This early 90s-style Master Bathroom didn't fit with the rest of this gorgeous, traditional home. We created more privacy and enclosed the toilet area, reconfigured the tub media built-in, and revamped the make-up vanity. Updating the finishes and building a custom vanity with tower storage makes the feel more dramatic. Double vanity with tower storage. Photo by Vern Uyetake

Over a span of two years we completed several projects at this Tokoma Park, Maryland property. We cleaned up the backyard, renovated an existing swale, and installed water loving plants. The following year, we replaced the old pea gravel driveway with a permeable paver driveway. While doing the driveway we encountered spongey clay that was saturated from a leaking water line. We had to install concrete piers down to virgin soil to bear the weight of the walkway. The driveway excavation had to take into account the root zones of large trees. To avoid the surface roots we used a minimal excavation design. Our ultimate goal with this project was to ensure that the new walkways provided a safe and comfortable path for the homeowners and guest to get from their cars to porch whether parked along the street or in the driveway. To provide an extra layer of security, we added low-voltage lighting to accent trees and light the walkway, which were programmed to come on at dusk and turn off automatically at dawn. The new plantings are native species including River Birch, Swamp Hibiscus, Blue Flag Iris, and Common Rush, that are adapted to growing in wet soils. The permeable paver driveway will reduce runoff by storing rain in gravel base while allowing it to be absorbed into the soil below. The paver surface eliminates the tracking of pea gravel into the house while allowing heels to walk on it without sinking in. The swale handles runoff from all the uphill properties and the gravel keeps it from becoming a soggy mess. 
 During seasonal months, snow and leaf removal are greatly eased by having a hard surface to shovel or rake. The permeable pavers used are Techo-Bloc Villagio in Shale Grey and we installed a granite Belgian block border. We replaced existing broken concrete walkway with new curving flagstone walkway and connected the front steps to the driveway and side steps. All projects were consulted with the City of Takoma Park’s Urban Forest Manager, and the Montgomery County Historical Preservation Commission.

This young couple was newly married and graduated and starting a new life together. They just bought a house and really need to rejuvenate it by putting their stamp on it. We knocked down a few walls, and took out the strangest island I had ever seen. We cooked up a young fun design with grey cabinets and quartz countertops. We added the fun through the pop of turquoise int he back splash and the paint! We wen with grey vinyl floors and matched the baseboards to the cabinet color.

This large kitchen was desperately needing a refresh. It was far to traditional for the homeowners taste. Additionally, there was no direct path to the dining room as you needed to enter through a butlers pantry. I opened up two doorways into the kitchen from the dining room, which allowed natural light to flow in. The former butlers pantry was then sealed up and became part of the formerly to small pantry. The homeowners now have a 13' long walk through pantry, accessible from both the new bar area and the kitchen.

This 1950's bath was still original. The owner wanted to brighten it, remove the tub and make a large walk in shower, and add laundry capability on the main floor. A small entry closet on the same wall was closed off and repurposed into the bath for the stacked laundry. The bath looks fantastic, modern and updated, yet it is still very true to the vintage of the house. This photo shows the wall where the entry closet was removed.
