Transitional To Modern Kitchen Remodel

NARI Madison CotY Residential Kitchen $60K-$100K

Kitchen Remodeling - 2018 NARI Madison CotY Awards

One project that won a 2018 NARI Madison CotY Award is a remodeled kitchen and main level for a home in the Sixmile Creek neighborhood of Waunakee. Bob & Julie’s 1990’s U-shaped peninsula kitchen had many problems. The refrigerator was an antiquated 33” model without space to upgrade, and it opened in the wrong spot. The microwave sat on a countertop, while a cheap, noisy, ineffective vent was above the crowded range. Worst of all, the “dining room” was so underutilized that the clients had a folding chair as part of its furnishings. This home was transformed into a large kitchen with an island, generous prep space around the sink and range, and plenty of seating room. Best of all, it is now connected to a graciously sized semi-formal dining area, and the seldom-used living room is also connected, ready for relaxation or family gatherings.

Three Season Porch Transitional Ranch

NARI Madison CotY Residential Addition Under $100K

Three Season Porch Addition - 2018 NARI Madison CotY Awards

Our second winning project is a three-season sunroom addition in the Terrace Park neighborhood in Windsor. The original deck on the house was too hot in the afternoon and evening and lacked the privacy from adjacent homes that the clients desired. After evaluating screened porches and three or four season rooms, Rick & Stacy decided on a three-season room that would be highly connected to the outdoors but could temper spring and fall chills, thanks to porch windows and a gas fireplace. The porch windows open up or down ¾ of the way so that in beautiful summer weather, they can enjoy the breeze and feel as if they are in a screened porch. But as fall arrives, closing those windows allows the sun to warm the room, and if that’s not enough, the gas fireplace will take the chill out of the room to cuddle up. One of the storm doors even has a doggie door built in, so that Bailey can let herself out to the yard as she needs! Click here to view this three-season porch project.

Front & Back Ranch Home Porch Additions

NARI Madison CotY Residential Exterior (multiple spaces) $100K-$200K

Home Remodeling - 2018 NARI Madison CotY Awards

Our third award winning project is a transformed home near the high school in DeForest. The location of Laura and Todd’s house was exactly where they wanted it, but its faux cape cod style didn’t have the desired curb appeal, and the main living area had no connection to the backyard. We solved this by transforming the home in several ways. A generous front porch, with new garage door and stonework, changes the style of the home to a relaxed country appeal. In the backyard, a deck built over a new three-season porch leads to a patio and firepit with a seating wall for where friends can gather together.

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!
