This multi-room remodel in Apex NC by Lavish reimagines a kitchen, primary bath, laundry, and more with warm, timeless transitional style. Our clients wanted hardworking spaces that felt elevated and cohesive throughout the home. Lavish's design-build team anchored the project with a show-stopping kitchen and a spa-like primary bath, carrying a consistent palette of marble, warm wood, and brass from room to room. The remodeled kitchen pairs crisp white upper cabinetry with a rich dark-stained island and base cabinets, a full-height marble backsplash, a marble island with a brass bridge faucet, a pro-style range, and glass bell pendants. The primary bath offers a serene retreat with a freestanding clawfoot-style soaking tub, marble tile walls, a beaded chandelier, and brushed brass fixtures, while a bright custom laundry room rounds out the renovation with white cabinetry and a zellige-tile backsplash. Lavish designs and remodels homes across the Triangle and the North Carolina coast, from Apex and Raleigh to Wrightsville Beach and Wilmington. Planning a remodel?

Inspiration for a mid-sized transitional wooden u-shaped staircase remodel in New York with painted risers

This Bonita Springs home, nestled in the golf course community of Bonita Bay, had never been renovated and lacked sufficient space to accommodate these homeowners’ needs. Working initially with preliminary drawings provided by their daughter who is a licensed architect, Progressive Design Build helped the homeowners establish a preliminary budget and set a construction schedule. Once the couple knew what they wanted and had a design brief in hand, they set about creating a new, traditional and functional room addition. Progressive Design Build teamed up with the architect to produce a final set of working drawings. The house addition consisted of a new master bedroom and master bathroom with vaulted ceilings, built-in cabinetry, and porcelain tile floors. To improve indoor/outdoor flow, Progressive Deign Build also renovated the homeowner’s pool deck. Upon project completion, this project received top honors for remodeling excellence from the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI), receiving a Contractor of the Year (CotY) award. One of the major challenges, other than a very limited lot size, was the threat of a massive hurricane during construction. Construction had to cease for over a week to ensure that there was no damage to the home, property or adjacent properties. Due to the inclement weather situations, the project went two weeks over the estimated time frame. Since completion, Progressive Design Build designed and built two other remodeling projects for this southwest Florida homeowner.

Timeless elegance meets modern innovation. This close-up of Villagio™ pavers reveals more than just their antique charm; It highlights the power of detail. Each cobble-like stone is carefully laid in graceful curves, enhanced by built-in lighting that guides and elevates the experience. Villagio™ offers the look of old European streets with the strength and endurance of Techo-Bloc’s advanced manufacturing. The surface is gently tumbled to create natural texture and character, making it perfect for traditional homes, estate settings, and luxury landscapes. Its compact size and consistent shape allow for intricate patterns like fan layouts or circular bands, as shown here. What makes this driveway even more special is the integration of LED lighting. Seamlessly embedded into the paver design, these lights bring both safety and ambiance, illuminating pathways, defining curves, and turning your entrance into an architectural feature, even after dark. This isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s about creating an experience from the moment you arrive home. Let’s design a driveway that lives beautifully, day and night.

This kitchen with full height backsplash in Gaston came together in Calacatta Lilly, an engineered quartz from AG Stones that gives you that bright white background with soft gray and gold veining moving through it. We used the same stone into the bathroom vanities too, so the whole house reads consistent without repeating the same room twice. Quartz like this is manufactured under controlled conditions, so the veining pattern is engineered to look natural while staying more predictable slab to slab than a lot of natural stone. That consistency matters most in a kitchen, where the counters are doing the real work every day. Calacatta Lilly holds up to knives, hot pans, and the general chaos of cooking without needing much babying. It's non-porous, so there's no sealing schedule to keep track of, no worrying about a glass of wine sitting too long or lemon juice etching a ring into the surface. You wipe it down and move on with your life. Getting the look right across a kitchen this size takes some care at the template stage. We're matching veining direction across the island, the perimeter, and working out where the seams fall so they land somewhere quiet, not right in your line of sight. With a manufactured stone like this, the pattern repeats in a way that actually helps us keep that continuity, but it still takes a careful eye to lay it out so the kitchen looks like one continuous piece rather than a handful of slabs pieced together. In the bathroom, that same white and gray palette does something different. Vanities don't take the abuse a kitchen counter does, so the quartz there is more about keeping a clean, bright look day after day with almost zero maintenance. We finished both spaces with an eased edge, simple and clean, letting the stone itself carry the room instead of the edge detail. Gaston sits right in that stretch of the Midlands where we do a lot of our work, and it's always good to get out there and put a stone like this into a house. Calacatta Lilly gives this kitchen and bath a bright, cohesive look that's going to hold up fine to daily life for a long time to come.
