This thoughtful remodel breathes new life into a compact urban footprint by beautifully contrasting rustic, exposed brick walls with sleek, modern elements like the wood-slatted accent paneling. The design leans into a clean, contemporary aesthetic, pairing crisp white cabinetry and textured geometric tile in the kitchen with an earthy, olive-green color palette in the living area. Throughout the space—from the cozy bedroom to the stone-tiled bathroom—vibrant artwork and matte black hardware tie the look together to create a sophisticated, highly rentable guest experience.

The kitchen pairs timeless materials with industrial detailing through exposed brick, a dramatic stainless steel hood, and a black AGA range that serves as the focal point of the space. A dark stone island with integrated sink contrasts the crisp white cabinetry, while open shelving and glass-front storage add both function and visual balance. The restrained palette and layered textures create a sophisticated, loft-inspired kitchen designed for everyday living and entertaining.

The homeowners wanted to improve the layout and function of their tired 1980’s bathrooms. The master bath had a huge sunken tub that took up half the floor space and the shower was tiny and in small room with the toilet. We created a new toilet room and moved the shower to allow it to grow in size. This new space is far more in tune with the client’s needs. The kid’s bath was a large space. It only needed to be updated to today’s look and to flow with the rest of the house. The powder room was small, adding the pedestal sink opened it up and the wallpaper and ship lap added the character that it needed

When these homeowners first approached me to help them update their kitchen, the first thing that came to mind was to open it up. The house was over 70 years old and the kitchen was a small boxed in area, that did not connect well to the large addition on the back of the house. Removing the former exterior, load bearinig, wall opened the space up dramatically. Then, I relocated the sink to the new peninsula and the range to the outside wall. New windows were added to flank the range. The homeowner is an architect and designed the stunning hood that is truly the focal point of the room. The shiplap island is a complex work that hides 3 drawers and spice storage. The original slate floors have radiant heat under them and needed to remain. The new greige cabinet color, with the accent of the dark grayish green on the custom furnuture piece and hutch, truly compiment the floor tones. Added features such as the wood beam that hides the support over the peninsula and doorway helped warm up the space. There is also a feature wall of stained shiplap that ties in the wood beam and ship lap details on the island.

This charming European-inspired home juxtaposes old-world architecture with more contemporary details. The exterior is primarily comprised of granite stonework with limestone accents. The stair turret provides circulation throughout all three levels of the home, and custom iron windows afford expansive lake and mountain views. The interior features custom iron windows, plaster walls, reclaimed heart pine timbers, quartersawn oak floors and reclaimed oak millwork.

Gorgeous hickory cabinets in a slate finish make a statement in this modern kitchen renovation by Thompson Remodeling. To create a clean contrast to the dark cabinetry, we installed white quartz countertops and a pale gray marble tile backsplash. The center island features a linear pendant light, lots of drawers for storage, and accommodates seating for four. A bar and beverage center offers space for a wine refrigerator and shelves for coffee and cocktail supplies. To open up this galley kitchen we removed walls between the kitchen and dining room.

The master bedroom features an MTI acrylic shower pan with teak wood insert. The bath shower valve and faucet are by Brizo, the Litze collection. The floating vanity cabinet is walnut veneer, with ColorQuartz Cotton White. Christopher Wright, CR
