A beautiful home in Providence Springs was transformed when we took a two story great room and created two rooms: a cozy family room on the first floor and a bonus playroom on the second floor. While we were creating the new spaces, we also renovated a kitchen, mudroom, and laundry room. The dramatic changes […]
Are you drinking the pumpkin spice lattes yet and hoping that cooler weather is right around the corner? Autumn is coming and now is a great time to make a list of those things that should be done before winter arrives (yep, it’s coming too.) 1. Stock up on supplies. For our friends and family […]
This bathroom, off of a teen’s bedroom, gets a much needed makeover. The changes made are refreshing and offer better use of the space. The sleek design did not always look this way. Dated tile and a painted shower enclosure was the prior welcome into the room. The enclosure was dark and confined, but has […]

This wet bar remodel was in the same house that we highlighted in our last post. We took a closeted bar in the adjoining family room, opened it up and gave it a fresh look. Removing the doors and mirrors, changing out the cabinetry and adding sturdy wooden shelves created an inviting social space. Polarstone […]
