Having a space for their teenage kids to hang out after school, study and interact with Mom & Dad was at the top of the list for this remodel. The 1928 home, sits in a lovely Glen Ellyn neighborhood, near downtown and near all the action of the local high school and lake. It’s was a great house with great bones but the kitchen was in need of some TLC. The remodel project had been a long time coming, and since both the homeowners work from home, they had been nervous about disrupting their bustling daily schedules to get the project in motion.
Once we had a plan in place, we dug in and got to work. The first step was to remove a non-load bearing wall between the kitchen and dining room. We then reworked the space a bit, eliminating a redundant passage way to the hall, and reworking a closet to allow for a large galley style kitchen and small bar area open to the dining room. The new kitchen has a small peninsula for the family to have casual meals and for the kids to hang out after school. A window was eliminated to give more space for cabinetry and storage, and another window was made larger to allow for a grander view into the backyard.
We decided upon a layered approach to this space to provide character appropriate to the older home. White painted cabinetry provides a backdrop for interesting touches such as gray herringbone tile, a reeded farmhouse sink and bronze hardware and lighting. The bar has its own unique look featuring gray cabinetry with a patterned cement tile backsplash and walnut top. A bar fridge, glass cabinets and baskets for tucking away homework give this little multi-functional area loads of character. A miniature mudroom area was also added to the dining room so that the new space can be kept neat and tidy.
The stylish result looks both appropriate to the 1928 home and provides loads of functionality for this active family that can now take advantage of every square inch their home.

We took this kitchen out of the 70's and into the present. Our client wanted an approachable, and homey space to gather with family and friends. In turn, we gathered inspiration from French country kitchens to guide our design. Removing a load barring wall was the key to expanding the functionality and the feel of this kitchen. Materials also played a major role in achieving harmony. We aimed to create texture by layering leathered Taj Mahal quartzite and brushed marble herringbone along the backsplash. Contrasting the buttery pallet of the stones, we sourced fixtures and accents with bronze and polished nickel finishes. A white oak island was also a subtle star, adding just enough warmth and sense of comfort into the gathering place.

This laundry room project took a simple average laundry room and turned it into a high end traditional laundry room with built-in machines. The walls have gray marble laid in a subway pattern. The laundry machines are topped with galaxy granite, allowing for a spacious place to fold clothes. To the right of the laundry machines is an under mount stainless steel deep laundry tub for soaking. To the left of the laundry machines. The client opted for a beer bar displaying their beer stein collection over a built-in wine refrigerator housing exotic beers. The end result of this project is a multi functional space. This project was designed by David Bauer and built by Cornerstone Builders of Southwest Florida

A leaky garden tub is replaced by a walk-in shower featuring marble bullnose accents. The homeowner found the dresser on Craigslist and refinished it for a shabby-chic vanity with sleek modern vessel sinks. Beadboard wainscoting dresses up the walls and lends the space a chabby-chic feel.

On April 22, 2013, MainStreet Design Build began a 6-month construction project that ended November 1, 2013 with a beautiful 655 square foot addition off the rear of this client's home. The addition included this gorgeous custom kitchen, a large mudroom with a locker for everyone in the house, a brand new laundry room and 3rd car garage. As part of the renovation, a 2nd floor closet was also converted into a full bathroom, attached to a child’s bedroom; the formal living room and dining room were opened up to one another with custom columns that coordinated with existing columns in the family room and kitchen; and the front entry stairwell received a complete re-design.
