The owners of this Craftsman home loved its character, historic details, and established neighborhood, but after moving into the home, they found themselves working around a floor plan that couldn’t support the needs of their family. The bathrooms were the biggest source of frustration. Upstairs, family members shared a single hall bathroom, while downstairs, an outdated Jack and Jill bathroom occupied valuable square footage that prevented the home from functioning as a true primary suite. The renovation focused on reimagining two bathrooms and creating a new half bath from an unused closet. Like many older homes, the project revealed hidden conditions once construction began. Outdated knob-and-tube wiring and signs of water intrusion. The former Jack and Jill bathroom was transformed into a dedicated primary bathroom, finally allowing the adjacent bedroom to function as the primary suite it was always meant to be. The existing layout featured an undersized sink, a clawfoot tub, and a configuration that felt cramped and inefficient. By reworking the space, the new primary bath provides improved circulation, better functionality, and a more relaxing experience. A Japanese soaking tub was incorporated into the primary bathroom, offering a striking focal point while overcoming the challenges presented by the home's narrow openings and existing structure. Upstairs, the shared family bathroom was completely updated with a larger vanity, an open shower, improved storage, and refreshed finishes designed to stand up to daily use. Additional storage cabinetry was added outside the bedrooms to help support a busy household while keeping the bathrooms uncluttered. Luxury and comfort were priorities throughout the project. Both full bathrooms received heated tile floors and high-end bidet toilets, creating spa-like spaces that elevate everyday routines. To further improve functionality, an underutilized closet off the den was converted into a new half bath. This addition provides a convenient guest bathroom on the main level without requiring visitors to access private family spaces. Throughout the design process, the homeowners brought extensive research and inspiration to the table. Detailed renderings and close collaboration helped translate their vision into a cohesive design that reflected both their style and their priorities. The design-build approach allowed decisions to be evaluated from both a design and construction perspective, helping the team navigate the complexities of remodeling an older home while minimizing costly surprises. The completed renovation successfully balances historic character with modern living. By creating a true primary suite, improving the shared family bathroom, adding a convenient guest bath, and restoring key exterior elements, the home now functions more comfortably for the family while maintaining the Craftsman charm that first drew them to the property.

To move or not to move — that is the question many homeowners are asking as they consider whether to upgrade their existing residence or pack up and find a new one. It was that exact question that was discussed by this homeowner as they evaluated their traditional two-story home in Fontana. Built in 2001, this cedar-sided 3,500-square-foot home features five bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, and a full basement. During renovation projects like the these, we have the ability and flexibility to work across many different architectural styles. Our main focus is to work with clients to get a good sense of their personal style, what features they’re most attracted to, and balance those with the fundamental principles of good design – function, balance, proportion and flow – to make sure that they have a unified vision for the home. After extensive demolition of the kitchen, family room, master bath, laundry room, powder room, master bedroom and adjacent hallways, we began transforming the space into one that the family could truly utilize in an all new way. In addition to installing structural beams to support the second floor loads and pushing out two non-structural walls in order to enlarge the master bath, the renovation team installed a new kitchen island, added quartz countertops in the kitchen and master bath plus installed new Kohler sinks, toilets and accessories in the kitchen and bath. Underscoring the belief that an open great room should offer a welcoming environment, the renovated space now offers an inviting haven for the homeowners and their guests. The open family room boasts a new gas fireplace complete with custom surround, mantel and bookcases. Underfoot, hardwood floors featuring American walnut add warmth to the home’s interior. Continuity is achieved throughout the first floor by accenting posts, handrails and spindles all with the same rich walnut.

Door Style: Parkside Inset Construction: Flush Inset Wood Type: HDM Paint: Showplace Paints - Black After purchasing this modern style ranch home built in the 1980's the homeowners wanted to open up the floor plan and modernize the look and feel. Creating a functional space that met the cooking needs of a large active family while supporting entertaining large parties with ease was very important. With good bones and many appealing architectural details already in place, the home just needed a make over with good design to become the next better version of itself. One of the first hurdles in developing this design was creating a contemporary Scandinavian feel without upper wall cabinets, so special attention needed to be placed on storage needs. This was addressed through the use of multiple sets of wide, large drawer banks, tray divider cabinets, and storage on the back side of the island's counter top overhang. This created the necessary space to ensure every pot and pan had a home, and in the correct place for its intended purpose. Entertainment needs were addressed by creating a separate space dedicated to wine columns, a coffee station, and associated glassware. The homeowners came into the project with a desire for black painted shaker style cabinetry with large gold hardware; this was an appealing challenge for the design team at Haggard Home Cabinetry & Design, who loved the unique opportunity to "color outside of the lines" and stretch their creative talents. A combination of sky lights and large windows flood the space with natural light and enhance the dark painted choice in cabinetry. In the end, the homeowners brought their tasteful vision of a great design to this project which became beautiful reality in a space they will love for years to come. Completed by Haggard Home Cabinetry & Design in Norcross, GA, this beautiful project was a 2019 Showplace Cabinetry National Award Winner – Best Kitchen Design for a New Showplace Dealer.

