Many West Lafayette homeowners want to change their kitchens, whether because it functions poorly, their tastes have evolved, the kitchen is deteriorating, or they simply want to change. Tackling several common pain points in their older kitchen, these West Lafayette homeowners approached Riverside Construction with a desire to open up their living area and update all the kitchen amenities including the fixtures, cabinets, and appliances. With peninsula-like counters that were too low, the kitchen also lacked much-needed countertop space. Still yet, the homeowners wanted to add a larger window above the sink to bring in natural light and expand the view of the ravine in the backyard. Riverside Construction took out the wall separating the living room from the kitchen, and changed the layout (from U-shaped to L-shaped) to create the larger, more functional space our clients were looking for. We swapped the old white cabinetry for new custom Wellborn shaker-style cabinets in a coffee stain and installed a 'City Lights Tokyo' Daltile tile backsplash. The countertops were topped with Giallo Verona granite. An oversize island was designed into the space to match the new custom cabinetry and provided comfortable seating for five, also eliminating the need for a kitchen table. The old back door was replaced with a large sliding glass door letting in more natural light. Other highlights of this kitchen remodel include a beautiful Maglia Bronze chandelier that creates a stunning focal point, along with warm and durable Bella Cera Sisters chester engineered hickory hardwood flooring throughout.

For this master bathroom remodel, we were tasked to blend in some of the existing finishes of the home to make it modern and desert-inspired. We found this one-of-a-kind marble mosaic that would blend all of the warmer tones with the cooler tones and provide a focal point to the space. We filled in the drop-in bath tub and made it a seamless walk-in shower with a linear drain. The brass plumbing fixtures play off of the warm tile selections and the black bath accessories anchor the space. We were able to match their existing travertine flooring and finish it off with a simple, stacked subway tile on the two adjacent shower walls. We smoothed all of the drywall throughout and made simple changes to the vanity like swapping out the cabinet hardware, faucets and light fixture, for a totally custom feel. The walnut cabinet hardware provides another layer of texture to the space.

This Master Bedroom was updated by simply painting the old wood bed with charcoal chalk paint. and a swap for new hardware. We opted for crystal door knobs to create a bit more glam. New luxury bedding and faux minky blanket for an added touch of elegance.

Our client had been using the same kitchen for 20 years and was ready for a fresh, modern update. Along with a desire for aesthetic change, they also wanted a more functional and efficient space. To bring their vision to life, we replaced their outdated wooden-style, low cabinets with sleek, contemporary designs. The dark and uninviting countertops and flooring were swapped for lighter, more refreshing tones, instantly brightening up the space. At the client's special request, we designed a sophisticated European-style kitchen featuring elegant gray cabinets, creating a refined and modern ambiance. To enhance the luxurious feel, we incorporated bold black fixtures, including a stylish sink, faucet, and handles, adding a striking contrast to the space. The flooring was upgraded with high-quality LVT, carefully selected to complement the new cabinetry and overall design. The result? A stunning, functional, and inviting kitchen that exceeded our client’s expectations. They were absolutely thrilled with the transformation and delighted with our exceptional service.

The Courtyard Oaisis Trellises were created as the focal point for our client’s revamped outdoor living space. They were designed to make a statement all their own during the dormant winter months, and to sustain and emphasize the expanding growth of vines during the summer months. The wood frame is oil rubbed teak and the wire mesh is a combination of stainless steel and aluminum. The stone inserts are removable and can be changed and swapped seasonally or along with furniture upgrades or changes in personal taste. All of the materials were selected for their look and feel, as well as their durability in outdoor climates to ensure beauty and enjoyment for years to come.

Modernized this kitchen by bringing in lighter flooring, added high, upper cabinets, pendant lighting, removed shelving to add open shelving, moved location of microwave, added a hood above stove, swapped out all new appliances and created a waterfall island.

This bathroom at the end of the long hall used to be called, “the haunted bathroom,” and if you saw the before pictures you’d understand why, but they’re too scary so we can’t show them! This bathroom went through a complete metamorphosis. We swapped the location of the shower and vanity, removed the radiator and replaced it with a heated floor, removed a vent duct to keep the ceiling high, and removed very old and heavy plaster walls. Even the window is new. Because it’s a small bathroom with a shower that won’t be used often we opted for a wet room style shower. The custom built floating vanity by Leah of Saving Face Cabinetry is made of teak and coated in a marine grade finish. It boasts a utility sink and large amounts of storage, and it’s the treasure chest at the bottom of our sea of hand made ceramic tiles from Poland. Each tile is unique and makes the bathroom feel like a natural jewel at the end of the hallway. Like the booty in a treasure chest, we stuck with a brushed gold finish for all the bathroom’s accessories and plumbing fixtures. Once the bathroom renovation was complete, we set to work designing and actually painting the mural on the ceiling. We wanted it to have an antique fresco quality so the faded colors and the choppy blue outlines help it look like it’s been there for over a hundred years. It also made Anna feel like her back was 100 years old, but it was worth it!!

Star D Services, LLC I, Cooper (Owner of Star D Services, LLC) hung each and every one of those mounts and pictures etc. Every few Months or so I go back to take down the smallest ones (or whichever the customer wants) and swap them out for his son's newer bigger mounts. Always adding to the collection. The mounts are not a millimeter off from one mount to the next or from one wall to the next. I don't have pictures anymore from 2015 but we also helped a Master Carpenter and planed and installed the wood floor as well as much more carpentry work to complete the building.

Note we've swapped location of refrigerator and wall oven -- creating a much more functional use of space and work triangle.

At our Winter Sun project, the house was very Tuscan Old World, and our homeowners were wanting a change from all the dark colors. We updated the kitchen, master bathroom and the powder room but kept existing travertine flooring. In the master bathroom we kept all existing tile, swapped out the drop in tub that was taking up the bathroom for a freestanding tub. We redesigned and installed all the new vanity inset cabinetry making it feel more custom. Adding the furniture legs and bump out makes the vanities feel like beautiful pieces of furniture.
