Cabinet Refacing project. Builder oak cabinets in place with granite down. Instead of losing all of granite and starting over with a complete remodel, we saved Thousands of dollars in refacing cabinets

The existing periphery cabinets were in great shape - so instead of replacing them - we saved thousands of dollars in the budget by painting them off-white color to brighten up the space.

This 400 s.f. studio apartment in NYC’s Greenwich Village serves as a pied-a-terre for clients whose primary residence is on the West Coast. Although the clients do not reside here full-time, this tiny space accommodates all the creature comforts of home. Bleached hardwood floors, crisp white walls, and high ceilings are the backdrop to a custom blackened steel and glass partition, layered with raw silk sheer draperies, to create a private sleeping area, replete with custom built-in closets. Simple headboard and crisp linens are balanced with a lightly-metallic glazed duvet and a vintage textile pillow. The living space boasts a custom Belgian linen sectional sofa that pulls out into a full-size bed for the couple’s young children who sometimes accompany them. Efficient and inexpensive dining furniture sits comfortably in the main living space and lends clean, Scandinavian functionality for sharing meals. The sculptural handrafted metal ceiling mobile offsets the architecture’s clean lines, defining the space while accentuating the tall ceilings. The kitchenette combines custom cool grey lacquered cabinets with brass fittings, white beveled subway tile, and a warm brushed brass backsplash; an antique Boucherouite runner and textural woven stools that pull up to the kitchen’s coffee counter punctuate the clean palette with warmth and the human scale. The under-counter freezer and refrigerator, along with the 18” dishwasher, are all panelled to match the cabinets, and open shelving to the ceiling maximizes the feeling of the space’s volume. The entry closet doubles as home for a combination washer/dryer unit. The custom bathroom vanity, with open brass legs sitting against floor-to-ceiling marble subway tile, boasts a honed gray marble countertop, with an undermount sink offset to maximize precious counter space and highlight a pendant light. A tall narrow cabinet combines closed and open storage, and a recessed mirrored medicine cabinet conceals additional necessaries. The stand-up shower is kept minimal, with simple white beveled subway tile and frameless glass doors, and is large enough to host a teak and stainless bench for comfort; black sink and bath fittings ground the otherwise light palette. What had been a generic studio apartment became a rich landscape for living.

The Kitchen island countertop is "Summer Hill" from Cambria. We were able to repurpose the triple casement window in the dining room to save the client thousands of dollars.

This homeowner wanted to update the look of the property, save energy and have no maintenance. Problem solved, with insulated vinyl siding by cedar ridge in Aspen white combined with black shutters. The fascia and eaves were also updated. We installed vinyl clad aluminum over the fascia and vinyl soffit for the eaves to encapsulate them from the elements. Now this homeowner will save thousands in energy, painting, and maintenance cost. Plus with a lifetime warranty comes peace of mind. Jeremy Sharrock

View from Great Room looking through the Dining area and towards the Kitchen. The wood trusses are standard pre-engineered prefabricated girder trusses wrapped in trim to simulate true timber trusses. The Owners saved tens of thousands of dollars utilizing this value oriented engineering approach verses going with a true timber framed home.

NO CUSTOM ISLAND NEEDED Because we were able to use the Refresh process on this island, we were able to save the client thousands versus if they had to have an entirely custom island made.

Midnight royal blue is a bold color choice for a master bedroom. The color at once grounds the space and adds a calming tone to an otherwise light color palette. Contemporary pendant lights are suspended from the ceiling and serve to further frame the king-sized bed. With ReAlta, we are introducing for the first time in Charlotte a fully solar community.

The client thought they wanted to move, but it was actually the lack of a pleasing style that they craved. We added indoor trees, plants, large abstract art, custom drapes, a cocktail ottoman, floor lamps, and rugs. Now, they tell us they love their home and have decided to stay, saving them thousands!