The bathrooms in this client's home did not fit her relaxed, sophisticated farmhouse style. We overhauled the master bathroom and brought in a custom oak vanity, an elegant mix of Carrara & Dolomite marble tile and a gorgeous freestanding bath that opened up the space. There are many unique details in this bathroom including the sliding barn door, tiled shower niche and styled shelves. The kids' bathroom was a partial remodel, but we kept the same attention to detail. This bath has fun, patterned porcelain floor tile, a custom oak vanity and medicine cabinet, and new wainscoting. We looked to Benjamin Moore paints to brighten up both bathrooms. Now these spaces are beautiful, functional and more spacious.

The family's once-loved home had become a source of frustration. Their kitchen, a space meant for gathering and creating, felt cramped and outdated. Limited storage and poor organization made meal prep a tedious task, and entertaining guests a logistical nightmare. The laundry room, often overlooked, was equally problematic. Its cramped layout and lack of storage made laundry day a chore, and the noise of the washing machine echoed through the living room. To compound the issue, the absence of dedicated office spaces made working from home a constant struggle. One makeshift office was squeezed into the dining room, while another was relegated to the basement. The family was hesitant to embark on a major renovation, fearing the challenges and uncertainties that come with such a project. Finding a reliable contractor, ensuring timely completion, and worrying about potential shoddy workmanship were all valid concerns. We understood their anxieties and were committed to providing a smooth and stress-free experience. Our team crafted a design that addressed each of their concerns, transforming their home into a functional and stylish space. We reimagined the laundry room, creating a custom storage solution and incorporating a stackable washer and dryer. The open hallway to the living room was enclosed, creating a spacious closet with ample storage. The laundry room now seamlessly connected to the kitchen, simplifying the grocery unloading process. A former juliette balcony was converted into a dedicated office space, providing a peaceful and productive work-from-home environment. The dated and cluttered ensuite bathroom received a luxurious makeover. A clever pull-out storage system in the shower wall and a spacious niche provided much-needed organization. While every renovation project has its challenges, this one was remarkably smooth. The only significant hurdle was some additional structural work required in the basement to support the new office space. Our experienced team handled this efficiently, minimizing any disruption. The final result is a home that truly reflects the family's personality and lifestyle. The laundry room, now a cheerful and organized space with soft green cabinets, patterned floor tiles, and gold accents, showcases our attention to detail. The kitchen is a stunning centerpiece, featuring a striking combination of blue and white cabinets, dark hardwood floors, and a sleek white backsplash. The adjacent beverage bar, with its glass-fronted upper cabinets, provides an elegant space for entertaining. The ensuite bathroom is a spa-like retreat, with large-format marble tiles, a black vanity, and chrome fixtures creating an atmosphere of understated luxury. The renovation has had a profound impact on the family's daily life. Ample storage throughout the house has banished clutter, making it easier to maintain a tidy home. The seamless flow from the laundry room to the kitchen has streamlined the grocery unloading process, and the dedicated office spaces have transformed the work-from-home experience. Beyond the physical transformation, it was the shared moments and laughter that made this project truly special. The family's enthusiasm and good humor were contagious. One of the clients, with his big personality, even starred in a walk-through video of the finished project, showcasing his infectious joy. From choosing tiles to navigating unexpected challenges, the entire process was filled with warmth and collaboration. Even their four-year-old son, initially shy, warmed up to our site leader, Gus, nicknaming him "Gus the Bus," a moniker that endeared him to the entire team.

