This full-home remodel blends modern sophistication with functional comfort, creating a space that feels inviting, elegant, and beautifully cohesive. The kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring white cabinetry, a statement range hood, and a spacious granite island that anchors the open-concept layout. Subtle herringbone tile details and sleek pendant lighting add depth and warmth, while the adjoining dining area showcases custom millwork and soft neutral tones for a perfect balance of formality and ease. A butler’s pantry connects the kitchen to the entertaining spaces, offering additional storage, a beverage station, and glass-front cabinetry for display — proving that practicality and beauty can coexist effortlessly. Downstairs, the home transforms into an entertainer’s retreat with a luxurious theater room, complete with tiered seating and custom ceiling accents. The adjoining office space provides a quiet corner for productivity without sacrificing style. Bathrooms throughout the home feature elegant tilework, quartz and granite countertops, and thoughtful layouts — from a spa-like primary suite with a soaking tub and walk-in shower to a charming Jack-and-Jill bath designed for everyday family living. Finishes are clean, layered, and timeless: soft gray cabinetry, matte black and chrome fixtures, warm wood floors, and inviting textures that bring continuity throughout the home. From the laundry room’s efficient built-ins to the family room’s stone fireplace, every space was designed to feel lived-in yet elevated — a reflection of D&G Construction’s belief that great design starts with how you want to live, and ends with how beautifully it’s built.

H2D’s Magnolia Tudor project centered on a comprehensive interior remodel of this classic Tudor home, thoughtfully reimagined to enhance both functionality and comfort while preserving its traditional character. The main and upper floors were extensively renovated, including reconfiguration of walls to improve flow, natural light, and efficiency in the home. The kitchen was re-designed as the heart of the renovation, designed with modern amenities and timeless detailing that harmonizes with the home’s original style. The primary suite was fully transformed, accompanied by a carefully updated bathroom that blends classic materials with contemporary convenience. On the lower level, a cozy craft workshop was created, offering a warm and inspiring space tailored for creativity and personal projects. Throughout the home, finishes, fixtures, and architectural details were selected to remain true to the Tudor aesthetic—ensuring that each update feels cohesive, refined, and respectful of the home’s heritage while supporting the homeowner’s lifestyle. + Architecture: H2D Architecture + Design + Interior Design: H2D Architecture + Design + Builder: Crescent Builds + Photography: Anastasiya Homes

Laundry Day has never been so exciting! Our client was looking to increase form and functionality in their laundry room, taking it from bare bones to a fully finished space, offering multiple organic and earthy inspired aesthetic moments to be used for styling her work as a gardening influencer as well as practical functionality, storage and organization at home. To optimize functionality while creating a beautiful and inspiring space, we added storage all around, including lower cabinets and open shelving and upper cabinets to the ceiling, a gorgeous new vintage inspired sink grounded with decorative tonal backsplash, additional lighting, butcher block counter(s), a shelf framing the washer/dryer, and a hanging bar for drying..

Our clients in Tower Lakes, IL, needed more storage and functionality from their kitchen. They were primarily focused on finding the right combination of cabinets, shelves, and drawers that fit all their cookware, flatware, and appliances. They wanted a brighter, bigger space with a natural cooking flow and plenty of storage. Soffits and crown molding needed to be removed to make the kitchen feel larger. Redesign elements included: relocating the fridge, adding a baking station and coffee bar, and placing the microwave in the kitchen island. Advance Design Studio’s Claudia Pop offered functional, creative, and unique solutions to the homeowners’ problems. Our clients wanted a unique kitchen that was not completely white, a balance of design and function. Claudia offered functional, creative, and unique solutions to Chad and Karen’s kitchen design challenges. The first thing to go was soffits. Today, most kitchens can benefit from the added height and space; removing soffits is nearly always step one. Steely gray-blue was the color of choice for a freshly unique look bringing a sophisticated-looking space to wrap around the fresh new kitchen. Cherry cabinetry in a true brown stain compliments the stormy accents with sharp contrasting white Cambria quartz top balancing out the space with a dramatic flair. “We wanted something unique and special in this space, something none of the neighbors would have,” said Claudia. The dramatic veined Cambria countertops continue upward into a backsplash behind three complimentary open shelves. These countertops provide visual texture and movement in the kitchen. The kitchen includes two larder cabinets for both the coffee bar and baking station. The kitchen is now functional and unique in design. “When we design a new kitchen space, as designers, we are always looking for ways to balance interesting design elements with practical functionality,” Claudia said. “This kitchen’s new design is not only way more functional but is stunning in a way a piece of art can catch one’s attention.” Decorative mullions with mirrored inserts sit atop dual sentinel pantries flanking the new refrigerator, while a 48″ dual fuel Wolf range replaced the island cooktop and double oven. The new microwave is cleverly hidden within the island, eliminating the cluttered counter and attention-grabbing wall of stainless steel from the previous space. The family room was completely renovated, including a beautifully functional entertainment bar with the same combination of woods and stone as the kitchen and coffee bar. Mesh inserts instead of plain glass add visual texture while revealing pristine glassware. Handcrafted built-ins surround the fireplace. The beautiful and efficient design created by designer Claudia transitioned directly to the installation team seamlessly, much like the basement project experience Chad and Karen enjoyed previously. “We definitely will and have recommended Advance Design Studio to friends who are looking to embark on a project small or large,” Karen said. “Everything that was designed and built exactly how we envisioned it, and we are really enjoying it to its full potential,” Karen said. Our award-winning design team would love to create a beautiful, functional, and spacious place for you and your family.
