This transformative basement remodel turns a once bare and utilitarian space into an inviting subterranean retreat, complete with a custom-built bar that's the epitome of at-home sophistication. The 'before' picture reveals a stark, unfinished basement, which has been masterfully converted into a cozy and stylish entertainment zone. The bar area exudes a rustic yet refined vibe, featuring rich wood textures that contrast beautifully with the sleek marble countertop. Equipped with a professional sink and tap setup, the bar is designed to serve as the centerpiece for social gatherings, offering beer on tap that adds a unique, personalized touch. Accentuated by strategic lighting that casts a warm and welcoming glow, the space invites guests to linger. The recessed alcove with beer taps not only serves as a practical beverage station but also as a visual highlight, with a textured wood backdrop that adds depth and character. Comfortable seating at the bar, paired with the intimate ambiance created by the soft recessed lighting, ensures this basement is now a prime location for relaxation and hosting. The transformation is nothing short of remarkable, transitioning from a blank canvas to a fully-realized entertainment haven that any homeowner would cherish.

Just wrapped up an incredible kitchen remodel and couldn’t be happier with the results! Under the guidance of our amazing Project Manager, Tony Cicchino, and the talented Designer, Justina Auer, this kitchen looks unrecognizable from the Before pictures. We opted to maintain the existing layout but injected a dash of brilliance with additional cabinetry, elevating both form and function. The decision to remove overhead wall cabinets above the peninsula really started to open up the space, allowing for a more seamless and spacious feel. We also bid adieu to the faux beams to gain a fluid perspective throughout the room. The clever addition of a pantry cabinet and additional storage space on the backside of the peninsula really expanded the storage universe. By lifting the microwave off the counter, we gained valuable extra counter space. The hidden pull-out trash under the counter is a game-changer for convenience. We embraced a clean and timeless palette of simple whites and grays, making the space a perfect canvas for personal touches. This kitchen is now a masterpiece that marries practicality with panache!

This sweet family has dreaded being in their kitchen since they purchased the home over 6 years ago even though they cook and bake from scratch! It had come to the point of remodeling the kitchen or planning to find a house that better suits them in the next few years. Needless to say, after hearing our vision for them and seeing the walnut cabinetry they couldn’t wait to see the design renderings for their dream kitchen. They pulled out all the stops to ensure there were zero regrets. From the custom range hood to the storage solution that complemented their kitchen lifestyle, to rearranging the layout by removing the angled and wasteful corner sink peninsula so they don’t have to compete with the open dishwasher, to the perfect tile floor that went beautifully with their wood floor in the rest of the house. Shortly after starting their project, we discovered a large empty space under the stairs behind the kitchen wall, so they made it into a walk-in pantry through their now former shallow closet pantry! It was kismet to have everything work so perfectly to expand upon their kitchen remodel, including a simple fix of putting a butcherblock top on their washer and dryer to make more practical use of their space (and for a simple countertop microwave). What can’t come across in these after pictures is how huge and open the space feels now! We couldn’t be happier about creating and installing this dream kitchen for the nicest family.

Preserving the character and charm of this historic home, the original front door and windows remain intact. Wide plank hardwood floors have replaced the dark floors, brightening the entire space.

The Deistel’s had an ultimatum: either completely renovate their home exactly the way they wanted it and stay forever – or move. Like most homes built in that era, the kitchen was semi-dysfunctional. The pantry and appliance placement were inconvenient. The layout of the rooms was not comfortable and did not fit their lifestyle. Before making a decision about moving, they called Amos at ALL Renovation & Design to create a remodeling plan. Amos guided them through two basic questions: “What would their ideal home look like?” And then: “What would it take to make it happen?” To help with the first question, Amos brought in Ambience by Adair as the interior designer for the project. Amos and Adair presented a design that, if acted upon, would transform their entire first floor into their dream space. The plan included a completely new kitchen with an efficient layout. The style of the dining room would change to match the décor of antique family heirlooms which they hoped to finally enjoy. Elegant crown molding would give the office a face-lift. And to cut down cost, they would keep the existing hardwood floors. Amos and Adair presented a clear picture of what it would take to transform the space into a comfortable, functional living area, within the Deistel’s reasonable budget. That way, they could make an informed decision about investing in their current property versus moving. The Deistel’s decided to move ahead with the remodel. The ALL Renovation & Design team got right to work. Gutting the kitchen came first. Then came new painted maple cabinets with glazed cove panels, complemented by the new Arley Bliss Element glass tile backsplash. Armstrong Alterna Mesa engineered stone tiles transformed the kitchen floor. The carpenters creatively painted and trimmed the wainscoting in the dining room to give a flat-panel appearance, matching the style of the heirloom furniture. The end result is a beautiful living space, with a cohesive scheme, that is both restful and practical.

The new addition to the family's home allowed for a spacious mud room entry for their children. The floor is tough for foot traffic, boots, shoes and school backpacks. It became the casual welcoming entry for a side door from the driveway as well as the garage. Bead board on the lower wall allowed for a second wall color and some practical durability for shoes or backpacks bumping into walls on their way to built in cubbies (not pictured) and furry friends that may be wet from a rainy or snow day.

This bathroom is in a grand old Tudor house from 1929 and was originally the Maid's bath. 70 years later this old girl was given a much needed face lift! As much as I love a footed tub, it just isn't practical for the modern use of a shower so it had to go (don't worry I found it a good home!). We removed the old lathe and plaster walls and discovered space behind the eaves that allowed the space to open up, install new venting, much needed insulation, and center a generous vanity that provided storage and a great work surface. Plus we were able to create a niche for additional storage! We upgraded/added new lighting, tile (including the shampoo niche), and plumbing fixtures. The best change was the fresh, bright palette that allowed this space to shine. This old girl is smiling now!
