Our homeowners wanted to improve their kitchen layout at their lake house and wanted an open, functional flow with increased storage, lighting and trending styles. We removed a non-bearing wall between kitchen and great room and created an area for a large island. These changes brought in their thirst for abundant, natural light and solved the bottleneck that occurred in the old space when the refrigerator was in use. The new layout provides ample storage space and open stations for friends and family to gather while entertaining. Updating the kitchen and living space enhances the function of the home.We converted existing outdated materials to be more attractive and functional: lighting, cabinetry, flooring, and tiled surfaces. We found ways to provide innovative materials for our homeowners’ selections by maintaining the use of the existing knotty pine beams, ceiling and posts and working with the existing ‘cottage feel’ while updating fixtures, finishes and flow through the space. Warm design elements are evident through use of copper accents like the hood, faucets, sink and cabinet pulls.

This project was done to update the homeowner's staircase from standard 3" newels with tapered balusters in golden oak to a more elegant look when you first walk through their front door. Because the entry area was so big and open, I advised that they use larger box style newel posts. The bottom newel is 7 1/4" square and the others are 6 1/4". For the spindles, I used metal single basket and single twist balusters. All wood is a dark stained poplar, which gave a more rich look and coordinated much better with the white trim throughout the rest of the home. photo by Todd Construction

The living room before was carpeted and the staircase was curved with white spindles and carpet. We wanted to update and give more of a traditional look so we went with iron spindles and straight lines with big white bolsters situated at the front of the staircase. The entire first and staircase was updated to real hardwood floors, due to pets and small kids. Odds and Ends Photography

Friends and neighbors of an owner of Four Elements asked for help in redesigning certain elements of the interior of their newer home on the main floor and basement to better reflect their tastes and wants (contemporary on the main floor with a more cozy rustic feel in the basement). They wanted to update the look of their living room, hallway desk area, and stairway to the basement. They also wanted to create a 'Game of Thrones' themed media room, update the look of their entire basement living area, add a scotch bar/seating nook, and create a new gym with a glass wall. New fireplace areas were created upstairs and downstairs with new bulkheads, new tile & brick facades, along with custom cabinets. A beautiful stained shiplap ceiling was added to the living room. Custom wall paneling was installed to areas on the main floor, stairway, and basement. Wood beams and posts were milled & installed downstairs, and a custom castle-styled barn door was created for the entry into the new medieval styled media room. A gym was built with a glass wall facing the basement living area. Floating shelves with accent lighting were installed throughout - check out the scotch tasting nook! The entire home was also repainted with modern but warm colors. This project turned out beautiful!

Small townhouse deck remodel completed with full replacement of the old painted pressure-treated wood deck using Trex composite decking, Trex posts, and Trex railing for a longer-lasting and lower-maintenance finish. The project included removal of deteriorated materials, correction of uneven framing, and installation of new level structural components to support the new deck surface. The finished result provided a clean, durable, and updated outdoor space with improved appearance and performance.

Small Bathroom Budget Misconception: Some clients believe that a small bathroom should come with a small budget, but that's not necessarily the case. While the space may be small, the cost of materials, fixtures, and labor doesn’t always scale down accordingly. In fact, smaller bathrooms often require precise planning and custom solutions that can drive up costs. A well-designed small bathroom can add significant value to your home, providing both aesthetic appeal and practical efficiency.

In keeping with the homeowners' desire to take their home from traditional to transitional, the entry was updated with new stairway elements, flooring and frosted prairie style doors, which give added privacy to the office space. Pictures by Jake Boyd Photo
