Freestanding bathtub - traditional master medium tone wood floor freestanding bathtub idea in Indianapolis with white cabinets and marble countertops

This week’s home feature is located in University Park on Purdue Street and was recently renovated by Alair Dallas-Fort Worth. Originally built in 2004, our clients purchased this home in 2019 because they liked the location and the layout. They knew they wanted to update it as a lot of the spaces felt dark and dated. The extensive renovation included an entirely new kitchen, primary bath, powder, with significant upgrades to the living room, bar, study, mudroom and secondary baths. Because the homeowners have a large dog, they chose to live in the home during the remodel. The live-in renovation was made possible by Alair’s careful planning around the family’s schedules along with the temporary addition of an operable kitchen and dining setup in the formal living room. Mid-remodel, COVID-19 struck, but the Alair team quickly adapted and continued to work efficiently to complete the project on time. Upon entering the home, you are greeted by a grand staircase. A bright living room is situated to the left of the entrance and a formal dining room is to the right, punctuated by a marvelous chandelier. The home features a large combined family room and kitchen area featuring a dark-hued, custom metal commercial vent-a-hood that draws a stark contrast to the brilliant white marble slab island. The overhauled bar area includes the addition of a wine room featuring ample storage for the homeowners’ collection. This combined living area is truly an entertainer’s dream. The second floor consists of the renovated primary suite, two additional bedrooms and a refinished media room. The primary suite is complete with a large, walk-in closet and a spa-inspired bath with a large soaking bathtub, rain shower, double vanities and floor-to-ceiling custom wood cabinets. Alair Dallas-Fort Worth is an award-winning custom home building and renovation company currently serving the great communities of Park Cities, Preston Hollow, North Dallas, East Dallas, Plano, Frisco, Prosper, Salina, Rockwall, Richardson and surrounding areas. Utilizing their proprietary construction management system, Client Control™, Alair builds a full-disclosure partnership with its clients by allowing customers to maximize their involvement in the home building and renovation process. Alair truly believes that Living Better Starts Here™; from multi-million dollar whole home remodels, additions and custom new builds to major kitchen and bath renovations, all with the same level of care, craftsmanship, and top-notch customer service.

Calming and Warm, this Traditional Grand Island Bathroom remodel is a really relaxing space. Bright Cherry cabinets are complimented perfectly by a creamy beige shower tile. Dark Accents in the shower bring back the wood trim throughout the bathroom. This custom shower features a dual control setup that can delicately change the pressure and temperature to suit your needs. Using an acrylic pan in the shower base makes the install process a little easier, but you can still customize with a built in tile shower seat. This shower even features a custom built niche box to help fit the narrow shower space. No matter the size of your space, you can design a bathroom to suit your style and needs!

Brazilian Mahogany Euro Style cabinets, twin Bosch dishwashers, a Wolf dual fuel range & hood & abundant countertop surfaces create the perfect kitchen for entertaining.

THE SETUP Upon moving to Glen Ellyn, the homeowners were eager to infuse their new residence with a style that resonated with their modern aesthetic sensibilities. The primary bathroom, while spacious and structurally impressive with its dramatic high ceilings, presented a dated, overly traditional appearance that clashed with their vision. Design objectives: Transform the space into a serene, modern spa-like sanctuary. Integrate a palette of deep, earthy tones to create a rich, enveloping ambiance. Employ a blend of organic and natural textures to foster a connection with nature. THE REMODEL Design challenges: Take full advantage of the vaulted ceiling Source unique marble that is more grounding than fanciful Design minimal, modern cabinetry with a natural, organic finish Offer a unique lighting plan to create a sexy, Zen vibe Design solutions: To highlight the vaulted ceiling, we extended the shower tile to the ceiling and added a skylight to bathe the area in natural light. Sourced unique marble with raw, chiseled edges that provide a tactile, earthy element. Our custom-designed cabinetry in a minimal, modern style features a natural finish, complementing the organic theme. A truly creative layered lighting strategy dials in the perfect Zen-like atmosphere. The wavy protruding wall tile lights triggered our inspiration but came with an unintended harsh direct-light effect so we sourced a solution: bespoke diffusers measured and cut for the top and bottom of each tile light gap. THE RENEWED SPACE The homeowners dreamed of a tranquil, luxurious retreat that embraced natural materials and a captivating color scheme. Our collaborative effort brought this vision to life, creating a bathroom that not only meets the clients’ functional needs but also serves as a daily sanctuary. The carefully chosen materials and lighting design enable the space to shift its character with the changing light of day. “Trust the process and it will all come together,” the home owners shared. “Sometimes we just stand here and think, ‘Wow, this is lovely!'”

