The 1979 kitchen and living area of this traditional bi-level home was ready for an update. To better utilize the entertaining areas for large groups, the kitchen, dining room, and living room were regarded as one large space with design details carried throughout to create a harmonious, congruent room. The aesthetic goal was contemporary, unique, and warm, with emphasis on function. The clients were fun, sophisticated, and social, and the husband loves to cook!
This unique outdoor structure offers a working garage space and an area for relaxed outside entertaining with seating, cedar soffits and beams, poured cement flooring, and gas service for the barbecue. The deluxe garage has a car lift to allow parking for two cars. Furniture-grade plywood in cedar-tone stain lines the interior walls of the garage space. Classic finishes paired with commercial materials produce an eclectic, fun vibe.
This small 1948 Craftsman home was busting at the seams with a growing family, pets, and every room small enough to keep the family tripping over each other. The remodel turned this tiny closed-in kitchen into an open, central eating/working hub with a 200 square foot kitchen addition into the large backyard. Undoing an existing pantry space turned a dangerous and gloomy stairwell into a welcoming space that now connects the downstairs with the main floor.
Taking time to get it right provided these avid entertainers with the highest quality and a great experience for their kitchen remodel and game room addition, as well as the perfect fit for their lifestyle. A unique color palette, red quartz counters, grey cabinets, lots of light, space, and texture all reflect our homeowners’ bright personalities. The results are spectacular. The benefits of a two-phased, well-planned building process are obvious.
