I met Kelly & Wally when I moved to the shore many moons ago and we instantly clicked. She gave me full reign on design, so I modeled her new kitchen off of her personality…fun & glamorous with a splash of the unexpected. During the reno she became a proud grandmother, hence “Glammy”. We couldn’t stop there, we also gutted her hall bath, what an upgrade. The biggest obstacle was an “L” shaped wall, so Overholt Contracting said no problem, we’ll get rid of the walls! Then we tore out both pantries to flank her new Thermador® appliances, while keeping her walk in pantry under the stairs. The stairs also got a facelift with beautiful new cable rail. From the Cambria® single slab island counter to the Waterstone® “Super Soaker 4000” she truly has it all. All the doggies love their new space as well.

2011 National NARI CotY Southeast Regional Award Winner, Residential Universal Design Middle age family in Fairfax, Virginia faced obstacles in their 1980’s home. The home design was dysfunctional by client home’s narrow hall ways and small bathrooms with unusable tubs and tight spacing where two people could not use it at the same time. Clients desperately needed a more fully accessible laundry, bedroom, and spacious bathroom that could be accommodating their needs for today and as well as the future. We built a 10’ x 40’ first floor room and bath to the back of the home with a full new spacious bedroom with new high efficiency gas fireplace. In addition to the bedroom the space provided a new full bathroom. Also, built out new screened-in porch with railing and handles, trex decking and low maintenance synthetic trims and ceiling panels

Rutter Project Management won for Walnut Creek in Ellicott City, MD. The Community consists of 160 one-acre cluster lots on well and septic. The original parcel included a forest recycling center, an airport, a nursery, a graveyard, several family owned homes and structures, streams, forest, and several high pressure gas main crossings from three different companies, an enormous obstacle in the development of the property.Unique to this project was the ability to avoid impacts to stream buffers and forest areas. With the purchase of additional density through the Howard County Density Exchange Program, the project is responsible for the permanent preservation of more than 524 acres of land. By importing density, and preserving 17 properties throughout western Howard County, the overall existing community now benefits by having 21 percent more land preserved than the original parcel included.

Over here at A+ Home Improvements, we worked with a client on their custom kitchen renovation. Our client owned a beautiful, large historical home that had incurred multiple changes throughout its lifespan. While the home offered extremely cool characteristics, it wasn't the most level thing in the world. The existing kitchen space included unused desk space and outdated cabinets and fixtures. One of the biggest obstacles, however, were the out of square walls.

Caroline Kopp transformed a small, beat up space and cleverly overcame the obstacle of an an awkward radiator that did not allow room for furniture, in this charming entryway for a client in Irvington, NY. A custom floating cream lacquer console perfectly fills the space and draws the eye away from the radiator. The beautiful custom mirror enlarges the small entry while the backdrop of grasscloth walls bring texture and interest to this elegant vignette. Tasteful accessories and a functional catchall tray complete the look. Rikki Snyder

A modern update to this condo built in 1966 with a gorgeous view of Emigration Canyon in Salt Lake City. Concrete structural columns and walls were an obstacle to incorporate into the design. White conversion varnish finish on maple raised panel doors. Counter top is Blue Flowers granite with mitered edge. Walnut floating shelves with recessed led lighting. Professional refrigerator and freezer set next to pantry cabinet with roll-out trays.

This Renovation was given a complete overhaul including additions to the home. During the planning stages of this home we had so many structural obstacles to contend with, but ended up being the most interesting and unique parts to the home. Our approach for this home was to have a modern organic feeling with Asian influence. The design process began in the kitchen and as the kitchen took on its own personality the other design elements throughout the home carried thru to a clean and classic modern style.
