Typical of many bi-level homes built in the 1970's, this house featured a separate kitchen and dining room... both SMALL. The kitchen was dimly lit, with dark oak cabinets, green countertops, and a dated vinyl floor. The wall between the rooms was removed and doorways to the living room were widened. The soffit above the cabinets was also torn out. This brand new space also features hardwood floors and upgraded lighting. Custom Gunstock maple cabinets fit the client's style while offering plenty of storage. Quartz countertops and a light-colored porcelain backsplash add additional light to the room.

Whenever possible sill and threshold conditions are developed to create the minimal transition between interior and exterior walking surfaces. The majority of our projects have cut or cast stone threshold treatments. Some extruded sill solutions can be introduced if needed. Outswing doors typically have a step down from interior to exterior. Inswing door sills typically need a raised threshold to prevent water blowing in. Sliding doors have top hung floor guides that are flush to finish floor and offer the most seamless transition while still acting as a water return. Bottom rolling sliding doors have a water return guide track that sits a subtle 3/16" above finish floor for a near flush transition. Whenever weather exposure is a concern, drain slots should be added to the inswing sill designs. Extreme weather environments need more extreme measures and coordination with waterproofing consultants. #JadaSteelWindows

Creating a New demand for random width, by using tomorrows technology, has lead to the development of the Monterey Hardwood Collection. Available in maple and hickory, with a combined width of 4”, 6”, and 8” and random lengths up to 6’. Using proprietary Trueslice® technology, Hallmark is producing a very stable 2mm sliced face on a 1/2” thick (total) engineered plank making it simply savvy. The slice face visuals mimic that of sawn face with a tighter, higher-end grain look than typical rotary cut products currently offered by the competition. Topped off with our incredibly durable Truemark Glaze Tek Poly Finish, Monterey is a definite game changer. Simply Better…Discover Why. http://hallmarkfloors.com/hallmark-hardwoods/monterey-hardwood-collection/

This summer travel season, we're especially inspired by the possibilities presented by the Barndominium - a unique style of home which has emerged as a popular "up north" family getaway concept over the last couple of years. Barndominiums are the product of large barn kits which are converted into a living space. They tend to be affordable, low-maintenance, and energy efficient houses that typically include a large attached garage. For large families and outdoor enthusiasts, the allure of the barndominium is clear - it combines a cottage-like, open-concept living space with a large attached garage capable of accommodating all of your vacation toys! We recently had the pleasure of helping make one Byron Center client's barndominium dream a reality. The home sits on several acres of northern Michigan land in which the family enjoys hunting, fishing, and all the recreational activities that the great outdoors have to offer.

Design ideas for a contemporary landscaping in Denver.

This dreamy master bath remodel in East Cobb offers generous space without going overboard in square footage. The homeowner chose to go with a large double vanity with a custom seated space as well as a nice shower with custom features and decided to forgo the typical big soaking tub. The vanity area shown in the photos has plenty of storage within the wall cabinets and the large drawers below. The countertop is Cedar Brown slab marble with undermount sinks. The brushed nickel metal details were done to work with the theme through out the home. The floor is a 12x24 honed Crema Marfil. The stunning crystal chandelier draws the eye up and adds to the simplistic glamour of the bath. The shower was done with an elegant combination of tumbled and polished Crema Marfil, two rows of Emperador Light inlay and Mirage Glass Tiles, Flower Series, Polished.

Large format tile had been typically used in large commercial applications, as it offers a very dramatic look and feel.Another bonus to a more minimal tile design is how easily it fits in with traditional and modern design styles. When used on walls, this tile fully replaces the need to repaint or update wallpaper as it is incredibly durable. Large format tile looks its best in more open areas or very large rooms. When getting proportions right, large tile can help a smaller space feel larger.
