"I cannot say enough good things about the Innovative Construction team and work product. They remodeled our water-damaged, 1930s basement, and exceeded all of our expectations - before and after photos simply cannot do this project justice. The original basement included an awkward staircase in an awkward location, one bedroom, one bathroom, a kitchen and small living space. We had a difficult time imagining that it could be much more than that. Innovative Construction's design team was creative, and thought completely out of the box. They relocated the stairwell in a way we did not think was possible, opening up the basement to reconfigure the bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette, living space, but also adding an office and finished storage room. The end result is as functional as it is beautiful. As with all construction, particularly a renovation of an old house, there will be inconveniences, it will be messy, and plenty of surprises behind the old walls. The Innovative Construction team maintained a clean and safe work site for 100% of the project, with minimal disruption to our daily lives, even when there was a large hole cut into our main living room floor to accommodate new stairs down to the basement. The team showed creativity and an eye for design when working around some of the unexpected "character" revealed when opening the walls. The team effectively uses technology to keep everyone on the same page about changes, requests, schedules, contracts, invoices, etc. Everyone is friendly, competent, helpful, and responsive. I felt heard throughout the process, and my requests were responded to quickly and thoroughly. I recommend Innovative Construction without reservation."

This prominent single-family home in Great Falls, serving as the home of baby boomers for a long time, needed an upgrade. First on the list was the master suite, especially the master bathroom. The outdated master bathroom included lots of angles, rooflines, and wasted space. Getting in the hot tub was difficult. The shower and tub were adjacent to two closets, for which we recommended taking some space to add more space to a new shower and tub area. The prior shower area was small and dysfunctional, so we gutted out the entire shower and tub area, taking some space from adjacent closets to add area to the bathroom to enlarge this space to for a new wet shower and free-standing tub area. The floor was rebuilt for a curb less transition to the wet area. A heated floor was added along with large scale porcelain and pebble river rock. A new makeup area for her, his and her vanity areas in contrasting grey cabinetry covered a gorgeous stone was also added. Various new lighting elements brighten up this new master bathroom. The upgraded amenities for this project include a heated floor, heated towel warmer, multi-rain shower, large walk-in wet space, and matching wood mirror frames.

We planned a thoughtful redesign of this beautiful home while retaining many of the existing features. We wanted this house to feel the immediacy of its environment. So we carried the exterior front entry style into the interiors, too, as a way to bring the beautiful outdoors in. In addition, we added patios to all the bedrooms to make them feel much bigger. Luckily for us, our temperate California climate makes it possible for the patios to be used consistently throughout the year. The original kitchen design did not have exposed beams, but we decided to replicate the motif of the 30" living room beams in the kitchen as well, making it one of our favorite details of the house. To make the kitchen more functional, we added a second island allowing us to separate kitchen tasks. The sink island works as a food prep area, and the bar island is for mail, crafts, and quick snacks. We designed the primary bedroom as a relaxation sanctuary – something we highly recommend to all parents. It features some of our favorite things: a cognac leather reading chair next to a fireplace, Scottish plaid fabrics, a vegetable dye rug, art from our favorite cities, and goofy portraits of the kids. --- Project designed by Courtney Thomas Design in La Cañada.

This family and had been living in their 1917 Tangletown neighborhood, Minneapolis home for over two years and it wasn’t meeting their needs. The lack of AC in the bathroom was an issue, the bathtub leaked frequently, and their lack of a shower made it difficult for them to use the space well. After researching Design/Build firms, they came to Castle on the recommendations from others. Wanting a clean “canvas” to work with, Castle removed all the flooring, plaster walls, tiles, plumbing and electrical fixtures. We replaced the existing window with a beautiful Marvin Integrity window with privacy glass to match the rest of the home. A bath fan was added as well as a much smaller radiator. Castle installed a new cast iron bathtub, tub filler, hand shower, new custom vanity from the Woodshop of Avon with Cambria Weybourne countertop and a recessed medicine cabinet. Wall sconces from Creative lighting add personality to the space. The entire space feels charming with all new traditional black and white hexagon floor tile, tiled shower niche, white subway tile bath tub surround, tile wainscoting and custom shelves above the toilet. Just outside the bathroom, Castle also installed an attic access ladder in their hallway, that is not only functional, but aesthetically pleasing. Come see this project on the 2018 Castle Educational Home Tour, September 29 – 30, 2018.

This living room design is best appreciated when compared to the frumpy "before" view of the room. The lovely bones of this cute bungalow cried out for a "refresh". This tall couple needed a sofa that would be supportive . I recommended a clean lined style with legs to open up the rather small space.The minimalist design of the contemporary swivel chair is perfect for the center of the room. A media cabinet with contrasting white and driftwood finishes offers storage but doesn't appear too bulky. The marble cocktail table and faux bois end tables add a nature inspired sense of elegance.

Family Room with a little "whimsy" This was a very large great room with lots of natural light and a wall of white built-in cabinets. The client really wanted a large cream sectional and already had two solid accent chairs, one in red faux suede and a leather club chair, so I recommended a large zebra rug to be placed on an angle to add interest. Since the large vintage poster had olive greens, golds, red, orange and black throughout, I chose to paint the walls a deep olive green and use a goldenrod colored fabric for the draperies that hung from black wrought iron rods with rings.

Beautify the space. In addition to providing sufficient lighting, cabinet light strips can also add beauty to the space. By arranging cabinet light strips properly, the cabinets can be more decorative, enhancing the overall home atmosphere. Especially at night or in dim environments, the gentle light of cabinet light strips can not only highlight items but also create a warm and cozy atmosphere.
