This was one of the smallest, darkest, most disorganized kitchens I've ever seen. They often sat out on the old deck just get some room. . .even in hot or cold weather. The solution was to expand out and make the deck area a year around room fully integrated into the climate controlled living space. The kitchen could now be expanded and brought up to modern standards.

The vanity, commode, and shower spaces in this master bath were cramped and uncomfortable. We expanded this bath within the existing square footage by using part of an exceptionally large bedroom. The window was originally in the commode compartment added to the overall dreariness of it. Walls were removed and repositioned to create a far more open feel. The vanities now provide far more storage and efficiency, not to mention beauty. And the really spectacular element we a huge shower area with 3 positions for bathing. It works well for mom and dad and their 3 teenage boys use it, as well.

This kitchen was a disaster. Too small for the very nice house that it was part of, the solution was to bump it out 6'. Large skylights were added along with furniture grade cabinetry giving it an elegant appeal. Also many fine details make this a tremendously appealing kitchen.

While all 1900 square feet in the house has been transformed, additional space was still sought out. This bump out extension of the living room not only provides a bright wonderful place in which to relax. It also ties the interior and exterior living spaces together visually.

Patio - large traditional backyard patio idea in Raleigh with a pergola and decking

This kitchen mixes maple and cherry woods to create a warm, inviting workspace. The transformation from "Ugly Ducking" to radiant "Swan" is nothing short of miraculous. The degree of engineering and structural skill to pull this off was truly impressive.