This North York home renovation was designed to perfectly suit a vibrant professional couple, their two active teenagers, and their pets, combining beauty and functionality to match their busy lifestyle. The home needed a functional overhaul, particularly in the kitchen, powder room, master ensuite, and underutilized basement. The clients, eager for an upgrade but short on time, entrusted the project to a team that prioritized communication, thoughtful design, and a seamless process. The kitchen was completely reimagined with custom cabinetry, maximizing storage and accessibility. A redesigned island now allows access from all sides, improving flow for cooking and family gatherings. New countertops, contemporary flooring, and a balanced mix of crisp tiles and warm wall tones created a cohesive, inviting atmosphere. The master ensuite was transformed into a luxurious retreat with elegant stone-style tiles, an expanded glass-enclosed shower, and a striking tiled feature wall framing the bathtub, delivering both beauty and improved functionality. To refresh the powder room and entryway on a budget, professional grout cleaning gave existing tiles a new life. Modern lighting and bright wallpaper added charm and energy, welcoming guests into the home. The basement, tailored for the teens and pets, became a cozy entertainment space, separated by subtle partitions for added privacy and comfort. One notable challenge involved seamlessly transitioning between wood-look porcelain tiles in the kitchen and the existing hardwood floors—a task achieved through careful planning and execution, ensuring a flawless blend. A highlight of the project came when the client saw the near-final result and expressed amazement at the transformation, calling it a “WOW factor.” The result is a home that perfectly balances style and practicality. The streamlined kitchen, spa-like ensuite, refreshed powder room, and tailored basement now enhance daily life and encourage quality time as a family. This project stands as a testament to thoughtful design and expert craftsmanship, creating a space that reflects the family’s energy and personality while supporting their needs for years to come.

It was that exact question that was discussed by this homeowner as they evaluated their traditional two-story home in Fontana. Built in 2001, this cedar-sided 3,500-square-foot home features five bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, and a full basement. During renovation projects like the these, we have the ability and flexibility to work across many different architectural styles. Our main focus is to work with clients to get a good sense of their personal style, what features they’re most attracted to, and balance those with the fundamental principles of good design – function, balance, proportion and flow – to make sure that they have a unified vision for the home. After extensive demolition of the kitchen, family room, master bath, laundry room, powder room, master bedroom and adjacent hallways, we began transforming the space into one that the family could truly utilize in an all new way. In addition to installing structural beams to support the second floor loads and pushing out two non-structural walls in order to enlarge the master bath, the renovation team installed a new kitchen island, added quartz countertops in the kitchen and master bath plus installed new Kohler sinks, toilets and accessories in the kitchen and bath. Underscoring the belief that an open great room should offer a welcoming environment, the renovated space now offers an inviting haven for the homeowners and their guests. The open family room boasts a new gas fireplace complete with custom surround, mantel and bookcases. Underfoot, hardwood floors featuring American walnut add warmth to the home’s interior. Continuity is achieved throughout the first floor by accenting posts, handrails and spindles all with the same rich walnut.

The owners of this Craftsman home loved its character, historic details, and established neighborhood, but after moving into the home, they found themselves working around a floor plan that couldn’t support the needs of their family. The bathrooms were the biggest source of frustration. Upstairs, family members shared a single hall bathroom, while downstairs, an outdated Jack and Jill bathroom occupied valuable square footage that prevented the home from functioning as a true primary suite. The renovation focused on reimagining two bathrooms and creating a new half bath from an unused closet. Like many older homes, the project revealed hidden conditions once construction began. Outdated knob-and-tube wiring and signs of water intrusion. The former Jack and Jill bathroom was transformed into a dedicated primary bathroom, finally allowing the adjacent bedroom to function as the primary suite it was always meant to be. The existing layout featured an undersized sink, a clawfoot tub, and a configuration that felt cramped and inefficient. By reworking the space, the new primary bath provides improved circulation, better functionality, and a more relaxing experience. A Japanese soaking tub was incorporated into the primary bathroom, offering a striking focal point while overcoming the challenges presented by the home's narrow openings and existing structure. Upstairs, the shared family bathroom was completely updated with a larger vanity, an open shower, improved storage, and refreshed finishes designed to stand up to daily use. Additional storage cabinetry was added outside the bedrooms to help support a busy household while keeping the bathrooms uncluttered. Luxury and comfort were priorities throughout the project. Both full bathrooms received heated tile floors and high-end bidet toilets, creating spa-like spaces that elevate everyday routines. To further improve functionality, an underutilized closet off the den was converted into a new half bath. This addition provides a convenient guest bathroom on the main level without requiring visitors to access private family spaces. Throughout the design process, the homeowners brought extensive research and inspiration to the table. Detailed renderings and close collaboration helped translate their vision into a cohesive design that reflected both their style and their priorities. The design-build approach allowed decisions to be evaluated from both a design and construction perspective, helping the team navigate the complexities of remodeling an older home while minimizing costly surprises. The completed renovation successfully balances historic character with modern living. By creating a true primary suite, improving the shared family bathroom, adding a convenient guest bath, and restoring key exterior elements, the home now functions more comfortably for the family while maintaining the Craftsman charm that first drew them to the property.