Inspiration for a transitional living room remodel in Chicago

Main Line Kitchen Design is a unique business model! We are a group of skilled Kitchen Designers each with many years of experience planning kitchens around the Delaware Valley. And we are cabinet dealers for 8 nationally distributed cabinet lines much like traditional showrooms. Appointment Information Unlike full showrooms open to the general public, Main Line Kitchen Design works only by appointment. Appointments can be scheduled days, nights, and weekends either in your home or in our office and selection center. During office appointments we display clients kitchens on a flat screen TV and help them look through 100’s of sample doorstyles, almost a thousand sample finish blocks and sample kitchen cabinets. During home visits we can bring samples, take measurements, and make design changes on laptops showing you what your kitchen can look like in the very room being renovated. This is more convenient for our customers and it eliminates the expense of staffing and maintaining a larger space that is open to walk in traffic. We pass the significant savings on to our customers and so we sell cabinetry for less than other dealers, even home centers like Lowes and The Home Depot. We believe that since a web site like Houzz.com has over half a million kitchen photos, any advantage to going to a full kitchen showroom with full kitchen displays has been lost. Almost no customer today will ever get to see a display kitchen in their door style and finish because there are just too many possibilities. And the design of each kitchen is unique anyway. Our design process allows us to spend more time working on our customer’s designs. This is what we enjoy most about our business and it is what makes the difference between an average and a great kitchen design. Among the kitchen cabinet lines we design with and sell are Jim Bishop, 6 Square, Fabuwood, Brighton, and Wellsford Fine Custom Cabinetry.

We are very proud of this project, as it was a full-home, very involved renovation process and included full-service decorating for the entire home. The house was originally had a mountain lodge feel. We stripped that look and brought in a classic American welcoming vibe for the main living areas, and more or a sleek, contemporary look for the master suite. All bathrooms had their own new appeal, representing the taste of each family member.

Weathered Antique Flooring, Paneling, and Timbers come together in this rustic cabin kitchen, layering reclaimed wood from the floor to the ceiling for a warm, cohesive feel that fits perfectly against the forest views beyond the windows. Each element carries the same honey and reddish brown tones and natural patina that only comes from decades of aging, tying the entire space together. Sourced directly from a 19th or early 20th century barn, this Weathered Antique wood retains its unique sawn faces and naturally aged character even after more than a hundred years. At Manomin Resawn Timbers, every plank, panel, and timber goes through a detailed process of denailing, kiln drying, and precision milling, preserving that antique charm while preparing the wood for a beautiful, functional place in a modern home. Whether you are a homebuilder, a home remodeling contractor, or a homeowner looking to bring reclaimed wood flooring, paneling, or timbers into a kitchen or any living space, Manomin Resawn Timbers has been helping people discover the antique charm of reclaimed wood since 2002. Visit our showroom in Hugo, MN or reach out to us with a call or a message to get started.

The design inspiration for this remodel was lifestyle, clean lines, and an uncluttered look were the inspirations. Part of the design process is to gather information during an explorative session where we discuss how the kitchen will ultimately need to function and integrate into the overall style of the family and their home. The clients and designer chose Aria Stone Gallery's bianco everest marble for the kitchen countertops.

This is a Dolby Atmos 7.2.4 Home Theater room consisting of Key Ultimate Home Theater Speakers which are all THX certified. All of the speakers are hidden behind all the custom made wall treatments that surround all the wood working. The Screen Innovations Black Diamond Film Screen is 144" diagonal and is setup with 2:35:1 to accommodate true widescreen. The screen has LED back lighting for added ambience. The video projector is being done by a Kef Laser projector so no bulbs to replace. The signal processing for both video and audio is by an Integra Processor and all the speakers are being driven off Parasound Halo series amplifiers. The seating was custom made by United Leather seating. The original chair the client liked was from another manufacture that no longer sold seating so we shipped it to them and they custom built them but with their standards. All control is from Control 4 to include A/V, Lighting and HVAC integration for the theater.

This magnificent custom fish tank was designed and installed by Aqua Creations of NJ to enhance the kitchen with living art. the size is 72" long by 24" deep by 36" tall built from "starphire Glass. The decor is a hand made coral reef build with custom corals . The substrate used is actually crushed glass. While using high end LED lighting, This aquarium adds warmth and life to this beautiful setting. This custom bow front aquarium is everything short of a typical setup. The space we worked with (see image) was small wasted closet space and upon seeing the potential we hit the road running. With a small floor space we chose to incorporate height to balance it all out. The filtration and water processing systems was plumbed to the basement to reduce sound.
