This design is in a house that almost didn’t happen.
After two decades of cherished memories within its walls, the decision to sell their comfortable, albeit aging, home and embark on the ambitious journey of building their dream house felt like a natural progression for the homeowners..
Their current house, a testament to years of family life, had served them well, but the vision of a custom-built sanctuary, tailored to their every desire, had long captured their imaginations. With floor plans finalized and the lot secured, they confidently listed their established home, anticipating a smooth transition to their future home. However, the real estate market, it seemed, had other plans. Almost immediately after their listing went live, a wave of instability swept through the local market. Multiple offers, which initially seemed promising, began to unravel for various reasons, leaving the homeowners in a state of mounting frustration and doubt.
Each failed negotiation chipped away at their optimism, leading them to confide in their builder that they were seriously considering withdrawing from the new house project altogether. It felt as though their dream was slipping through their fingers, a beautiful vision that might remain just that – a dream. Just as they were steeling themselves to pull their current home off the market, a ray of hope emerged.
A remarkable buyer, seemingly out of nowhere, submitted a robust and appealing offer. The timing was uncanny, a lifeline thrown at the eleventh hour. With the offer now ratified and the wheels of their existing home's sale finally turning, the couple’s focus shifted back to their dream home. The builders, who had patiently weathered their wavering commitment, were now on track to complete the project. And so, in May of 2025, the keys to their meticulously crafted dream home were finally handed over. The following month, the homeowners joyfully moved into their new sanctuary, a testament to their perseverance and the unexpected turn of events that ultimately made their vision a reality.

Experience the epitome of Colorado outdoor living with this magnificent cedar pergola, custom-designed and built by Freedom Contractors. Anchored off the second story of the home, this pergola extends your living space into the natural beauty of the outdoors. Its robust structure is crowned with a polycarbonate roof covering, chosen specifically for its resilience to Colorado's unique climate. This innovative material offers protection from the sun's UV rays while allowing soft, natural light to filter through, ensuring your space remains bright yet comfortable throughout the year. It stands up admirably to the hail, snow, and temperature fluctuations that are common in the region, providing an all-season retreat without sacrificing the view of the clear blue skies.
Below this architectural marvel is a newly installed custom composite wood deck, promising enduring elegance with minimal maintenance. The composite material is known for its resistance to the elements, warding off rot, mildew, and wear that often afflict traditional wood decking in variable weather. Together, the pergola and decking create an inviting ambiance perfect for relaxing or entertaining, making it a proud addition to any Colorado home.

In a beautiful suburb on the north side of Houston, Texas, Joe and Kristen discovered their dream home—a property with a great lot, situated in a fantastic neighborhood with a thoughtfully designed floor plan. They had been drawn to the house for its charm and had admired the kitchen, which had been tastefully remodeled a few years earlier by a contractor who, despite doing excellent work, was no longer in business. However, upon moving in, they quickly realized that their master bathroom was woefully inadequate and in dire need of immediate repair.
Determined to turn their bathroom into a luxurious retreat, Joe and Kristen sought out Houston Bath & Kitchen, a reputable design-build firm renowned for their meticulous process and outstanding results. They were impressed from the outset with the efficiency and expertise. In just 90 minutes, their design team presented a complete concept plan and provided a detailed estimate—a promising start to what would become an inspiring collaboration.
Guided by Houston Bath & Kitchen's comprehensive approach, Joe and Kristen embarked on a thorough "design tour." The team expertly navigated them through the selection process, ensuring every choice aligned perfectly with their aesthetic preferences and practical needs. Together, they crafted a vision that included an oversized shower for two, creatively integrating a freestanding tub within the shower area—an innovative solution that maximized space and luxury.
As the project progressed, The Houston Bath & Kitchen production team conducted a thorough "trade walk," meticulously inspecting the jobsite to uncover potential complexities and ensure no detail was overlooked. This step was crucial in setting reliable expectations and eliminating surprises.
Detailing the scope of work was another pivotal phase, emphasizing transparency and clarity. Joe and Kristen felt reassured knowing exactly what to expect at each stage of the remodel. Houston Bath & Kitchen then moved into the "master planning phase," coordinating materials, surveys, and permits with precision. Trades were scheduled, and critical paths were identified—laying a solid foundation for a seamless execution.
Throughout the process, communication remained robust, and the meticulous planning ensured the project stayed on track both in terms of time and budget. One of the standout features of the design was the intricate tile work that adorned the walls and floors, fulfilling Joe and Kristen's desire for a design with variation and detail. Natural light was ingeniously incorporated through strategically placed windows and skylights, providing a serene ambiance without sacrificing privacy—a testament to Houston Bath & Kitchen's expertise in balancing functionality with aesthetics.
The final touch of luxury came in the form of a heated floor, adding warmth and comfort to the space—a detail that epitomized Houston Bath & Kitchen's commitment to fulfilling every customer priority.
Less than a year after the project was complete, Joe and Kristen made a decision to sell their home. Remarkably, the property went on the market and sold for $75,000 over asking price—a testament to the transformative impact of their newly remodeled master bathroom. While the exact influence of the bathroom on the bidding war remains speculative, it undoubtedly played a significant role in the home's appeal and ultimate sale price.
The success of their home sale not only underscored the value of their investment but also highlighted the expertise and dedication of Houston Bath & Kitchen in delivering a space that not only met but exceeded their expectations. Joe and Kristen stepped into their newly remodeled master bathroom with hearts full of joy. The space surpassed their dreams, reflecting their style and enhancing their daily lives—a sanctuary that would be cherished for years to come, thanks to Houston Bath & Kitchen's skillful guidance and commitment to excellence.

