Lucerne Road underwent a comprehensive renovation, culminating in the transformation of a 5-bedroom terraced house into a modern, functional, and aesthetically pleasing living space. The project addressed various aspects of the property's interior, enhancing its functionality, comfort, and visual appeal. Ground Floor: The ground floor received substantial renovations, including the complete refurbishment of the reception room. New flooring was installed, walls were painted, and the fireplace in the front reception room was removed to accommodate a TV and shelving. The staircase between the living area and the kitchen was repaired. Additionally, the kitchen underwent a complete redesign, featuring a new layout with full kitchen fixtures. The Aga stove was removed, and new kitchen fixtures, flooring, lighting, and painting were installed. First Floor: On the first floor, both smaller and larger bedrooms, along with associated bathrooms, were renovated. The smaller bedroom at the back had its carpet replaced and walls repainted. The corresponding bathroom received upgraded tiling. The larger bedroom and its attached bathroom underwent extensive renovations, including new flooring, tiling, and painting. The bedroom was opened up into the bathroom to create a seamless space, a walk-in closet was added, and the bathroom was modernized with an additional shower. Second and Third Floors: The second and third floors were updated with new carpeting and fresh paint throughout the respective areas. Additionally, the third-floor bathroom was expanded to accommodate a bathtub with a shower, replacing the previous arrangement where the bathtub was situated within the bedroom. Other Enhancements: Beyond the main areas, the renovation included updating the staircase and carpeting throughout the property. Bespoke cupboards and storage solutions were integrated to optimize space utilization. The front hallway received new tiling, enhancing the overall appeal and functionality of the entrance area. Some doors were updated to complement the revitalized interiors seamlessly. The Lucerne Road renovation project successfully transformed the property into a modern and inviting home, reflecting the needs and preferences of its inhabitants.

As part of Valor Roofing’s Raise the Roof program, US Army Veteran, SGT George Welch received a free roof on his home in Edgewater, MD. SGT Welch is 73 years old and was an Army Military Policeman (31B), as well as a Gunner on a Helicopter Gunship. His platoon was involved in the Battle of Saigon in which they were trapped in an alleyway. Unfortunately, a few of his platoon members did not survive. “When we consider a Veteran for the Raise the Roof Program, it is important to not only establish a need, but to ensure we recognize the Veteran for their dedication to our country,” said Al Kincaid, Founder of Raise the Roof.“ SGT Welch exemplifies the bravery and heroism we have come to expect from our servicemen and women. Furthermore, SGT Welch deserves a roof that is sturdy and safe. His current home desperately needs something that we can provide. It is our duty as grateful Americans to do our part.” Living in Edgewater, Maryland for the last 41 years has been a blessing for SGT Welch, but more importantly, for the community that surrounds him. SGT Welch is a cancer survivor, but that doesn’t limit his ability to walk his beloved dogs and get his daily exercise in. This is wonderful news for the neighboring K-9’s, as they all have grown accustom to sneaking a dog treat from his pockets — purposefully — full of delicious snacks. “SGT Welch was flabbergasted when we arrived. Most Veterans are very humble and do not believe they deserve recognition for their service,” said Will Fisher, Program and Brand Manager at Valor, “After we saw his reaction, we took a moment to show respect. The last thing we wanted was to overwhelm him even more. That is just the type of guy he is; humble and prideful.” The Raise the Roof program was created by Valor Roofing to give back to service disabled veterans in need, especially Veterans of Foreign Wars such as WW2, Korean War and Vietnam War. Veteran recipients are nominated by their community through Valor Roofing’s radio partners 93.1 WPOC, 98.7 WMZQ, 105.7 The Fan, and 100.7 The Bay. With hundreds of applications to choose from, Valor Roofing selects four veterans a year, one per quarter, to receive a new roof. In less than three years, the program has donated 11 roofs, a value of $132,000. Through their partnership with Operation Second Chance and Flags of Valor (FOV), each recipient also receives a custom wooden flag, hand-built by veterans.

The dining room received a major transformation. The walls and ceilings were resurfaced, the sliding doors were replaced with a walk-out. The light fixture was replaced with a trendy industrial style fixture and edison bulbs. The dining table felt hip and cool with its solid acacia wood, and contrasting bench with 4 chairs. The exterior of the home received a major facelift and transformation, including new light fixtures, updated roof and facia, updated wood beams, wood door, wood ceiling and stone added to the entrance and more. This took the home from a dated look to an updated and fresh "modern farmhouse" aesthetic. The kitchen layout remained intact, while appliances, fixtures, hardware, countertops and backsplashes were upgraded . All three bathrooms in the house were also renovated, original hardwood floors were refinished and carpet and tile flooring throughout replaced. Additionally, the dated built-in brick fireplace on the ground floor game room was redesigned. The new fireplace design would now directly tie in with the modern farmhouse style of the exterior, complete with the addition of a large wooden mantle. DTSH Interiors formulated a plan for six rooms; the living room, dining room, master bedroom, two children's bedrooms and ground floor game room, with the inclusion of the complete fireplace re-design. The interior also received major upgrades during the whole-house renovation. All of the walls and ceilings were resurfaced, the windows, doors and all interior trim was re-done. The end result was a giant leap forward for this family; in design, style and functionality. The home felt completely new and refreshed, and once fully furnished, all elements of the renovation came together seamlessly and seemed to make all of the renovations shine. During the "big reveal" moment, the day the family finally returned home for their summer away, it was difficult for me to decide who was more excited, the adults or the kids! The home owners kept saying, with a look of delighted disbelief "I can't believe this is our house!" As a designer, I absolutely loved this project, because it shows the potential of an average, older Pittsburgh area home, and how it can become a well designed and updated space. It was rewarding to be part of a project which resulted in creating an elegant and serene living space the family loves coming home to everyday, while the exterior of the home became a standout gem in the neighborhood.
