Primary Suite -

This entire primary suite got a huge update! The wall separating the laundry room from the closet was removed to expand the space and allow for an island to be added to the closet. The storage in the closet will be custom made by California Closets.

The wet room was reconfigured for a more open feel. The existing tub was replaced by a Bain Ultra air tub including a heated backrest. Behind the tub, a ledge was added for towels and decorations. A floating shelf made of quartz was added just behind the tub for access to a hand shower. The shower includes two shower heads, a rain can, a tiled linear drain and a recessed niche. A second recessed niche was added near the toilet to store toilet paper. The niche and the vanity include motion sensor lighting that comes on when someone enters the room. Above the vanity, backlit mirrors, chandeliers and wall-mounted faucets were installed. The entire bathroom includes custom tile work and heated tile flooring runs throughout the entire suite.

Kitchen -

The kitchen was updated with new Merillat cabinetry, granite countertops and tile backsplash with a decorative design behind the cooktop. The drywall pantry was replaced with a wall oven/microwave combo unit and stacked cabinetry to create pantry storage. The size of the new island was decreased to allow more room in the workspace and eliminate the overhang that was not being utilized. Custom molding work was done above the sink to add a decorative accent to the room.

Laundry Room -

Merillat cabinetry and granite countertops were added to create pantry storage and a coffee bar area.

Primary Bathroom -

This project was a lot of fun to work on and exciting to watch come together! Yorktowne cabinetry with a custom Sherwin-Williams finish and MetroQuartz countertop was used for the vanity. The corner tub was replaced with a freestanding soaker tub. Anatolia Marrakesh tile was used for the accent wall in the shower and extends around the tub. Inside the shower bench is a recessed niche to hide products out of sight and not to take away from the accent tile focal point. LVT flooring was installed throughout the bathroom and walk-in closet.

Bourbon & Wine Bar -

This bar display will include a wine fridge, kegerator, TV and a small sink with a wall mounted faucet. Yorktowne Historic inset cabinetry will be used to create a galley-style bar. The countertops will be made of Silestone quartz featuring a double waterfall on the second tier. The inside area of the countertop overhang and waterfall sides will be lined with three-quarter inch thick black cabinetry paneling to create a second layer following the same profile as the quartz. This design element is repeated on the back wall on the sides of the cabinetry surrounding the TV. Marazzi Urban District tile will be installed on the back wall behind the TV and also on the opposing wall backsplash area. A unique multi-bulb light fixture will hang over the seating area which will feature multiple bar stools for clients to rest if needed. Bourbon, wine and glassware will fill the glass cabinetry to give this display the look and feel of a classy, sophisticated home wet bar.

Kitchen -

The main goal of this remodel is to open up the space and have adequate seating for the client’s family when they entertain. The wall between the living room and kitchen will be removed to allow everyone to be in the same space. A large island will be built so all family members can eat together and so the person cooking can socialize with guests. I gave the clients an optional table and chairs or small island in the bay window to use as their everyday eating space for the two of them. Yorktowne cabinetry and MetroQuartz countertops will be used for this project. The client is still working on choosing a backsplash tile.

Primary Bathroom -

The jetted corner tub that no longer worked was replaced with a large soaker tub big enough for two people to relax in after a hard days work. The wall between the existing tub and shower was removed to create a new zero clearance walk-in shower. Heated tile floors run throughout the entire bathroom. The client requested a low-maintenance material that would be easy to clean as they age in place, so Onyx was used on the shower walls and vanity top. New Merillat cabinetry was used for the vanity and linen cabinet.

Kitchen -

New Merillat cabinetry, MetroQuartz countertops and tile backsplash replaced the outdated kitchen this client previously had. The window above the sink was lowered and the sliding patio door was replaced with a hinged door. A drywall pantry was built in the corner, including a small access door for the client to unload grocery bags into the pantry directly from the garage. The refrigerator was relocated so that the entire right side of the kitchen could be used us a buffet area when hosting events. A small coffee bar was added at the end of the kitchen.

Wet Bar -

This early 2000’s bar was given a makeover for an updated look and better functionality. The client wanted a space to entertain guests with minimal cleanup afterwards. A dishwasher was added to the back wall to wash glassware. The new Yorktowne cabinetry wraps around to bar-height seating for guests to mingle. Floating shelves were used in place of wall cabinets to make the space feel more open since the ceiling is low in that area. The brick columns were removed and the tile flooring was replaced. Silestone quartz countertops, herringbone wall tile and added pendant lighting completed the project.

Primary Bathroom -

This bathroom was updated to a modern, high-end style. Yorktowne cabinetry was used to replace the existing vanity and linen closet. The shower was enlarged and finished with custom tile, quartz, gold plumbing fixtures, a linear floor drain and an added bench. A heated air tub replaced the existing tub for maximum relaxation. The wall was built out next to the tub to center the tub under the window and includes recessed niches for storage and décor. The swinging entry door was replaced with a pocket door to eliminate having to shut the bathroom door to access the linen cabinet.

Kitchen -

This kitchen was updated with Kraftmaid cabinetry, granite countertops and tile backsplash. Additional cabinetry was added to create a small wet bar area and to extend the wall cabinets to the ceiling. The configuration of the island was a selling point when the clients purchased their home, so the new island was recreated using the same overall layout with an updated look. Detailed planning and careful consideration was taken when designing the cabinet layout to ensure both clients could work in the space without being in each other’s way.

Yorktowne cabinetry and MetroQuartz countertops were used to give this kitchen a fresh, new look. The peninsula angle was reconfigured and the wall separating the kitchen from the dining room was removed to open up the space. A “window” was cut into the wall separating the kitchen from the living room so the client could see the TV and interact with guests in the living room while working in the kitchen. The laundry room was reconfigured with a stackable washer and dryer to allow space for an added utility cabinet. LVT flooring replaced the existing linoleum and carpet throughout the entire main living space. Glass subway tile was used for the backsplash in the kitchen. Can lighting was added in the kitchen, dining room and living room along with decorative pendants above the peninsula and sink.

The purpose of this remodel was to eliminate the bathtub and creating a large walk in shower. The shower was finished with custom tile, quartz, brushed nickel plumbing fixtures and includes a wall of stacked recessed niches. The hall closet was removed and the toilet was relocated to the existing shower space for more privacy. The linen closet was removed to allow the vanity to be lengthened, and a linen cabinet was added between the toilet and shower so that no storage would be lost. New vanity lights and can lighting were added to the room. New heated tile flooring laid in a herringbone pattern replaced the existing tile flooring.

New Yorktowne cabinetry, Silestone quartz countertops and glass backsplash tile will be installed in the kitchen. The flooring throughout the main living area will be replaced with LVT for an updated look and to better handle the wear and tear from the client’s pets. The existing door to the laundry room will be replaced with a pocket door to eliminate the door being in the way of the laundry room storage. The lighting is being updated in the kitchen, living room and foyer. This will consist of demoing the track lights, ceiling fan and chandeliers, then adding multiple canless recessed lights, LED under cabinet lighting and decorative pendants above the island.

This bathroom was updated with Merillat cabinetry, MetroQuartz countertop, hexagon floor tile and a new custom shower that includes a full width recessed niche, a recessed foot ledge and custom bypass shower doors.