Step inside this spacious bedroom and a wave of tranquility washes over you. The clean lines of the king-sized platform bed with its light-colored upholstered headboard beckon you in, promising a comfortable and restful night's sleep. A geometric rug in muted tones grounds the space, while an abstract painting on the wall adds a touch of modern flair. The warm glow of lamps on the nightstands and the gentle whir of the ceiling fan create a calming atmosphere, perfect for unwinding after a long day.

The Science of Light and Learning
To understand the relationship between lighting and learning, it’s critical to grasp the concept of correlated colour temperature (CCT). CCT refers to the warmth or coolness of light, measured in Kelvin (K). Lower CCTs (around 3000K) provide a warm, cosy atmosphere, while higher CCTs (5000K or above) emit a cool, daylight-like glow. Studies have shown that cool white light, which mimics natural daylight, can increase alertness and mood, contributing to improved cognitive performance. LED lighting, with its ability to produce this desired CCT, makes an ideal choice for educational settings.
LED Lighting: Brightening the Future of Education
Energy Efficiency and Cost Effectiveness
One of the main advantages of LED lighting is its energy efficiency. Traditional lighting solutions like fluorescent and incandescent bulbs consume much more energy to produce the same amount of light as LEDs, which is not only environmentally harmful but also financially costly. Switching to LED lights can result in substantial cost savings for schools, enabling them to redirect funds to other critical areas of education.
Durability and Longevity
LED lights are renowned for their durability and longevity. They have a significantly longer lifespan compared to conventional lights, which means less frequent replacement and reduced maintenance costs. This durability also minimises disruptions caused by light failure, providing a consistent, well-lit learning environment.
Improved Visibility and Reduced Eye Strain
With their superior colour rendering index (CRI), LED lights render colours more accurately, leading to improved visibility. This is particularly beneficial in educational settings, where activities often require distinguishing fine details and colours. LED lights also emit less glare than traditional lighting solutions, reducing eye strain and fatigue. This can lead to better concentration and increased comfort for both students and teachers.
Incorporating LED Lighting in Classrooms: Practical Considerations
When transitioning to LED lighting in classrooms, a few key factors need to be taken into account. Firstly, the lighting design should ensure an even distribution of light, preventing shadowy or overly bright spots that could distract or discomfort students. Secondly, the integration of dimming capabilities can provide flexibility, allowing educators to adjust the lighting level based on the task at hand. Finally, lighting controls can be used to take advantage of natural light, automatically dimming or turning off the LEDs when sufficient daylight is present.
Conclusion: The Bright Promise of LED Lighting in Education
As education systems continue to evolve, it’s imperative to keep sight of the physical factors that significantly impact learning, one of which is lighting. LED technology, with its myriad benefits, offers an innovative and effective way to enhance the quality of lighting in classrooms. By prioritising investments in such improvements, we can take a significant step towards creating an optimised learning environment that nurtures the educational success of future generations.

This well-loved 1960’s split-level home was in need of a makeover both in terms of design and function!
OPEN CONCEPT
Our clients wanted an open-concept layout for their Lower-Level and Main Floor spaces. This was no easy feat, given that the split-level construction of this home isolated the Kitchen and Family Room from the rest of the house. But we rose to the challenge!
How did we do it?!
To bring more harmony to this 1960’s closed off split-level construction, we enlarged the entryways of the Kitchen and the Dining Room across the Hallway to brighten up the two rooms and allow for better traffic flow between them.
The worn out mixed flooring materials were replaced with new porcelain tiles in the Foyer and new beautiful engineered hardwood floors unified all three levels.
The 3 sets of staircases were updated for safety by raising the railing to Building Code Standards. Then they were redressed with new black metal pickets, Oak treads, posts and handrails.
KITCHEN
The tight kitchen with a dysfunctional layout was brought back to life with the creation of new dining and working zones and plenty of counter space and concealed storage.
How did we do it?!
A peninsula serving as the Breakfast table was installed along shallow-depth cabinetry as you enter the Kitchen. The fridge, stove and sink were relocated to the end of the Kitchen with big windows and more counter space. A row of tall pantries and an appliance garage were installed along one side of the room to offer plenty of storage and hide frequently used small appliances.
FAMILY ROOM
Our Clients spent a lot of time in their Family Room but felt isolated from the rest of the house when they were in it. The room was dim and the stone-clad wood burning fireplace, which they rarely used, took up a lot of space.
Here’s how we gave this Family Room a makeover
Removing dated wainscoting and wallpaper and replacing it with freshly painted walls in neutral tones with an accent colour catapulted this Family Room out of the stone ages!
The stone-clad fireplace in the middle of the room was removed and replaced with a slim electric fireplace at one end of the room. Add on the beautiful built-out clad with porcelain tiles and you’ve got a cozy and stylish reading nook.

