Mary came to us looking to update her kitchen utilizing the same layout. She wanted to create a lighter and brighter feel, while highlighting unique features. We were able to achieve this by installing 2 tone colored cabinets using Grabill custom cabinets. For the base cabinets and pantry cabinet Mary selected true blue glaze as the color, and super white for her wall cabinets. Also, in the wall angled cabinet, Mary wanted a glass enhancement to showcase certain items. For the countertop, Cambria’s Seagrove was used. The look was tied together with Emer’s Logic gray gloss 3” x 6” subway tile. Other materials used include; Blanco’s Ikon apron front sink in metallic gray, delta’s hand free esque kitchen faucet, and Lydia t-shape knobs (wall and upper pantry doors) and Lydia pulls (base and lower pantry doors).

Referred by our client across the street, this project was one for the books! It started out just as a laundry room, that then included the back garage entry, that migrated to the owner's suite, that then logically had to include the remaining powder that was located between the spaces. For the laundry we removed the second powder bath on the main level, as well as a closet and rearranged the layout so that the once tiny room was double in size with storage and a refrigerator. For the mudroom we removed the classic bifold closet and made it a built-in locker unit.​ We tied the two spaces together with a tiled floor and pocket door. For the powder we just did cosmetic updates, including a bold navy vanity and fun wallpaper.

This interior door model would be a perfect fit as a swing, pocket, bypass, bi-fold or barn door. In certain ancient cultures, a single vertical band of light was used to represent unflagging wisdom, keen discernment, and impeccable logic; a voice of reason shining through the fog of muddled circumstances. Listen, my friend, it seems to say, do not let external influences cloud your judgment. Any smoke-and-mirrors scheme must leave you unimpressed. No amount of honey-tongued poppycock can distract you, nor make you deviate from the path of your choosing. You are in control of the situation, and your decisions are solid because they are entirely your own, based on your experience and your ability to tell the difference between truth and falsehood. Pretty cool, isn’t it? The sheer elegance of this interior door is quite something.

This is the 4th space that we have designed for this great couple. I was elated to find out that they have a new member to their family and they needed help designing their new family space! Their unfinished walkout basement was the logical space to remodel. We maximized every inch of this unfinished space. Our clients goal was to add additional living space and full bathroom- mission accomplished! I worked with my client and their contractor designing and space planning. The results are: two new home offices, a workout space, closed storage area, kids space ,lounging area and full bath! The beautifully designed Pottery barn furniture, Sherwin Williams whites on the walls, modern farmhouse accents and minimalist decor allows for this family to use every inch of their home.. The additional usable and beautifully designed square footage is priceless.

Talk about a huge change in appearance! The larger shower nearly doubled the enclosure size. The new space now has a clean, modern look, and we loved being a part of the transformation! Sometimes a bathroom only provides a certain amount of space with no logical way of making the room larger. While you can typically make a space larger, this kind of project can be cost prohibitive. Our clients faced that challenge with their master bathroom. While coming up with a game plan, they decided that installing a larger shower would definitely help the cause. Our client chose an awesome black and white penny tile for the floor that paired perfectly with the other fixture selections and subway tile. Matte black finishes provide a clean, sleek look to any bathroom. We completed the new master bathroom with a vanity, shower door and other fixtures. Always feel free to think outside of the box when imagining your next project. Give A+ Home Improvements a call to get your project started today!! We look forward to working with you.

The garden borders a natural reserve, and the whole area’s character is determined by beech and birch forests and heaths. The design was chosen to define a garden that is not subject to time and trends. The sleek lines come into a beautiful contrast with the natural shapes of the edges of the woodland. The slopes of ornamental grasses are a reference to the lush moors of the surrounding fields. The most logical place for the pool would have been right next to the house, but as a landscape designer, I chose to place the swimming pool deep in the garden. This totally changes the perception of the garden as a whole. By making a path to somewhere, you amplify the emotion that place rouses. The pool and the bathhouse* are now amongst the planes of ornamental grasses, next to the edge of the woodland. As a result, you get to feel as part of nature. Strong horizontal lines tune in the proportions of the house with the proportions of the garden and landscape. Thus, the garden is continued in its surroundings and makes use of the horizontal lines to anchor itself into the area. *The concept of the swimming pool and bathhouse design was developed in collaboration with BOS architects.

I love the balance and common sense of old homes. I like antique details and modern amenities; quiet corners, open floorplans; family gatherings, and "me" space. Energy efficiency, lots of daylight and views, solar energy whenever we can. I like the term “adaptive reuse.” We demoed the 1960s addition, salvaged all the lumber, built on its footprint, and went up one story to create the master suite. The first floor is all letting the kitchen and eating areas flow right outside. We captured the best views, brought in tons of daylight, and made the farmhouse easily accessible, with circulation around both sides of the central stairway. A mudroom and laundry were placed logically where the family went to and from the garage and yard, and a more “formal” entrance for guests (and clean feet) made accessible to the driveway via a stone patio and perennial garden. The house became the study, family room, and bedrooms. A window at the top of the central stairway became the doorway to the master suite. Thick, super-insulated walls and ultra-high efficiency electric heat pumps made this very affordable to heat and cool, and with a future Solar Electric system across the yard and behind the garage, it will be a Net-Zero energy home.
