We updated this small Minneapolis kitchen by adding a peninsula for extra storage and seating, creating space for a dishwasher for ease of cleaning dishes, and a pantry for extra storage. The ultimate goal was to create more usable space within the existing kitchen footprint, freshen up the kitchen through the use of lighting and brighter colors on the floor, backsplash, and paint; as well as stick with the charm of this cute Minneapolis home.

When we purchased our Mount Pleasant brick ranch, we knew we wanted to add a screened porch to the inviting backyard at some point. Our ultimate goal was to create a comfortable outdoor room, and I feel like that was accomplished! We added beams, beadboard, recessed lighting and, of course, a fan. Decorations were fun – we hung curtains to give it a true room feel. I had the sectional outdoor couch custom made to fit the corner and then the rest was accessorizing and adding more seating.

This third car addition to an existing house creates a harmonious addition to the existing house. The owner wished to take a two-car two door garage and turn it into a three-car space with two doors. The ultimate goal was to gain much-needed space and to have an addition that looks like it was originally built with the house. I think it achieved the goal!

When a beloved hobby becomes more of a lifestyle, a custom home wine cellar room just makes sense. Steve Kotfis approached Wine Racks America in 2022 to start his custom built wine cellar in Pittsburgh because he not only collects wine, but enjoys making it too. Creating a home, one that spoke to his style and preservation needs, for his beloved collection was the ultimate goal. The challenge Steve and our design team faced with this Pittsburgh wine cellar was the size constraints the room entailed. The desired cellar space was 95” long, 55.5” wide and 95” tall. The hope was to create a functional storage system that could hold a good number of bottles for his ever growing wine collection. After a couple of rounds of revisions, he landed on a beautiful wine cellar featuring display row racks, lattice extenders, high-reveal rack with a diamond cube combo, an arch with a half-height case bin combo, polished off with base, extender and crown molding. Steve chose the base wood material pine finished with our custom WineSafe™water-based cherry stain and Wine-Safe™ satin finish. Not only did the final product come out stunning, he and the team were able to create a storage system with a 540 bottle capacity. Steve’s favorite aspect of his finished Pittsburgh wine cellar product is the design. Having previously worked with our cellar specialists to design his first wine cellar, Steve turned to Wine Racks America a second time to create his custom wine cellar for this unique space. Our goal is not only to bring wine storage dreams to life once but to continue fostering creativity and collaboration on many future wine projects.

Our clients already had a cottage on Torch Lake that they loved to visit. It was a 1960s ranch that worked just fine for their needs. However, the lower level walkout became entirely unusable due to water issues. After purchasing the lot next door, they hired us to design a new cottage. Our first task was to situate the home in the center of the two parcels to maximize the view of the lake while also accommodating a yard area. Our second task was to take particular care to divert any future water issues. We took necessary precautions with design specifications to water proof properly, establish foundation and landscape drain tiles / stones, set the proper elevation of the home per ground water height and direct the water flow around the home from natural grade / drive. Our final task was to make appealing, comfortable, living spaces with future planning at the forefront. An example of this planning is placing a master suite on both the main level and the upper level. The ultimate goal of this home is for it to one day be at least a 3/4 of the year home and designed to be a multi-generational heirloom. - Jacqueline Southby Photography

2012 NARI CAPITAL COTY, MERIT AWARD WINNER, RESIDENTIAL BATH UNDER $30,000 This piano teacher lives in a small townhouse on a beautiful lake in Reston, Virginia. While the home has a lot to offer, the third level master bath has always been a major issue. While small and confined, the design team at Michael Nash Design, Build & Homes felt it had potential. By making better use of its sloped room and finding a bit of added space in an adjacent attic, the new design can truly be called a master bathroom. The homeowner’s wish list included a large shower, a soaking tub and a long vanity with two sinks. With a built-in shower bench, storage niches, and a frameless glass enclosure, the new shower transformed the space. The soaker tub and judicious use of multi-colored tile emphasizes the contemporary flair the design has achieved. The client greatly enjoys her dream bathroom. She has achieved her ultimate goal of large, usable bathroom with lots of amenities.

The goals of this project was to create an open, clean crisp space that is still warm and inviting. Designers used high ceilings and great light warmed with natural wood accents to achieve the clients ultimate goal. The island size stood as a challenge since it was larger than any one slab could adequately cover, but it is the perfect proportion for the kitchen. The challenge was deciding the best placement for the seam of the stone. All this planning resulted in a welcoming kitchen that is also open, clean, and crisp. The individual and contradictory elements blended together perfectly, providing a classic look that can be enjoyed for a lifetime. Designers: Zack and Kristen Stafford Appliances from ADL Appliances

The ultimate goal for this Potomac backyard was to create a lawn for active kids to play on. We focused on building a patio that could be used for grilling and outdoor dining We removed trees, cleared the undergrowth, graded and installed sod to give them a big lawn. We installed a raised patio off the back of the existing screen porch with a walkway connecting to an existing door. We added landscaping around the patio and screen trees along the rear property line. The biggest challenge was creating access points for their sloped lot that was covered in weeds, vines, and scrub trees. We addressed this challenge and created a practical space for the client and their family to use.