French-Inspired Elegance, Head to Toe — Whole-Home Design & Renovation | Wrightsville Beach Area, NC
Some homes are designed to be admired. This one was designed to be lived in beautifully. A stunning white brick colonial exterior with black shutters, a columned arched portico, dark wood double doors, and a bluestone walkway sets the stage before you ever step inside. The promise the exterior makes, the interior keeps — at every single turn.
The kitchen is the kind of room that stops people in their tracks. Crisp white cabinetry with decorative molding, a custom painted range hood, and white quartz countertops create an all-white foundation that feels both timeless and fresh. Two crystal chandeliers hang above the island and kitchen table, and the arabesque mosaic backsplash in soft gray and white ties the palette together with quiet pattern. Ornate corbel legs anchor the island, while embossed French-style upholstered chairs bring softness and texture to the eat-in space. The adjacent butler's pantry doubles as a bar, with ornate oval-mullion glass cabinet doors, a built-in wine refrigerator, and the same signature backsplash tile running through.
The dining room is a showstopper in its own right. A custom ceiling treatment featuring scalloped ogee plaster molding creates an architectural frame that rivals the chandelier below it — a grand crystal fixture suspended from an ornate ceiling medallion. Tufted white dining chairs with scalloped backs and nailhead trim surround a dark espresso table, while tone-on-tone white damask wallpaper adds depth without interrupting the monochromatic palette.
The living room exhales. Pale blue-gray walls and a coffered ceiling with white molding create a serene, layered backdrop for a curved gray tufted leather sofa, custom blue and white botanical drapes, white built-in bookshelves, and a beautifully detailed fireplace mantel. Every piece was chosen to feel collected and considered.
The primary bathroom carries the same elegance: an ornate cartouche-shaped polished nickel mirror, crystal wall sconces, white shaker cabinetry, marble tile, and polished nickel fixtures throughout. The powder room features the same white damask wallpaper as the dining room, picture frame wainscoting, a pedestal sink, and a beveled Venetian mirror — small but completely unforgettable.
Outside, the home extends beautifully with a screened porch featuring an outdoor fireplace, TV, motorized screens, and white outdoor furniture. The covered outdoor kitchen has a custom range hood, dark stone countertops, white painted brick, and easy access through French doors. Crystal door knobs with polished nickel rosettes appear on every door in the home — a detail that, once noticed, tells you everything about how this project was executed.

Refined elegance meets durability in our siding solutions, enhancing your home's curb appeal while promising long-lasting protection.

We had the pleasure of working with the Vigliotti family to create a beautiful new 4-season room addition.
This project began with the careful demolition of existing structures to make way for a space designed to be enjoyed year-round. From the outset, we focused on maintaining transparency and open communication, ensuring the Vigliottis were involved and informed at every step. Despite the challenges posed by large rocks and ledges in the ground, our team expertly navigated the terrain to ensure a solid foundation, remaining committed to delivering a space that not only met but exceeded their expectations.
Key features of this addition include:
• Energy Efficiency: High-efficiency windows and spray foam insulation were installed throughout to maximize energy savings.
• Mudroom: A practical and welcoming mudroom area was created, perfect for managing the transition from outdoors to indoors.
• Composite Deck: The new composite deck, complete with all required flashing and solid PVC skirts, promises durability and low maintenance for years to come.
• Modern Lighting: We installed all-new electrical systems, featuring recessed LED ceiling lights that provide a sleek and modern touch.
• Exposed Beams & Cathedral Ceiling: The room’s exposed finished beams and cathedral ceiling add a sense of grandeur and spaciousness, making the space feel open and airy.
• Integrated HVAC: The addition was seamlessly connected to the existing central air system, ensuring consistent comfort throughout the home.
• Patio Finish: A beautifully finished patio area was added to complement the inviting backyard, creating a perfect space for the family to enjoy outdoor gatherings.
The Vigliottis were highly engaged throughout the project, and their kind words about our honesty, trustworthiness, and customer-focused approach mean the world to us.
In their review, they mentioned that they’ve worked with several contractors over the years, but Beroli stands out as the best. We are incredibly proud to have earned such high praise and to have delivered a home addition that the Vigliotti family can enjoy for years to come.
