This project was all about resurfacing an existing deck, which provides a significant amount of benefits, including:
- Enhanced Aesthetics: A deck resurfacing project can transform the appearance of the deck, giving it a fresh and modern look that can significantly improve the curb appeal of the entire home.
- Cost Savings: Resurfacing is often more cost-effective than completely rebuilding a deck. It allows homeowners to achieve a like-new appearance without the expense of a full replacement.
- Increased Durability: New materials used in resurfacing are designed to be more resistant to wear, fading, and the elements, resulting in a longer lifespan for the deck.
- Improved Safety: Addressing structural issues during the resurfacing process ensures the deck's safety and stability, reducing the risk of accidents.
- Less Disruption: Compared to a full deck replacement, resurfacing typically involves less disruption to the homeowner's daily routine, as it's a faster and less invasive process.
- Customization: Homeowners can choose from a wide range of materials, colors, and finishes to match their design preferences and complement their home's style.
- Environmentally Friendly: Resurfacing reduces the amount of old material that needs to be disposed of, making it a more environmentally conscious option.
By undertaking a deck resurfacing project, homeowners can rejuvenate their outdoor space, enjoy a beautiful and functional deck for years to come and increase the overall value of their property.

The renovation of this kitchen gave the homeowners a space that is refreshingly lighter and brighter: from dark cherry cabinets to rift cut white oak cabinets, from black granite to Taj Mahal quartzite countertops. Now practical in its flow, our kitchen design dramatically improved the functionality of the space as well as the amount of storage.
All the cabinets in this kitchen and dining room renovation are Grabill Custom Cabinetry: rift cut white oak with seaspray glaze.
The sparkling quartzite countertops are Taj Mahal, and the backsplash from Thomas Brick is called Windrift. The appliances are from Sub-Zero Wolf.

The kitchen island serves as a multifunctional centerpiece, thoughtfully integrating a drawer microwave, ample storage, and comfortable seating. Positioning the microwave within the island enhances accessibility and streamlines the cooking process, offering a sleek alternative to traditional countertop or over-the-range models. This design choice not only frees up valuable counter space but also contributes to a clean, uncluttered aesthetic. Incorporating a microwave into the island can improve kitchen workflow and provide a modern, streamlined appearance.
Beyond housing the microwave, the island offers generous storage solutions, accommodating cookware, utensils, and other essentials to maintain an organized kitchen environment. The inclusion of seating transforms the island into a social hub, inviting family and friends to gather for casual meals or engage in conversation during meal preparation. This harmonious blend of functionality and design underscores the island's role as both a practical workspace and a welcoming gathering spot within the home.

This custom cooking area in Indian Springs, The Woodlands, TX, was designed to combine professional performance with smart, organized storage. A Thermador range anchors the space, framed by custom white oak cabinetry, a handcrafted wood vent hood, and distinctive brick accents that bring warmth, texture, and architectural character to the kitchen.
Functionality was equally important in the cabinet design. Rev-A-Shelf organization systems were incorporated into the custom cabinetry to improve access and keep cooking essentials organized, with convenient storage for spices, utensils, cookware, and everyday kitchen items close to the range. These integrated solutions help maximize cabinet space while maintaining a clean, uncluttered appearance.
The combination of Thermador appliances, custom white oak cabinets, Rev-A-Shelf storage, custom vent hood, and brick detailing creates an efficient cooking zone where craftsmanship, organization, and timeless design work together. 2026 kitchen remodel in Indian Springs, The Woodlands, Texas, by SCM Design

The 1990’s renovation of this kitchen failed to capture the home’s original character and architectural style. Major structural and mechanical changes, including the complete removal of a load-bearing wall, opened design solutions to improve function and sight lines within the first floor. An abandoned space hidden by the previous renovation was restored to create an intimate seating area.
The kitchen was completely rearranged, redesigned, and dramatically furnished to achieve ideal form, flow, and function. Architectural details were carefully duplicated throughout. Greenfield brand cabinetry, creative lighting, and natural stone countertops are just a few of the details that complement the home’s original character.

Converting the former sunroom into four season space that flows with the rest of the home created a nook to lounge in and improved access and view of the rear yard. A mix match of white and blue cabinets, with the matching cambria quartz counters adds a fun mix to the conventional white kitchen.

This couple moved to Plano to be closer to their kids and grandchildren. When they purchased the home, they knew that the kitchen would have to be improved as they love to cook and gather as a family. The storage and prep space was not working for them and the old stove had to go! They loved the gas range that they had in their previous home and wanted to have that range again. We began this remodel by removing a wall in the butlers pantry to create a more open space. We tore out the old cabinets and soffit and replaced them with cherry Kraftmaid cabinets all the way to the ceiling. The cabinets were designed to house tons of deep drawers for ease of access and storage. We combined the once separated laundry and utility office space into one large laundry area with storage galore. Their new kitchen and laundry space is now super functional and blends with the adjacent family room.

"I want light and airy!" That was our design challenge in changing a dark depressing kitchen to a vibrant space for entertaining and enjoying the everyday. This beautiful light and airy kitchen was achieved through the use of light materials including white cabinetry with lots of glass featuring sweeping curved mullions, a majestic curved chimney hood, stunning white quartzite and stainless steel Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances. Function was also a cornerstone of the design with spaces created for seating, storage and serving. An old desk was replaced with a coffee bar station which doubles as a drink area when having guests. Natural light was improved along with energy efficient LED lighting to set the mood, especially at night. "We just love our transformed kitchen, it makes the house a home!"

Compact size, minimal contemporary kitchen in basement apartment. Grey quartz countertops, stainless still appliances and finishes, under the cabinets smart LED lights.

This spacious kitchen was ready for a refresh. Over time, it’s many cabinets had become cluttered with unnecessary items. We began by removing the peninsula’s upper and lower cabinets, which had divided the space in two, along with the small island that once housed the cooktop.
In their place, we introduced a large central island that now serves as a multifunctional hub—for prep, serving, and casual dining—while dramatically improving the kitchen’s traffic flow.
To create a true focal point, we added an elegant arch that mirrors the architectural arches found throughout the home. It feels like it was always meant to be there. Beneath it, we installed the range, now beautifully highlighted by a custom plaster hood that ties in the island’s dark gray accent color.
The new island is as functional as it is beautiful. Its curved countertop and reeded base soften the overall aesthetic, adding warmth and texture to the space.
The panel-ready refrigerator and freezer are centered between two cabinet-on-counter hutches. These hutches cleverly conceal small appliances, keeping them both accessible and out of sight. Thanks to pocket doors, they can remain open during use and closed for a clean, “company-ready” look at any time.

Designed by Angie Barwin of Reico Kitchen & Bath in Woodbridge, VA in collaboration with Potomac Home Improvements,, this mid-century modern inspired kitchen remodel features Merillat Masterpiece cabinets in the Epic door style in Cherry with a Chocolate finish.
Kitchen countertops are engineered quartz in the color Sparkling White by Q by MSI. The backsplash features Mosaic Home Clear Crystal Glass in Feather.
Said Angie, "Working with these clients was a privilege. Her home is a mid-century treasure. We designed a functional, minimalist kitchen with a nod to their taste and the home's period. One of the things the design really required was tall storage as her kitchen is a narrow galley. This was achieved by removing an existing desk area and replacing it with pantry cabinets with roll out shelves. We also added a deep drawer combination, one of my personal favorites, as it has so much versatility. The chocolate stain adds warmth and integrity to the design and space."
