The first step was to remove the old deck, install new underground plumbing lines and significantly enlarge the coverage area of the deck. Also, a small, poorly functioning spa in the shallow end was removed and a new larger, elevated circular model was installed at the middle of the pool.

This large space did not function well for this family of 6. The cabinetry they had did not go to the ceiling and offered very poor storage options. The island that existed was tiny in comparrison to the space. By taking the cabinets to the ceiling, enlarging the island and adding large pantry's we were able to achieve the storage needed. Then the fun began, all of the decorative details that make this space so stunning. Beautiful tile for the backsplash and a custom metal hood. Lighting and hardware to complement the hood. Then, the vintage runner and natural wood elements to make the space feel more homey.

The owners of this remodel desired a refreshing new master bathroom. The original layout was poorly designed with minimal storage, a small shower, a rarely used bathtub and a water closet that was difficult to access. The old vanity flanked a curved wall of glass block (the main challenge with this space) which didn’t allow for mirrors and was always cluttered because of limited storage. With smart space planning and attention to detail this well-appointed bathroom is now a uniquely personal space that functions brilliantly and balanced for the homeowners. Photo: DeMane Design

This was a very outdated, poorly designed bathroom that we wanted to update with a much more modern, functional design; but keep a bit of a rustic appeal to fit in this comfy country home. We combined a small 1 1/2 bathroom design into a much larger open bathroom. By moving the wet area, we were able to give them a more functional design, with plenty of badly needed storage space. We used a distressed wood look porcelain tile to keep the rustic appeal, while incorporating some cleaner lines and modern features.

The wing of this old Vermont Farmhouse had several issues, including multiple floor levels, damp basement, structural issues and poor functioning spaces. We deconstructed the wing, poured a new full dry basement and re-built a small addition which includes a master suite, mudroom, laundry room, powder room, work area and home office/studio space. More importantly we incorporated Universal Design into the existing and new portions of the home, so it will all now be on one level.

After dealing with a poorly designed kitchen for more than 15 years, the Kumets family brought in Cantoni design consultant George Saba to transform their space into one that was open, contemporary and ergonomically efficient.

A poorly laid out kitchen whose colours and finishes didn't match the rest of the traditional home was given an incredibly functional and beautiful update. The floorplan was adjusted without moving any walls or the flooring only the addition of new cabinets, extended breakfast bar island, granite counters, brick backsplash, lighting, appliances, trim, crown and paint. Voila!

We ? bathroom renovations! This initially drab space was so poorly laid-out that it fit only a tiny vanity for a family of four!⁠ Working in the existing footprint, and in a matter of a few weeks, we were able to design and renovate this space to accommodate a double vanity (SO important when it is the only bathroom in the house!). In addition, we snuck in a private toilet room for added functionality. Now this bath is a stunning workhorse!⁠

Our clients have lived in this Bay Area home for over 20 years and their kitchen had all the charm of that '70''s style; it no longer showcased their personal style or provided the functionality they needed. Outdated features included inset fluorescent ceiling lighting, uninspired cabinet style, and poor layout and functionality. This kitchen received a First Place Award from the National Association of Remodeling Industry's REMMIES in October 2013.

The client's basement was a poorly-finished strange place; was cluttered and not functional as an entertainment space. We updated to a club-like atmosphere to include a state of the art entertainment area, poker/card table, unique curved bar area, karaoke and dance floor area with a disco ball to provide reflecting fractals above to pull the focus to the center of the area to tell everyone; this is where the action is!

This kitchen started as a builder basic with no personality or charm. The layout didn't have the best function and the island was poorly placed. The homeowners purchased this house with remodeling and upgrading in mind. The layout was changed to accommodate two people cooking together. Zones were created for meal prepping, cooking and baking. The island was expanded to fill the space and utilize bar seating. The walk through butlers pantry was turned in to a wine bar with a fridge, storage and custom glass cabinets. A medium toned hardwood floor was layed throughout the entire lower level
