Masterful Wallpaper Installation Wicker Park: A Botanical Retreat Professional Craftsmanship in the Heart of Chicago When it comes to high-end interior design, Wallpaper Installation Wicker Park requires more than just a DIY spirit. It demands an eye for symmetry and a hand for precision. This recent project involved a complex, large-scale botanical pattern. Our goal was to create a seamless focal point behind a classic French-style headboard. Overcoming the Challenge Chicago’s historic homes often have walls that aren't perfectly square. This makes pattern matching extremely difficult. However, our team used laser levels to ensure a perfectly vertical start. Additionally, we handled the delicate paper with care to avoid over-stretching. We chose a high-tack, low-moisture adhesive. This prevents the paper from shrinking as it dries in our variable Chicago climate. Pro Tip for Chicago Homeowners: Always invest in a "wall liner" or high-quality primer before your Wallpaper Installation Wicker Park. This protects your drywall. Furthermore, it makes future removal much easier if you ever decide to change your style! See our full gallery of transformations: https://windypainters.com/wallpaper/

In this meticulously executed kitchen remodeling project, we transformed the space into a stunning open-plan design. Walls were skillfully removed, creating a seamless flow and maximizing the sense of openness. The centerpiece of the renovation is a spacious, well-crafted island that not only enhances functionality but also serves as a focal point, combining aesthetics with practicality. The attention to detail and thoughtful design choices make this kitchen a harmonious blend of beauty and functionality. In addition to the structural enhancements, this comprehensive kitchen remodel extends to the flooring, where luxurious vinyl planks have been seamlessly integrated, elevating both style and durability. The project also involved a modernization of the electrical infrastructure, with the meticulous replacement of outdated wiring and fixtures. A new ceiling, adorned with energy-efficient LED recessed lighting, further enhances the ambiance, providing both aesthetic appeal and functional illumination to complement the transformed space. This multifaceted approach ensures that every aspect of the kitchen aligns with contemporary design standards and functional efficiency.

The owners of this home sought to modernize and open the entire first floor, enabling an open kitchen and family room concept. With this first floor remodel, we created a contemporary space by removing all of the interior walls, reinforcing the roof structure and raising the ceiling height four feet. This remodel involved sleek custom black walnut cabinets, radius walls with niches in the entryway and a three-sided contemporary gas fireplace.

This Kirkland, WA deck resurfacing and repair project involved extensive structural upgrades and a complete transformation of the deck's appearance while preserving the existing framework where possible. The scope included removing an aging hot tub, demolishing an existing half wall, and replacing it with a modern aluminum cable railing system to improve views and safety. Areas of siding affected by the half wall were repaired and restored to create a clean, finished appearance. Due to moisture-related wear, 12 deck joists and their hangers were replaced as part of the structural rehabilitation. The deck, which features approximately 300 square feet of elevated surface reaching nearly 16 feet above grade, required careful material handling and installation due to steep terrain and limited side-yard access. The existing decking was replaced with premium TimberTech Terrain composite decking in Vintage Weathered Teak, creating a low-maintenance outdoor living space with the warmth and character of natural wood. New picture-framed borders and finishing details enhanced the overall appearance, while strategic fascia installation was completed on visible interior step-down areas. The result is a safer, stronger, and more visually appealing deck that maximizes the property's views while providing years of low-maintenance performance.

This tired kitchen needed an update for some serious cooks moving in. A young couple, accompanied by her Mother, were used to cooking three fresh meals each day, utilizing almost every appliance and cooking utensil to be found. I started by blowing out the space, scraping the peninsula and all that was left was a custom stainless range hood to begin with. The clients needs were 2 36" Refrigerators and only 2 freezer drawers. Hence, fresh cooking. The number of large appliances was so great that we decided to use flush front cabinets to yield clean lines and remove focus from the multitude of appliances. The 12' island housed 2 freezer drawers, a steam oven, a warming drawer, and a drawer microwave oven along with seating for 4 mid-way along the island. Authentic Quartzite was the only choice for these cooks who had no time to worry of stains.A wood look floor was desired, but not practical and I used a 7" x 48" wood tile plank. Opposite the stove is a TV and sitting area for those wanting to be a part of the action, but not involved. Photography by Jonn Spradlin

These clients requested a first-floor makeover of their home involving an outdated sunroom and a new kitchen, as well as adding a pantry, locker area, and updating their laundry and powder bath. The new sunroom was rebuilt with a contemporary feel that blends perfectly with the home’s architecture. An abundance of natural light floods these spaces through the floor to ceiling windows and oversized skylights. An existing exterior kitchen wall was removed completely to open the space into a new modern kitchen, complete with custom white painted cabinetry with a walnut stained island. Just off the kitchen, a glass-front "lighted dish pantry" was incorporated into a hallway alcove. This space also has a large walk-in pantry that provides a space for the microwave and plenty of compartmentalized built-in storage. The back-hall area features white custom-built lockers for shoes and back packs, with stained a walnut bench. And to round out the renovation, the laundry and powder bath also received complete updates with custom built cabinetry and new countertops. The transformation is a stunning modern first floor renovation that is timeless in style and is a hub for this growing family to enjoy for years to come.

The photographs below are from a bathroom in Maida Vale W9 which had a lovely Slate tiled wall over a bath with shower. Unfortunately, the Slate tiles had been ruined by the use of harsh cleaning chemicals in an attempt to remove the limescale caused by hard water. The slate had now lost all its natural colour and looked completely washed out. The property had recently changed hands and the new owner was keen to have it renovated. I went over to take a look and work out a solution, this in itself is a lot trickier these days with all the COVID precautions we need to take when working in someone’s house. It was clear that a strong acidic limescale remover had been used on the slate and this had etched the stone, leached all the natural oils away and generally ruined its appearance. Fortunately, we have a solution for this (see below) and after conducting a small test I was able to confirm the problem could be resolved and gave them a quote which included a day’s labour, abrasive pads, stone oil and sealer. Our quote was gratefully accepted, and we booked a time in to carry out the work. I returned to the property and I set about burnishing the slate wall tiles using a very coarse 200-grit six-inch burnishing pad fitted to a handheld buffing machine. This process resurfaces the stone slightly to remove the etching caused by the limescale remover. I used a medium dilution of Tile Doctor Grout Clean-up to lubricate the process and to remove the remaining limescale. Once done the slurry that is generated is rinsed off with more water. In a bathroom, it is easy the slurry can just be drained away. In other areas we would use a wet vacuum. After the 200-grit pad the surface of the Slate was further refined using a 400-grit pad and then an 800-grit pad, this time only using water and giving the stone a thorough rinse after each pad to remove the soil. The slate was then left to dry off over lunch and given more encouragement with a heat gun afterwards so I could move onto the next step. This involved applying a coat of Tile Doctor Stone Oil which puts back the natural oils back into the stone improving its appearance. Once the Stone Oil had fully dried, I moved onto sealing for which I applied two coats of Tile Doctor Ultra-Seal; this is penetrating sealer that soaks into the stone to provide maximum stain protection without changing the colour of the stone. It is also an excellent grout sealer which is a bonus. Before leaving I talked the client about how best to maintain the Slate and left them a complimentary bottle of Tile Doctor Aqua Pro tile cleaner which will help keep the limescale at bay. It is gentle enough to use every day but will help prevent the previous build-up and unlike the previous products used will not damage the newly applied sealer.
