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.

With a panoramic back deck overlooking downtown Asheville, this home is positioned on a sloping such that there is ample, level driveway, and plenty of windows to take in the long-range mountain views. Open interior spaces and lots of lighting and ample master closet space were important to these clients. A practical, dog-washing station in the mudroom doubles as a handy rinse-off spot for muddy shoes or boots.

Surrounding the new deck is a cedar railing with Stainless Steel Cable, which practically disappears as you look “through” it – a nice touch, given the view from this deck overlooking the neighborhood pond. Capping the rail along the length of the deck is the same TimberTech Terrain in Brown Oak that was used for the parting board, picture framing and stair accents.

Picture updating a small Denver home into a mid-century gem without leaving your favorite spot. Denver Modern adds a second story and basement to an 850 SF house, creating room for family while keeping that essential backyard for fun and relaxation. The growing family adored their location but outgrew the space. They wanted a vertical expansion to stay put, with southern alignment for shade and big doors linking inside to out for easy flow. Narrow lots limit options, but adding up instead of out preserved the yard. It solves space needs while enhancing light and connection, turning a cramped setup into an open, inviting home. The concept embraces mid-century style – sleek lines and glass for modern charm, maximizing the lot with thoughtful additions that feel natural and expansive. Contemporary builds ensure strength and function, using materials that blend timeless design with practical urban living. Open main floor for gatherings, with three bedrooms and baths upstairs for rest. Everything flows seamlessly to the backyard for everyday ease. Since Spring 2014, Denver Modern has been a family-friendly update that keeps roots strong. It offers space, light, and style, making it a joyful place to grow in the city.

This bedroom strikes the perfect balance between modern sophistication and a welcoming sense of comfort. The matte black doors create a striking contrast against the soft gray wall color, instantly elevating the room's visual depth. Paired with the natural warmth of wide-plank light oak flooring, the result is a palette that feels both grounded and airy. The large picture window invites ample daylight, enhancing the room's open, uncluttered feel. At night, the minimal ceiling fan offers both function and understated style, complementing the space without overwhelming it. The room's simplicity allows it to adapt to any design preference, from minimalist to richly layered decor. Every design decision here prioritizes both aesthetics and practicality—ample closet space, an easy-to-clean floor finish, and a color scheme that stands the test of time. This is a bedroom that doesn't just serve as a place to sleep—it's a quiet retreat within the home, perfectly suited for rest, reflection, or simply enjoying the play of light across the walls throughout the day. In a house where architectural details take center stage, this bedroom proves that even simple spaces can be deeply considered and beautifully executed.

The Denver is very practical, and designed for those who favor the open room concept. At over 2700 square feet, it has substantial living space. The living room and kitchen areas are perfect for gathering, and the generous screened in room completes the picture perfect main floor. The loft is open to below and includes a beautiful large master bedroom. With a cathedral ceiling and abundance of windows, this design lets in tons of light, enhancing the most spectacular views. www.timberblock.com

These South Shore of Boston Homeowners approached the Team at Renovisions to power-up their powder room. Their half bath, located on the first floor, is used by several guests particularly over the holidays. When considering the heavy traffic and the daily use from two toddlers in the household, it was smart to go with a stylish, yet practical design. Wainscot made a nice change to this room, adding an architectural interest and an overall classic feel to this cape-style traditional home. Installing custom wainscoting may be a challenge for most DIY’s, however in this case the homeowners knew they needed a professional and felt they were in great hands with Renovisions. Details certainly made a difference in this project; adding crown molding, careful attention to baseboards and trims had a big hand in creating a finished look. The painted wood vanity in color, sage reflects the trend toward using furniture-like pieces for cabinets. The smart configuration of drawers and door, allows for plenty of storage, a true luxury for a powder room. The quartz countertop was a stunning choice with veining of sage, black and white creating a Wow response when you enter the room. The dark stained wood trims and wainscoting were painted a bright white finish and allowed the selected green/beige hue to pop. Decorative black framed family pictures produced a dramatic statement and were appealing to all guests. The attractive glass mirror is outfitted with sconce light fixtures on either side, ensuring minimal shadows. The homeowners are thrilled with their new look and proud to boast what was once a simple bathroom into a showcase of their personal style and taste. "We are very happy with our new bathroom. We received many compliments on it from guests that have come to visit recently. Thanks for all of your hard work on this project!" - Doug & Lisa M. (Hanover)

Oasis in the Desert You can find a whole lot of fun ready for the kids in this fun contemporary play-yard in the dessert. Theme: The overall theme of the play-yard is a blend of creative and active outdoor play that blends with the contemporary styling of this beautiful home. Focus: The overall focus for the design of this amazing play-yard was to provide this family with an outdoor space that would foster an active and creative playtime for their children of various ages. The visual focus of this space is the 15-foot tree placed in the middle of the turf yard. This fantastic structure beacons the children to climb the mini stumps and enjoy the slide or swing happily from the branches all the while creating a touch of whimsical nature not typically found in the desert. Surrounding the tree the play-yard offers an array of activities for these lucky children from the chalkboard walls to create amazing pictures to the custom ball wall to practice their skills, the custom myWall system provides endless options for the kids and parents to keep the space exciting and new. Rock holds easily clip into the wall offering ever changing climbing routes, custom water toys and games can also be adapted to the wall to fit the fun of the day. Storage: The myWall system offers various storage options including shelving, closed cases or hanging baskets all of which can be moved to alternate locations on the wall as the homeowners want to customize the play-yard. Growth: The myWall system is built to grow with the users whether it is with changing taste, updating design or growing children, all the accessories can be moved or replaced while leaving the main frame in place. The materials used throughout the space were chosen for their durability and ability to withstand the harsh conditions for many years. The tree also includes 3 levels of swings offering children of varied ages the chance to swing from the branches. Safety: Safety is of critical concern with any play-yard and a space in the harsh conditions of the desert presented specific concerns which were addressed with light colored materials to reflect the sun and reduce heat buildup and stainless steel hardware was used to avoid rusting. The myWall accessories all use a locking mechanism which allows for easy adjustments but also securely locks the pieces into place once set. The flooring in the treehouse was also textured to eliminate skidding.

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.

Intersecting the picture rail, this hutch is obviously a built-in piece of cabinetry, but its feet, wood worktop and placement away from the side wall speak of free-standing furniture. A good and practical combination of elements -- the strength and steadiness of built-ins and the less formal fashion of the free-standing. Wood-Mode Fine Custom Cabinetry: Brookhaven's Pelham Manor

A depressing dark wooden kitchen gets a major face lift! As you can see from the before pictures, the kitchen was quite dark. Even during the daytime the lady of the house had to turn on the lights to work there. An exterior pergola on a much lower level prevented light from coming in the house and though the pergola was a favourite spot to seat in the summer the humidity in the air made it unbearable and the access to it was not very practical. So in essence the family had no real seating room either. My goal... to create a functional kitchen filled with light and an adjacent seating area. My challenges...the pergola was very low and, not enough space for a seating room...... So.....I came up with something I have never done before nor did I think possible. Using specialised equipment I lifted the existing pergola up all in one piece, without breaking it apart, then I raised the floor covered by the pergola to the level of the house and made an opening from the house to the pergola...Mission accomplished! Lots of light now coming in and more than enough space for the family seating area
