Nearly every inch of this 1908 Ravenna home was upgraded, and the interior layout was re-envisioned. On the main floor, the kitchen and dining room locations were swapped to connect the kitchen to the living room. A spa-like bathroom was added upstairs to create an inviting new master suite, with heated floors, a double vanity, and a large shower. A spacious walk-in closet with a custom-designed organization system completes the luxurious appointments. The basement was dug down for increased head height, and a new laundry room, bedroom, and bonus room were added. All new mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems were installed, and the exterior was refreshed, with all new siding and rebuilt porches, including high-end composite decking and railings. The home is now an oasis, welcoming its owners and guests with gleaming new hardwood flooring, custom cabinetry and mill work, professional-grade appliances, layered lighting, and a gorgeous and warming soapstone fireplace surround.

Another approach would be a "Random Pattern" Which isn't exactly random! In order to have a balanced end result one must layout the tiles and find the randomness prior to installation. To do this, measure out the space and lay the tiles out in a larger room or garage. Swap tiles around until your happy with the end result.

The living room's wood paneling was treated to a sand and polish, giving it new life. New sconces were added above the stone fireplace. The ceiling was treated with the same rich teal carried in from the entry hall, with an inset of gold leaf paper. An old fan was swapped for a mid-century sputnik, and mod sconces were added to the walls to brighten the room. While the client retained the original furniture, upholstered storage benches and throw pillows in CS Stockwell's classic Martinique print added a touch of the mid-century Polynesian style so renters can feel those vacation vibes.

Carrara marble and soft blues were used to cultivate a traditional and timeless sanctuary for these clients who plan to retire and live in this home for many years to come. We removed the drop-in jetted tub to opt for a large walk-in shower. This swap allowed us to dedicate the previous shower location to a coat closet in the entry and an expansive bathroom vanity with excellent storage.

There's something special about revisiting a project years later and making it even better! This patio cover, originally built in 2015, got a stunning upgrade after a tree fall led to the home's reconstruction. While opening up the patio ceiling to access the home's MEP lines, we seized the opportunity to enhance every detail. ✨ Fresh Features & Upgrades: ✔ Stained ceiling upgrade – Replacing the original white beadboard for a richer, elevated look ✔ Smoker-friendly screened wing – Complete with a 30" directional fan to keep the smoke out ✔ Enhanced lighting & new fixtures – A brighter, more refined space and additional electrical for future use ✔ Outdoor kitchen transformation – Swapping out the old gas grill for a Blackstone & salamander oven ✔ New walls, doors & screens – Bringing comfort and style together ✔Smokeless Fireplace Addition For the ultimate outdoor retreat, we incorporated a smokeless fireplace, perfect for cozy evenings without the hassle of lingering smoke. What started as a repair turned into a complete reimagining of the space—and the result is something truly exceptional! What do you think of the transformation? ?

The new space looks nothing like it was before. Original kitchen was too small, and adjacent areas had a few other problems. The front door opened straight into the wall of a long narrow hallway. It created a 90 degree turn to get into the family room. The door between the kitchen and dining room made the traffic flow awkward for both areas. Coat closet in the front hallway located right across the stairwell, created potential fall hazard when opening the door. Solution: With the rear porch door left in place, the two side windows were swapped and the kitchen was relocated to the opposite wall. Hallway walls were taken down and the coat closet was relocated away from the stairs. Door opening between the dining room and former kitchen was restored. After remodeling, all rooms became bigger and more functional. New beautiful kitchen has a central island and a built-in breakfast nook. Family room also feels more open. Dining Room has a better traffic flow and holds the potential for a bigger table to seat more guests.

Relocating from their home in Brisbane, Australia with ocean views to the Pacific, our clients envisioned a refresh for their new lakefront cottage on Pine Lake in West Bloomfield, Michigan. Completed in July 2024, we created new spaces, reimagined old ones, and even swapped places for a primary bedroom and its en suite bath. Our goal was to create a serene and soothing spa- like experience for the bathroom, all while maintaining gorgeous lake views. But this reconfiguration presented some challenges. The primary bedroom was oversized, while its adjacent bath was tiny and crowded. We completely flipped the locations of the bedroom and bathroom, even rerouting plumbing over the bar in the lower level to accommodate the freestanding tub. To maximize space, we designed large, walk-in dressing pantries that are as functional as they are beautiful, and lead to the large dual custom vanity. The vanity itself is freestanding to provide access for hand towel bath hardware on its sides. The his-and-hers unit contains built-in dividers, laundry hampers and trash pullouts to maximize its function. An enclosed water closet allows for privacy in the open concept bathroom, and is placed beyond the cabinetry. The star of this space is the large enclosed wet room. As the focal point of the bathroom, its oversized tiled walls and deep built-in bench allow for a steam or soaking in the tub while enjoying stunning lake views. The wet room is spacious and serene, and perfect for an end to a Michigan winter day.

