Cardinal Remodeling, Inc.

ADDITIONS, DECK/PATIO/PORCH, EXTERIOR, GREAT ROOM/ FAMILY ROOM, LOWER LEVEL, MAIN LEVEL

When this family wanted to add additional space for entertaining, Cardinal was their choice. We worked closely with the owners through the entire design-build process, and they decided on a new two-story addition. The newly finished main-level addition includes vaulted beamed ceilings, beautiful cabinetry, quartz countertops, hardwood floors, Andersen windows, and a sliding door out to their new spacious and maintenance-free deck. A well-designed, coordinated team effort made this a special project for everyone involved.

HOME OFFICE, LOWER LEVEL

This basement finish is an amazing use of space that fits the homeowners’ lifestyle. Their traditional modern style is complete with a wine cellar, wet bar, workout room, and entertainment space. This is a dream lower level for anyone who loves to entertain. The home was also finished with a lower-level bedroom and bathroom and a new main-floor office.

Ispiri, LLC

KITCHEN, MAIN LEVEL

This returning client was thrilled to work with us again to remodel their main floor. We removed the wall between the kitchen and the unused formal dining room to create a much-desired center island and chef’s kitchen. We also increased the size of lake-facing windows to invite more light into the kitchen. Using a mix of painted cabinets, stained island, floating shelves, quartz countertops, high-end appliances, and stunning teal backsplash, we created the perfect space for our client. We installed oak flooring on the main level, transom windows in the sitting room to bring in more light, and a sliding door to close off the space, if desired.

BATHROOM, DECK/PATIO/PORCH, KITCHEN, LOWER LEVEL

The preceding dark, heavy stone fireplace and large wet bar didn’t fit this growing family’s needs. Ispiri transformed the space into a bright, more contemporary ambiance that is also family focused. The newly designed wet bar incorporates Cambria countertops, black metal-framed cabinets, and custom-built wine storage. The beautifully crafted fireplace wall showcases a linear fireplace and natural-stained shiplap. The reconfigured bathroom is more open and accessible from the pool patio, and the stunning outdoor kitchen and phantom screens allow the family to be outside longer on summer evenings. This project will leave you inspired!

VUJOVICH Design Build, Inc.

BATHROOM, EXTERIOR, KITCHEN, MAIN LEVEL, MUDROOM/LAUNDRY

Come visit a modern interpretation of an Arts & Crafts home in the heart of the Summit/University Neighborhood. The family appreciated the home’s character and charm, but longed for more conducive ways to gather in the heart of the home. A small, inefficient kitchen used to be the least favorite room to use. Now, the right-sized addition that houses a chef’s kitchen, a large dining island, and an upholstered bench to gather and socialize while the cook prepares meals on a cobalt blue French range is the best place to be. A beautiful brass hood, creatively hidden mudroom, snack station, and jewel-box powder room are must-see features!

This 1926 Highland Park Tudor has plenty of curb appeal. While this home has had some updates and an addition in the past, the 110 square-foot kitchen was in dire need of updating while maintaining the original flair of this classic home. The plumbing and electrical were completely reworked after exposing years of failing repairs. Custom-enameled cabinets, quartz countertops, new lighting, new Andersen Windows, and custom stone backsplash are just a few of the fresh finishes in this space. The original maple floors were salvaged, pieced in where needed, and refinished. Come see the big things that can happen in any space!
