We designed this space to open up the closets by knocking down those non load bearing walls, and refreshing everything else to make it more contemporary while maintaining a client-preferred traditional character.

We created this mid-size trendy bathroom by refurbishing existing vanity and fixtures. White subway tiles were wrapped around the bathroom with grey porcelain tiles. The floor tiles bear a resemblance to brush strokes of watercolors, creating a flow in the space. We installed a new soaking bathtub with a frameless barn shower door to add to the unique look. The tile pattern and neutral colors help elongate the space and make it feel bigger. As a part of this renovation, we carved out a small laundry space in the hallway closet. Full size stacked washer and dryer fit perfectly and can be easily enclosed. --- Project designed by Skokie renovation firm, Chi Renovations & Design - general contractors, kitchen and bath remodelers, and design & build company.

BEFORE Picture So, what resulted was a magnificent kitchen, allowing for additional walls of cabinets and a grand island. It is a joy to join master carpenters and owners with a dream. Everyone has fun. A preexisting brick wall was removed between the kitchen and the Family Room. Another wall was removed between the Kitchen and the Dining Room. Steel beam and columns were then installed. Beautiful crown molding enhanced the cabinetry. Lighting fixtures, under cabinet lights, in cabinet lights, pendant lights, and back splash tile were finishing touches. A new Red Oak floor was installed and finished. So... that is what happened with this family's dream. General Contractor: ED Enterprises, Inc. Photography: Mike Kaskel Photography

Remove bearing walls in vaulted areas to create open space concept kitchen, dining and living room spaces to all enjoy the views of the huge linear gas rock fireplace. Once the space was opened up the owner decided to do both bathrooms since the flooring would now flow through them as well.

Our clients bought this 20-year-old mountain home after it had been on the market for six years. Their tastes were simple, mid-century contemporary, and the previous owners tended toward more bright Latin wallpaper aesthetics, Corinthian columns, etc. The home’s many levels are connected through several interesting staircases. The original, traditional wooden newel posts, balusters and handrails, were all replaced with simpler cable railings. The fireplace was wrapped in rustic, reclaimed wood. The load-bearing wall between the kitchen and living room was removed, and all new cabinets, counters, and appliances were installed.

This single-story golf course home encompasses four bedrooms, five full/two half bathrooms, chef’s kitchen, library, theater/media room, covered loggia with alfresco kitchen, swimming pool with spa and three-car air-conditioned garage. Transitional archways, coffered ceilings, crown moldings, wainscoting details, custom built-ins, meticulous floor plan design and rich materials of marble, stone and hardwood make this home spectacular. The home greets with its curved entry, marble foyer and gallery which unfolds onto the living room with stone fireplace and Brazilian cherry hardwood flooring. Also featured are a theater/media room, formal dining room, 700-bottle, climate-controlled wine room and gourmet kitchen with vaulted cypress ceiling. A family room with bay windows and French doors leads to the covered loggia with summer kitchen and dining area. The master wing includes a separate sitting room, walk-in wardrobes, morning bar and separate his and her bathrooms with volume ceilings, built-in vanities, freestanding pedestal soaking tub and huge glazed showers. The home is perfectly appointed and another example of Marc Julien Homes’ commitment to perfection.

Looking toward the kitchen and back entry. We remodeled this kitchen to bring needed updates and to open up the kitchen into the living space. The living room used to be separated from the kitchen by a wall and lowered by a few steps. We removed the load-bearing wall and replaced it with a beautiful rustic wood beam, and we raised the living room floor to be level with the kitchen. The old wood paneling was replaced with drywall and painted to brighten the space. The fireplace was reconfigured with a new mantel, new brick pieced in to match the existing brick where we moved the mantel, and new built-in cabinetry featuring custom pull-out file drawers, space for the TV, and shelves for books.

This renovation completely transformed the main floor, basement, and second-floor bathroom of this 1900 sqft home, converting it into a luxurious living space geared towards the client's lifestyle. On the main floor, two load bearing walls were opened up with flush beams installed. The ceilings were completely demolished, new pot lights were installed, and smooth ceilings were created throughout the entire main floor space. The curved and basement staircases were fully replaced along with new handrails and spindles. All new red oak hardwood was installed, along with new kitchen cabinets, Cambria countertops, and a tile fireplace mantle. In the basement area, a new built-in was installed which allows space for a home office. The second-floor bathroom was completely renovated, removing an old tub and replacing it with a custom tiled shower.
