Multiple Creative Solutions

Do you need a remodeler or builder who truly listens to your needs? One who has enough experience to offer you multiple creative solutions? These homeowners were looking for someone who would not only listen to their dreams for their home, but offer them options as well. We are so glad that they attended one of our seminars last year and made the decision to call us.

An Outdated Kitchen

These homeowners were ready to turn their outdated kitchen into a chef’s dream. With a peninsula countertop that confused the traffic flow in the kitchen, and soffits that were no longer trendy, our homeowners were ready for a serious transformation to their kitchen, plus some finishing touches to other areas in the main level of their home.

BEFORE

One of the main focuses of this design, was to find a solution for the soffits. Our clients knew immediately that they wanted to install custom ceiling height cabinets, but they wanted a look that offered more visual appeal than just the standard ceiling height cabinets. We worked out some solutions with them, and here is what the finished cabinetry will look like.

Kitchen Demolition

The first step in this process was to remove the existing cabinetry. Since customized cabinets were going to be installed, everything had to go. Next, the soffits were removed to make way for the new ceiling height cabinets, and then patched up in preparation for them to be installed.

Choosing Colors

Once the room has been patched up and ready to go, our designer took some time to paint options on the wall for our clients. Here you can see, we are offering three different paint color options – the goal is to help make some of the decision making process go a bit smoother for the homeowners.

Custom Cabinets

Once the colors have been chosen, and the walls painted, it is time to move in the new cabinetry. The finished kitchen is going to be beautiful!

Installing Floors

The next step in this process is to prep the sub flooring throughout the kitchen, dining room, bathroom, living room; even into the entryway.

The new floors make quite a transformation in the main level of this home.

Wainscoting

Although the custom cabinetry and wood flooring create a beautiful space, one thing that takes the final design over the top is the addition of ivory colored wainscoting as you can see in the dining room below.

This wainscoting will also be added to the entire lower level (kitchen, entryway, and powder room) creating a slight farmhouse feel to the home.

Thank you for your interest in this project. We will continue to keep you up to date on the details as the project comes to completion.

This kitchen remodeling is a NARI Madison CotY Award winning project.

An Above the Garage Master Suite Addition Remodeling Project

We recently completed an addition for our clients, John and Amy, a professional couple with young children living in the Blooming Meadows neighborhood in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin.

Their home featured three bedrooms on the second floor. The existing master bedroom was outdated and impractical for modern living, and with three young children, two needed to share one of the two remaining bedrooms, and all three kids shared the second-floor bathroom. Another problem the family needed addressed was that John needed a private home office, and the one they currently had was a shared space that did not work well for his job.

Let's take a look at our creative solution for this young family!

A New Private Bathroom for the Adults!

One of the major elements on John and Amy's wish list was a private bathroom space just for them. They wanted plenty of space to get ready in the morning, away from the kids, and we delivered! The bathroom features a handcrafted Amish custom double vanity with a tower cabinet in alder wood, stained Carbon Gray. The contrasting Linnstone Quartz Calcutta pattern countertop brightens the space and ties in visually with the elegant tile work in the spacious walk-in shower. We added custom alder wood framed mirrors stained in the same Carbon Gray as the cabinets to complete the vanity. Over each of the mirrors, we installed Quoizel 2 light vanity fixtures to provide plenty of warm light.

In the shower, the 21st Century Tile 12x24 floor-to-ceiling tiles in Tivoli Silver give the room a bright and modern feel, and the low entry shower makes entering the shower safe and easy for the couple. We included a helpful niche in the shower for shampoo and other toiletries and, for contrast, used a beautiful hexagon mosaic accent tile. The glass doors give the space an open feel, making it bright and inviting. The Arbor Hills luxury vinyl plank flooring in timber adds a warm feel, giving the room a natural look with the benefit of waterproof LVP.

The Result

The final result of this second-floor master suite addition is a home that fits John, Amy, and the kid's needs and lifestyle perfectly. John now has the perfect private office space. Since John and Amy now have their private master suite, and each of the kids has their own bedroom giving them their own space to grow as they grow, their home is more comfortable and functional. And on the exterior, you can't even tell there's been an addition!
