This amazing remodel by J.S. Brown & Co. in the River Forest neighborhood in Dublin, Ohio was designed with sunshine in mind! By removing an interior wall, the kitchen was completely opened to the adjacent sunroom for maximum views of the spectacular back yard. Also on the mission brief from the homeowners was shady place to enjoy their yard outdoors. A large roof over a paver patio was just the ticket for watching the grandkids run around in cool comfort.

The tour is April 29: 10:00 - 5:00pm April 30: 11:00 - 4:00pm My house is #2 on the tour in Briarcliff which is a neighborhood just north of downtown KCMO. There are 24 homes on this tour which benefits Habitat for Humanity. Tickets to see all 24 house cost $20 at the first house they visit. They can be purchased on line for $18.00.

The view from the lake shows the shallow metal roofs that were leaking, as well as the "Ticket Booth". The large area toward the lake and the area to the right were additions sometime in the past.

Simple drapes are the ticket in this room. They have recently been updated so that they no longer puddle but just kiss the floor with a 1/2" break. Also, the tray ceiling adds structure and makes the room feel even cozier. But it is the warmth of the stone chosen for the fireplace that holds the room together.

It is always a pleasure helping with the Hospital Home Lottery! These homes are large and allow us to be creative and try new things. This lottery home was a clean lined Scandinavian modern home. Some of our favorite features are the sculptural dining room, the basement rec area banquette, and the open concept ensuite. The Nordic style cabinetry paired with clean modern finishes and furniture showcase the modern design. The smoked mirror backsplashes in the bar areas, and open shelving in the kitchen and office provide the sparkle throughout the home. The interesting areas in this home make it memorable and unique around every corner! We are excited to showcase the latest Calgary Health Foundation/Calbridge Homes Lottery Home. Good Luck to everyone that purchased tickets!

They are appreciative of everyone who donated, volunteered or purchased a ticket to win this year’s St. Jude Dream Home, and feel privileged to be able to help such an important cause.

Our homeowner started with a dark kitchen that was in need of updating and a rethink of the original design. An island layout with new coffee centre area was just the ticket to breathe new interest in this kitchen. We started with new Porcelain flooring and custom, Benjamin Moore painted, Canadian made cabinetry, followed by beautiful Quartz countertops. Revamped lighting layout and a new Subway style backsplash really added the final touches and a magic transformation to this great Kitchen! Have a look at before pictures too

Our homeowner had a support wall between the old kitchen and family room and was seeking something that was more open concept. moving the kitchen to the other end of the room and putting a support beam in to open the wall up was just the ticket. New engineered wood flooring was installed, followed by custom, Benjamin Moore painted cabinetry. Beautiful quartz countertops were then added and a subway tile to complete the look. Highlights are the pullout storage, beverage centre, and large island with seating for 7. Awesome!

This charming home needed flooring that matched its personality - this beautiful laminate with deep, rich tones and a patina reminiscent of reclaimed barn wood was just the ticket!

THE PROBLEM Our client adores their traditional layout and their traditional design style. But there were a few things that could be improved including flow and functionality in the kitchen - not to mention the cabinets, counters and appliances that had seen better days. The family room was used heavily for movie viewing, but it did not have a great set-up for the TV and was seriously lacking in the audio department. Their garage entry had become the primary way into the home for the homeowners, however it did not offer the welcoming feeling they wanted to have after a long day. THE SOLUTION To create better flow, we shifted the entry from the mud hall down a bit which gave us the space to add another run of cabinetry and relocate the fridge. We closed up the former dining room wall and converted it into a new office space as both homeowners work from home. Due to the shift in the entry from the mud hall, we also were able to then center the island to where it should be in the room creating some much needed balance. Because we were not creating an open floor plan and removing walls and such, there was more budget for high ticket finishes. One of which was a 11’ custom walnut countertop for the island which became the anchoring design element for the kitchen along with custom cabinetry and high-end appliances.

Inspiration for a kitchen remodel in Columbus

This theatre and concession area has it all! Custom finishes of a 'ticket wicket' booth, concession cabinet with extra storage for even more candy, pull out cabinet sliders for ease of access on either side of the candy shelves, popcorn machine and video games! The door to the theatre is faux leather that is tufted with nailheads. Inside the theatre, the look is more glamourous and accented with reds and plums. Gold crown molding adds to the luxe feel while the damask fabric on the cushions and acoustic panels offer a nod to classic design. They add softness to the space, and so do the custom draperies lining the back wall. Photos by Stephani Buchman Photography
