2013 NARI CAPITAL COTY, GRAND AWARD WINNER, RESIDENTIAL KTICHEN $80,001 -$120,000 This Old Town Alexandria home was ready for a major kitchen renovation. After 20 years of putting up with the dark, short cabinets and a dysfunctional traffic pattern and layout, the owners were ready to roll up their sleeves and throw this kitchen out the window. Design challenges include a peninsula that was too big for the space, appliance locations that were all over, a stackable washer and dryer in the middle of the kitchen and a lack of storage. The first step toward a remodeling solution was to move the washer and dryer to a new lower level laundry area. That created space for a new built-in refrigerator, microwave/oven cabinet, pantry and angular end cabinets. This move also created more room on the walls of kitchen for added cabinetry and countertops. The cook top was moved to one of the walls with a custom wood hood over it. Having removed the old bulkheads, there was space for taller cabinets and some glass front cabinetry (with inside lights) to display china. Large crown molding, along with big arched valances, legs and corbels made this brushed stoke custom cabinetry really stand out. A big knee wall and a middle post made the breakfast room too closed in and separated from adjacent family room. By installing a couple of structural beams, the space was opened up and dressed up with a large arch opening to replicate the front hall columns. Similarly, the front door separating the front hall to the kitchen was taken off, widened and then had the same panel arch treatment done. Now all the doorways in the home have a very classy, yet sophisticated detailed molding. A previously wasted corner area is now home to a custom hutch cabinet. The middle island, not only improved the traffic flow, but also dressed up this kitchen with its furniture look. The expansion of hardwood flooring, from the front hall into the kitchen and beyond, created a seamless transition to the entire first floor. Use of this highly custom brushed stroke glazed cabinetry in a soft vanilla tone complemented the uniqueness of a slab of granite. The light color tumbled marble backsplash made the glazing of this cabinetry stand out. The transformation of this kitchen was so incredible that no one believes the before photos.

This cornice is in the master bedroom. We used the same fabric as in the master bathroom so the two rooms flowed together. we also used a "keystone" accent fabric on the cornice so we didn't have to railroad the fabric to hide the seams. We also used the accent fabric as the "peek-a-boo" fabric on the master bathroom valances. This kept everything coordinating and still allowed us to incorporate an accent fabric element on the cornice. The draperies are non-functioning. We used a three finger pinch pleat on the draperies so they would remain full and not look skimpy. Stop in our showroom or schedule a free in-home consultation. We work with clients in the Central Indiana Area. Contact us today to get started on your project. 317-273-8343

This type of window treatment ideas is called a shading and come in many different window covering styles. These custom window shades may look like a cellular shade / honeycomb blind, but it does not work like one. Each vane / louver is made of hard or soft shade fabric and opens and closes similar to a aluminum or wood slat blind - EXCEPT that between each vane or slat is a layer of sheer fabric. Window shades of this type are used all over the home as decorating ideas coordinated with paint colors, flooring and furniture. Colors, patterns, textures are endless and these can be motorized, are room darkening / light filtering shades. This example is a Hunter Douglas Nantucket Shading - it is a horizontal blind. You can get the same style shading in a vertical blind for french doors or sliding glass doors for your contemporary living room. Arch window shades available. Windows Dressed Up in Denver is also is your store for custom curtains, drapes, valances, custom roman shades, valances and cornices. We also make custom bedding - comforters, duvet covers, throw pillows, bolsters and upholstered headboards. Custom curtain rods & drapery hardware too. Hunter Douglas, Graber and Lafayette.

This home office was a complete overhaul that included new flooring, space planning and custom furniture to fit in this small room. Our client is hard working and wanted a space that inspired her to want to be productive. She enjoys this room now. We custom designed the bookcases to house a pull out printer and lots of storage.

woven wood shades For this project we were hired to help with window treatments for multiple rooms with different options. We helped design each room specifically for the functional and aesthetic needs. We did Woven wood shades in the family and kitchen area without a lining since privacy was not a concern. For the master bedroom, we did shutters with a split tilt feature for added privacy and light control. For the bathroom we did a fun patterned roman shade option with the larger window with the top down feature to give added light and maintaining privacy. We also did custom fabric valances in the guest room.
