the great room to create an amazing entrance and feeling of inspired openness
- redesigned entry and driveway to be more inviting and welcoming as well as to experientially set the mid-century modern stage
- the removal of a visually disruptive load bearing central wall and chimney system that formerly partitioned the homes’ entry, dining, kitchen and living rooms from each other
- added clerestory windows above the new kitchen to accentuate the new vaulted ceiling line and create a greater visual continuation of indoor to outdoor space
- drastically increased the access to natural light by increasing window sizes and opening up the floor plan
- placed natural wood elements throughout to provide a calming palette and cohesive Pacific Northwest feel
- incorporated Universal Design principles to make the home Aging In Place ready with wide hallways and accessible spaces, including single-floor living if needed
- moved and completely redesigned the stairway to work for the home’s occupants and be a part of the cohesive design aesthetic
- mixed custom tile layouts with more traditional tiling to create fun and playful visual experiences
- custom designed and sourced MCM specific elements such as the entry screen, cabinetry and lighting
- development of the downstairs for potential future use by an assisted living caretaker
- energy efficiency upgrades seamlessly woven in with much improved insulation, ductless mini splits and solar gain

Embarking on a garage remodeling project is a transformative endeavor that can significantly enhance both the functionality and aesthetics of the space.
By investing in tailored storage solutions such as cabinets, wall-mounted organizers, and overhead racks, one can efficiently declutter the area and create a more organized storage system. Flooring upgrades, such as epoxy coatings or durable tiles, not only improve the garage's appearance but also provide a resilient surface.
Adding custom workbenches or tool storage solutions contributes to a more efficient and user-friendly workspace. Additionally, incorporating proper lighting and ventilation ensures a well-lit and comfortable environment.
A remodeled garage not only increases property value but also opens up possibilities for alternative uses, such as a home gym, workshop, or hobby space, making it a worthwhile investment for both practicality and lifestyle improvement.
