These clients loved the historic details of their classic Portland Bungalow, but wished for modern updates to improve livability. We were able to capture square footage to the kitchen by removing an unused chimney allowing us to increase additional work surface with the addition of a narrow island. Where traffic flow previously moved directly across the work triangle, the new layout keeps cooking activities within one zone of the kitchen and shifting traffic flow to another zone, allowing their daughter and four-legged family members to run through the space freely! High-end appliances create a luxury cooking experience. Crisp surfaces and colors create a light and bright space while classically sized crown and trim profiles draw the eye up and around the room offering a feeling of expanse in a modestly sized footprint. The blue and white color pallet offer a subtle reminder to coastal and tropical environments … the client’s favorite place to escape!

Black siding transformed this home in Maple Grove. This project left a lasting impression, transforming a home with worn and outdated vinyl siding which had been damaged by hail and Minnesota’s harsh climate, in a lakeside retreat. The homeowners sought a fresh look that would elevate both the aesthetic and functionality of their property, making the most of the beautiful lakeside views. The first major update involved replacing the tired vinyl siding with James Hardie board and batten siding in the striking Shou Sugi Ban color. This deep, rich color brings an elegant, modern look to the home, offering both timeless appeal and exceptional durability. The board and batten style adds texture and sophistication, making the home stand out in the neighborhood. To complement the dark siding, light-colored cultured stone was added to the front and lakeside, creating a beautiful contrast and enhancing the home’s curb appeal. The cultured stone not only adds a natural, rustic feel but also integrates seamlessly with the overall design, providing a warm, inviting entrance and lakeside view. Another key element of the remodel was the transformation of the home’s windows. A bank of smaller windows was removed, replaced by a massive Marvin window that now serves as the focal point of the living room, offering unobstructed views of the serene lake. The project also included the removal of several diamond-shaped windows and a six-foot patio door, which were replaced with a sleek 16-foot patio door. This new installation opened up the space, flooding the home with natural light and creating a seamless connection between the interior and the outdoor beauty of the lake. With these updates, the home in Maple Grove is now a stunning showcase of modern design and functionality, blending sophisticated materials with breathtaking views.

THE PROBLEM Our client had recently purchased a beautiful home on the Merrimack River with breathtaking views. Unfortunately the views did not extend to the primary bedroom which was on the front of the house. In addition, the second floor did not offer a secondary bathroom for guests or other family members. THE SOLUTION Relocating the primary bedroom with en suite bath to the front of the home introduced complex framing requirements, however we were able to devise a plan that met all the requirements that our client was seeking. In addition to a riverfront primary bedroom en suite bathroom, a walk-in closet, and a new full bathroom, a small deck was built off the primary bedroom offering expansive views through the full height windows and doors. Updates from custom stained hardwood floors, paint throughout, updated lighting and more completed every room of the floor.

This stunning bathroom transformation blends timeless elegance with modern functionality. The focal point is a deep soaking tub, surrounded by marble-look porcelain tile that exudes spa-like luxury. A curved matte black shower rod adds a touch of contrast, complementing the warm bronze fixtures for a sophisticated look. The classic white vanity is topped with a gorgeous marble countertop, offering both style and ample storage. A round, gold-framed mirror brings warmth, while vintage-inspired sconces provide soft, flattering lighting. The hexagon mosaic tile flooring adds a subtle yet elegant pattern, grounding the space in timeless charm. Designed for comfort and style, this beautifully updated bathroom is a serene retreat that blends classic details with contemporary refinement.This stunning bathroom transformation blends timeless elegance with modern functionality.

This Chicago IL bungalow’s kitchen was ready for an update. And update it we did – right in to the world of contemporary design. The custom cabinets are in Cherry wood, with a rich Café Mocha stain. Our palette of warm mocha, cream, sand and taupe is presented in the quartz countertops, as well as the glass tile. To add interest, the tile was run on the vertical, offering the opportunity for longer, unbroken lines. This modern point of view continues with the hood, faucet, and the pendant light above the sink. Storage is an issue in these older homes, and the cabinetry was built to fill every available inch. Hidden behind the lovely cherry doors are storage built-ins, and the island offers large drawers and roll-trays. Bright, sleek, and sophisticated; the cabinetry, tile and quartz countertops create a modern yet warm space.
