Overview Whole house refurbishment, double storey wrap around extension and large loft conversion. The Brief Create a WOW factor space, add glamour and fun and give the house a street side and garden side, both different. Our Solution This project was exciting from the start, the client wanted to entertain in a WOW factor space, have a panoramic view of the garden (which was to be landscaped), add bedrooms and a great master suite. We had some key elements to introduce such as an aquarium separating two rooms; double height spaces and a gloss kitchen, all of which manifest themselves in the completed scheme. Architecture is a process taking a schedule of areas, some key desires and needs, mixing the functionality and creating space. New spaces transform a house making it more valuable, giving it kerb appeal and making it feel like a different building. All of which happened at Ailsa Road.

When our clients moved into their already built home they decided to live in it for a while before making any changes. Once they were settled they decided to hire us as their interior designers to renovate and redesign various spaces of their home. As they selected the spaces to be renovated they expressed a strong need for storage and customization. They allowed us to design every detail as well as oversee the entire construction process directing our team of skilled craftsmen. The home is a traditional home so it was important for us to retain some of the traditional elements while incorporating our clients style preferences. Custom designed by Hartley and Hill Design. All materials and furnishings in this space are available through Hartley and Hill Design. www.hartleyandhilldesign.com 888-639-0639 Neil Landino Photography

Our clients were in the process of building their home in Roselle, Illinois and were looking for a cabinet maker to work with for cabinetry in their kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry room. All custom cabinetry is frameless full overlay. In the kitchen we finished the perimeter with Benjamin Moore White and the island in Gray. The master bathroom vanity is built with a natural oak and horizontal gray on the slab doors. The Jack & Jill vanity has a shaker door style and finished in Benjamin Moore Naval. Lastly, the en suite bathroom vanity also has a shaker door style and finished in Sherwin Williams Essential gray.

This was a builder-grade primary bathroom and closet with dated finishes, an awkward layout and annoying doors that swung into the walkways. It was time to give these spaces a complete overhaul to create a retreat that was both functional and luxurious. Our clients wanted to improve traffic flow, storage space and eliminate the tub they knew they’d never use. This is the second home for our clients who live in California. They bought this house to have a place to stay when visiting their grandchildren. As the design process started, Covid-19 shutdowns threatened to derail the entire project. We quickly pivoted to a virtual design process to keep the project moving forward toward completion.

True Hardwood Flooring THE TRUE DIFFERENCE The new True hardwood flooring collection is truly amazing with stunning colors and features. Hallmark Floors is the first to master this revolutionary technology of replicating “the bog-wood process” that occurs when logs lie buried in lakes, river, and waterways for hundreds of years, deprived of oxygen and sunlight. This process in nature can take centuries for the wood to turn from its natural color to deep golden brown or even completely black. Hallmark has emulated nature’s methods to create saturated colors throughout the top layer, creating stunning, weathered patinas. True bog-wood, driftwood, and weathered barn wood are all very rare. These cherished wood treasures are in high demand worldwide for use in furniture and flooring. Now Hallmark has made these prized finishes available to everyone through our True hardwood flooring collection.

Door style: Arlington | Species: Cherry | Finish: Vintage Autumn The handsome master bath takes on its own personality with the lovely Showplace Vintage Autumn finish. This hand-crafted, multi-step process includes special finish and distressing techniques to create the look of graceful aging. The marble floor and tops complement the tumbled stone walls and shower to create a setting that is both elegant and comfortable. Note how a light fixture was attached to the large mirror, with wiring through the mirror into the wall. Five additional lights are above the vanity.

s an expert general contractor, our approach to renovating the kitchen and two bathrooms, including the master bath, is centered on a seamless blend of functionality, aesthetics, and quality craftsmanship. Kitchen Renovation: We begin by collaborating closely with the homeowner to understand their vision, needs, and budget for the kitchen renovation. Our team carefully assesses the existing layout, identifying opportunities to optimize space and improve flow. We execute a meticulous demolition process, removing old cabinetry, countertops, flooring, and appliances. With a focus on modernizing the kitchen, we install high-quality materials such as custom cabinetry, granite or quartz countertops, and durable hardwood or tile flooring. State-of-the-art appliances are integrated seamlessly into the design, ensuring both functionality and style. We pay attention to details such as lighting fixtures, backsplashes, and hardware to enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of the kitchen. Bathroom Renovations: For the two bathrooms and the master bath, we prioritize creating spa-like retreats that offer both comfort and luxury. Each bathroom renovation begins with a comprehensive assessment of the existing layout and plumbing. We collaborate closely with the homeowner to select fixtures, finishes, and materials that align with their preferences and lifestyle. Our skilled craftsmen install new tile flooring, shower surrounds, and vanities, paying careful attention to precision and detail. In the master bath, we may incorporate additional features such as a spacious walk-in shower, a freestanding soaking tub, or custom-built cabinetry for enhanced storage. We ensure that each bathroom renovation is completed to the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship, delivering spaces that are not only beautiful but also functional and durable. Throughout the entire renovation process, our team prioritizes clear communication, attention to detail, and respect for the homeowner's property. We strive to exceed expectations at every step, delivering stunning kitchen and bathroom renovations that enhance the overall value and enjoyment of the home.
