DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS

WHITE, NAVY AND IT’S ALL GRAVY

Jeremy came with solid design ideas that he knew his mom would love: navy cabinets on the bottom, white cabinets on top, and a white and gray stone running throughout the counter and right up the backsplash. Antique brass fixtures pop through as accents without requiring too much upkeep, while the oversized hood creates a visual feature without becoming overwhelming.

NEW FIREPLACE, OLD-WORLD FEEL

We installed a low-profile, glass fireplace from the Netherlands in the living room to put off plenty of heat, but we kept a very traditional look with beautiful angles and a plaster finish. Modern energy efficiency with a timeless aesthetic: that’s a formula for maximum relaxation.

WONDROUS WALLS

With the extra room off the kitchen, we created a new bedroom to encourage more visits from the grandkids—but we wanted to keep the sophisticated feel of the rest of the house. Custom moulding near the headboard was an easy way to add warmth and style to the room, so that it feels welcoming and comfortable for any guest.

Rebel Wilson’s Surprise Outdoor Oasis

Megan Stein — Mon, 11 May 2020 20:30:38 +0000

Rebel Wilson’s newly married hairstylist and best friend Nicole spent all of her savings to buy a home, leaving the couple with barely any money to renovate their backyard. Rebel worked with us to turn her barren space into an outdoor oasis.

DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS

SPACE FOR SEATING AND GREETING

Nicole and her husband Josh both have big families, so seating was a must for family meals. With this massive grill and prep area, they won’t have to worry about running out of room while feeding everyone, and the combined dining and seating areas will give everyone a place to hang out and eat.

POOL TETRIS

Rebel was pretty insistent on installing a pool, which we thought was going to be a tight fit in Nicole’s backyard. Turns out we were wrong—well, sort of. All we had to do was lift a 6,500-pound prefabricated swimming pool over Nicole’s house and slide it into place between power lines and gutters. No big deal!

PUT AWAY THE MOWER

We brought in new sod for Nicole’s front yard to give her a lovely entrance, but we didn’t want her mowing small strips of grass between features in her backyard oasis. Instead, we installed synthetic grass, which looks just as great and requires none of the maintenance. Just one less worry for Nicole as she lets her concerns melt away in the pool.

Before & After

DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS

SLATS THE WAY I LIKE IT

At first, we had planned to keep the layout completely open, with glass railing on all sides of the stairs and a furniture piece to break it up. The more we thought about it, we figured Minette would want some sort of privacy between her dining room and the rest of the house. Enter the slat wall: stylish and functional, while maintaining open sight lines. What was a quandary became a feature.

MAKING ROOM FOR FIRESIDE CHATS

Michael’s grandparents had made the front room into an ornate parlor, but we needed a space Minette could enjoy comfortably. We installed two gas fireplace inserts—one in the parlor and the other in the family room—to modernize the spaces and provide Minette with a warm, inviting home.

WINDOWS TO THE WORLD

Michael remembered all the great times in the family room, which had tons of natural light, but needed updates to make the space more functional. We replaced the mountain-side windows with more energy-efficient versions to keep Minette cozy in front of those gorgeous views.

Before & After

DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS

A ROOM OF ONE’S OWN

We snuck in a home office for Michelle to give her a space all to herself. Her husband was in on it, filling the room with memories: pictures of her family, her old playbill, even a record player so she could sit and listen to old favorites. We have no doubt this quickly will become Michelle’s favorite room.

KITCHEN CONFIDENCE

Michelle’s previous kitchen was pretty dated, so we opened up the shelving, hid the fridge behind custom cabinetry and provided this peninsula so she could hang out with loved ones. Michelle got so excited about us sitting around the peninsula that she promised to cook us her “specialty” … which she had not quite figured out yet! (Don’t worry, Michelle, we’re happy to come back for free food.)

DINING LIGHT

Michelle’s dining space was a little small, which we quickly remedied by knocking out the wall separating the room from the kitchen. To make the space feel even bigger and more welcoming, we cut out large windows to let in plenty of natural light. And even though lots of light is coming in, we installed double-paned windows so that heat won’t go out on those cold Minnesota nights.

Before & After

Melissa and her cousin Jenna pulled it off—Connie and Jim had no idea what was happening, to the point they couldn’t believe it was really their house!

DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS

A MAN CAVE FOR A HERO

After Jim was injured on the job, he spent most of his recovery time downstairs in the den in his favorite chair, watching his favorite Chicago sports teams. We weren’t going to try to convince him to give up his allegiance to Da Bears, but we did have to get him a new chair. And you know what they say, if you give a man a new chair … you might as well give him a new man cave. We totally redid the downstairs space so Jim could sit in his new chair, watching his new TV, listening to his new record player play his old favorites with his all-time favorite girl, Connie. (Because some things shouldn’t change.)

CONNIE’S NEW KITCHEN KINGDOM

Connie and Jim liked to hang out together in the upstairs kitchen and living room, but the rooms were divided by an unsightly wall, which closed Connie off during family gatherings. We did what we do best: we took down the wall, opened the space and gave her a massive kitchen island full of storage and—best of all—seating, so Connie’s always part of the conversation.

CHASING THE CLOUDS AWAY

Connie and Jim’s house had great opportunities for clear sight lines and natural lighting—we just had to let the light in. By clearing out those dividing walls, the light from the big, beautiful windows was able to reach the whole space, making even an overcast day feel light and refreshing.

Before & After

DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS

A MURPHY BED FOR THE AGES

In order to make this a true income property, we had to get a full bed and bathroom in the space. Drew had an idea from his own recent home renovation: a Murphy bed that worked seamlessly with the accompanying sofa. This bed was so smooth that you didn’t have to remove anything from the shelf during conversion. Some hideaway storage for pillows and linens completed the transformation from casual living room to relaxing bedroom.

MIRROR, MIRROR … IN THE PENINSULA?

Despite her decades of work as a makeup artist to the stars, Jean often worked at her kitchen table in her house. We figured we could elevate the design in her new workspace—literally, by installing a hidden makeup mirror in the kitchen peninsula counter that appeared with the press of a button. We included drawer inserts to hold some of her tools, but there was no way we could fit all of her equipment into the new space.
Or was there?

IF THESE WALLS COULD TALK

Voila! As if the Murphy bed weren’t enough storage magic, we hid a massive storage closet for Jean’s equipment behind a custom shelf. We included an old photo of Jean’s beloved parents to add a personal touch that only she would know about. Now, Jean can invite clients into her new space, then put the work away to enjoy her new patio as the sun sets.
