The raised portion of this patio used to be where the small deck was. Now it gives the homeowner a place to grill, enter the house at two different doors, and gives access to the larger lower patio. There's plenty of room on the upper level for a small table for two and the lower patio gives more opportunity for family and entertaining.

Perched on the shores of Dean Lake in Grand Rapids, MI, this charming summer retreat was ready for a kitchen transformation that would match its stunning surroundings. The homeowners envisioned a space that celebrated the sweeping lake views and fostered an effortless connection between the kitchen, dining, and living areas. Sustainability was equally important, giving us the opportunity to incorporate environmentally responsible materials into the design.

The Designers for Hope Showcase, which was held on May 14-17, 2015, is a fundraising event to help support the program and mission of House of Hope. Local designers were chosen to transform a riverfront home in De Pere, with the help of DeLeers Construction. The home was then opened up to the public for the unique opportunity to view a distinctively new environment.

With a run-down outbuilding taking up valuable space in their yard, this client saw the perfect opportunity to create the ultimate zen multi-use space. Yoga, meditation, sound bowls and a calm and relaxing vibe this space is now the perfect room to relax, take in the views and get inspired.

Some of the most delightful opportunities for amplifying charm were built into the cottage chimney.

The most unique of all the condo renovations really shows off some fun materials and custom interiors. The sloped roof constraints provide opportunities for inventive design solutions, including a reading loft overlooking the living room. Thanks to Scott Booth for the great photography.

This smaller galley kitchen was the perfect opportunity to add some warmth to this cape cod home filled with lots of charm. In this kitchen, there is plenty of space and opportunities for this family who loves to cook together to spend some time amongst their double ovens and abundance of counter space. The cabinets are white uppers with latte colored base and a featured backsplash of hand painted tile that pulls in all of the colors of the kitchen. The beverage center is maple with a cashew stain to match the kitchen table. We added a bookcase next to the refrigerator at the back door so there is room to drop things as they walk in. The pantry area is a large wall cabinet with rollouts and a three drawer base giving plenty of room for storage even though this space may not be the biggest.

BEFORE - the chicken run uses pressure treated 4x4 posts. These provide a great opportunity for vertical gardening to provide more flowering annuals for both decoration, and to feed the new beehive seen in the background. In-ground gardens beneath are just starting to show gladiolus, as well as their new blueberry bushes and rosemary.

A 1940s home where the kitchen needed some love. By Removing a wall that separated the kitchen from eating nook provided opportunities to open the space up for a more modern lifestyle. The kitchen table is connected to the island with a cascading waterfall edge. It allows friends and family to gather in the kitchen yet out of the work triangle.

We were asked to help transform a cluttered, half-finished common area to an organized, multi-functional homework/play/lounge space for this family of six. They were so pleased with the desk setup for the kids, that we created a similar workspace for their office. In the midst of designing these living areas, they had a leak in their kitchen, so we jumped at the opportunity to give them a brand new one. This project was a true collaboration between owner and designer, as it was done completely remotely.

We recently had the opportunity to design and fabricate a beautiful custom modern railing for a home in the Chicagoland area. We really liked the way the product came out and we added a metal finish to the product to give it a great look. (312) 912-7405