Bathroom makeover in St Charles. Swapped the placement of bath and shower- in lieu of a tub we did a water closet for privacy. Painted existing cabinets, subway tile shower with Schluter System prepping, floating counter top bench and floating wood shelves.

This remodel took a dated and cramped bathroom and transformed it into a classy oasis for our Lowry clients. The clients had a limited budget and wanted to leave the space as in-place as possible. However, the large drop in tub ate valuable floor space and a half wall between the shower and tub had become a holding place for random items without a home. The thick frame on the shower glass made the shower feel extremely small, and the dated lighting and fixtures further depressed the space. We proposed a traditional and elegant design that consider the client's budgetary and spatial constraints. We removed the existing drop-in tub and replaced it with a lovely free-standing soaker. The length of this tub is short, but the depth is exaggerated, making it an ideal replacement in this tiny footprint. The shower glass was swapped for framless glass that boldly expands space. We tore out the existing carpet and installed gorgeous wood-look tile that adds depth and warmth to the room. The clients opted to keep their existing vanity to save cost, so a new top was added to bring the aesthetic up to the level of the new additions. The wall paint was taken from a buttery yellow to a soft gray-green, accented by a darker version of this same color on the siding barn door and toilet room door. New vanity lights, faucets, and storage shelves were installed to help our clients organize and keep things off the counter tops. Finally, new custom up-down window shades were curated for the bathroom to add to the final touch. This space is a simple scope with a dramatic transformation that introduces a timeless look for years to come.

Our homeowner had worked with us in the past and asked us to design and renovate their 1980’s style master bathroom and closet into a modern oasis with a more functional layout. The original layout was chopped up and an inefficient use of space. Keeping the windows where they were, we simply swapped the vanity and the tub, and created an enclosed stool room. The shower was redesigned utilizing a gorgeous tile accent wall which was also utilized on the tub wall of the bathroom. A beautiful free-standing tub with modern tub filler were used to modernize the space and added a stunning focal point in the room. Two custom tall medicine cabinets were built to match the vanity and the closet cabinets for additional storage in the space with glass doors. The closet space was designed to match the bathroom cabinetry and provide closed storage without feeling narrow or enclosed. The outcome is a striking modern master suite that is not only functional but captures our homeowners’ great style.

This is a 1920's house that has limited space. We removed the drop ceiling and brought the cabinets all of the way up to allow for optimal usage of space. We also added a pot filler over the stove and re-designed the corner cabinet for better usage of space.

Total layout change as the living room, kitchen and dining room were all 3 separate rooms. We knocked down all the walls to make it an open floor plan that flows and connects all 3 spaces. We also extended the kitchen and deck out further to make it even bigger. Adde the large slider doors and windows in the living room to keep it open and connected with the outdoor space and so you could see the gorgeous view of the lake they live on. Added a pantry, and swapped the laundry and half bath to make it more convenient for both both indoor use and for easy access from the exterior when guests are over!

This gorgeous new kitchen used to be just about half the size before we stepped in for renovations. Not only did we open up the space, but we completely changed nearly every design aspect! The kitchen went from a U-shape to an L-shape, we added an island with seating, swapped laminate counters for quartz and upgraded the backsplash tile. We replaced the old wood-tone cabinets with sleek, painted cabinets - and installed under cabinet lighting and plugs to keep the counters looking bright and clutter-free.

We swapped out the rug in the living room but removed the one in the dining room to open the space. Added something sparkly on the table that also had height and depth. all the accessories and art (minus the family pics) are from our staging collection.

This stylish family of four came to us yearning for added functionality with flair. The couple recently updated other areas of the home on their own quite beautifully, but realized they needed the help of professionals when it came to the kitchen and mudroom. The new kitchen plan enlarged the island with additional seating, eliminated soffits for extra storage and an updated look, and swapped out the desk for a message center with a hidden charging/drop area. A cozy banquette was designed for the eat-in area of the kitchen. Drawers below the bench add storage to this gathering spot. Aesthetic elements with a soft industrial feel to compliment the new interiors were desired. Beautiful island detailing with tall brackets, panels and base molding in a lovely grey paint in contrast to the white perimeter create a focal point for the space. The homeowner sourced a fun light fixture to top off the island. This along with a stainless chimney hood and appliances add to the overall industrial appeal. Grey cabinetry in the mudroom flows with the kitchen while adding cubbies and a bench with lockers above. A cabinetry surround for the washer and dryer integrates the built-ins in a space that works hard while looking pretty.
