I took a spare bedroom and created a home office. He is in film, so I had the bookcases built to hold all of his DVD's.

In this modern kitchen with acrylic and polymer doors, a completely integrated fridge and coffee machine reinforce the very linear and minimal look of the space. A central island with a secondary sink and four bar stools make the perfect gathering spot.

We completed this stunning basement renovation, featuring a bar and a walk-in wine cellar. The bar is the centerpiece of the basement, with a beautiful countertop and custom-built cabinetry. With its moody and dramatic ambiance, this location proves to be an ideal spot for socializing.

In this custom home, the lower lake level was designed with entertaining in mind. A favorite gathering spot is the warm and welcoming corner bar. The area is defined by impressive 8x8 timber posts and beams including authentic corbels and pinned construction. On one end, a spectacular timber arch frames the barrel-vaulted tongue and grooved ceiling above. Storage and seating are created using beautiful matte gray cabinetry while state of the art appliance make entertaining a breeze. Full-height stone backsplash and walls add to the old-world charm and extend to a must-see wine cellar just a few steps away. Certainly, one of the most unique features is the enclosed glass case that houses one of the homeowner's prized model ships. The case was custom-built using the same cabinetry, arched panels, mirrored back, and specialty lighting. Finally, the fabulous wooden countertop with a lift-up access panel invites all who enter to have a seat and enjoy.

Differences in Installation: Concrete slab is somewhat easy to install, but the material takes time to dry and cure. The installation process includes excavation, grading, preparation of the foundation, setting forms, and pouring the concrete. One of the major downsides to concrete is it can crack when the ground below flexes. It is also very important to get the grading just right with a concrete installation, as it can be a very costly error to fix once the concrete has been poured. Improper concrete grading can lead to low spots which will retain water, leaving discolorations and staining. Paving stones require a lot more preparation which makes for a more labor intensive installation. The paver installation process includes: excavation, grading, sub-base compaction, geotextile fiber install, base preparation, base compaction, sand preparation, lay the pavers, cut the borders, prepare the bond beam, compact the stones, and finally seal the pavers upon completion. Since there is no curing time with paving stones, the paver installation is ready to use immediately upon completion. Also, if the grading happened to be slightly off or settling occurred later down the line, the pavers can easily be readjusted to correct the issue.
