When the homeowners returned from vacation to find their neighbors' garage had fallen into their kitchen wall causing extensive damage, they used the opportunity to create a striking and functional space for cooking with family and friends who frequently visit. High end appliances, an eye catching backsplash, walnut breakfast bar, and custom cabinets with an integrated corner pantry and wine storage highlight this light filled kitchen with city and mountain views.

Single-level townhouse that doesn’t compromise function or style. Thoughtful touches like stamped concrete, apron front farmhouse sink, granite breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances and range hood accented with simple, classic white subway tile, statement Pottery Barn lighting in dining, and covered porch for year round enjoyment.

A classic Portland foursquare, lovingly owned by an active and lively family of four, had undergone some unfortunate previous renovations that were in desperate need of updating. A cramped kitchen layout, lacking countertop work space, non-functional appliance locations (the range was floating on it’s own!), cramped kitchen nook not large enough for eat-in space and therefor left underutilized, and a general lack of storage all needed to be addressed. To increase functional space, we enclosed a small back porch and re-built the adjacent nook, folding in the square footage to create an expansive kitchen footprint. We relocated the back door and added a back deck while creating space for a mud bench for littles to tuck away their gear! The enlarged kitchen now boasts a extensive natural light thanks to the addition of several windows. An easy work flow was created within the new kitchen layout featuring an in-island sink with range and hood flanked by matching windows. Custom cabinet accessories make storage a breeze and provide a space for all the necessities to be right at the homeowner’s fingertips. The eat-in kitchen space allows not only for lingering family chats, but homework and craft projects to be done while dinner simmers on the stove. This kitchen truly is the heart of this home! All of the updates were completed with the home’s original foursquare architecture in mind. with a focus on classic architectural molding styles, traditional window details, and clean-lined classic fixtures. Youthfulness and modernity are infused into the space with the contemporary handmade tile backsplash, rich and timeless green cabinets, and artistic wallpaper with a whimsical floral print and subtle European nod. The custom range in cream and brass is a stunning showstopper and a testament that even the most functional of elements in a kitchen can still be beautiful! Which one is the star of the show? How do we pick just one?!

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.

Our clients wanted a bigger kitchen to entertain family and friends. They also wanted to spend time outdoors, therefore our designer incorporated a screen porch to the design adjacent to the kitchen area. Natural light was another important request on their wish list, so our designer added large windows with a bench for sitting area which created a relaxing atmosphere in the room. Our client’s last request was to have a small workshop to work on his custom furniture, we extended the basement along with the first floor which provided enough room to work on. Our clients were extremely satisfied with the project outcome. They couldn’t thank us enough about the great experience they had working with us.

For this Franklin, Tennessee renovation, we partnered with the clients on three standout projects. First, we transformed their attic into a fully functional home gym, incorporating a skylight for natural light and a clean, open design. In the kitchen remodel, we added a pot filler, under-cabinet lighting, a stainless steel range hood, and custom cabinetry to maximize space and functionality. The luxurious home bar we designed includes a separate bar sink, a wine fridge, and modern storage solutions, seamlessly blending clean lines with a contemporary kitchen aesthetic. The screened porch upgrade featured stamped concrete flooring, unique board and batten accents, and a flat-screen TV, transitioning effortlessly into an outdoor grilling station and fire pit area. This versatile outdoor space now combines modern countertops, custom millwork, and eco-friendly materials to offer year-round usability. As Franklin's premier renovation and remodeling experts, we specialize in custom cabinetry design, luxury home renovations, home additions, and outdoor living solutions. Whether it’s a modern bathroom, carpentry framing, or high-end custom construction, we bring expert craftsmanship and innovative project management to every project. Photography: TNhometour.com
