This house was lived in by a single man for many years. And at the time we purchased it, it was ripe for a re-do. Not too far along, but definitely in need of some help. So we went to work papering the hardwood floors, pulling off the 3 layers of wallpaper off and removing the 12’ square ceiling tiles…which none of us…to this day…can figure out why they were ever installed. But we knew she was a beauty in the rough. One large room off the master became a sitting room/nursery and a master bath. But other than that, all other rooms remained the same. Hope you’re inspired by the photos

My all time favorite, Bungalows! And this one is no exception. On a side-note, I must add that I have found that the homeowners who live in these bungalows are quite special as well. Just like their homes, they like simple lines, natural light, quality craftsmanship and cozy decor. The homeowner’s here just knew that it was time. Their poor outdated, DIY bathroom was restored by the previous homeowner back in the 80’s. Mirrored closet walls, low ceilings, a closed in shower with no light and home depot vanity and tile basically made up the original bath. But oh, look at the change now. This bathroom and adjoining bedroom now have a new leaf on life. Fresh grey tones and crisp white trim adorn the walls. Modern mirrors and shiny substrates such as the shower tile, flooring marble and vanity countertop allow for natural reflections. But the “pièce de résistance” is the custom wainscoting that we created onsite that gently cradles the dual mirrors and allows the homeowner to display artwork on the ledge at a future date. Hope you can find some inspiration here as well.

This kitchen has helped to raise a family of 5 over the past 30 years and the homeowner’s just new that it was time for a facelift. They just simply did not know where to start. After meeting with CenterBeam and our kitchen designer’s, a plan was formed to remove one center wall separating the kitchen from the living room and to open up the dining room space by replacing the doorway with a wide 7’ opening from floor to ceiling. What happened after it was all done, was just magical. Not the husband and wife duo open their home to church gatherings, family celebrations and simply love to walk through their front door with a smile on their face! Look below to see the changes. We hope you enjoy.

Kitchens are our favorite and for good reason too. They’re the simplest and easiest way to increase the value of your home and enjoy the return on your investment while still living there. The design should reflect how you live and what you include will depend on what is most important to you. Ultimately, it should reflect your style.

It’s wonderful when homeowner’s have a plan and this homeowner knew exactly what she wanted. The idea was to seamlessly incorporate a 3rd bedroom, hallway, master bath and laundry room to the already existing 2 bathroom 1920’s bungalow in historic Avondale in Jacksonville, Florida. Conventional framing in the addition allowed for a small vaulted ceiling in the bedroom. Large 13″ baseboards were continued throughout, windows with exterior muntins to match the ones in the original portion of the house were installed as well as 1/2 wall wainscoting and cased openings that help to tie the old with the new.

Throw traditional right out the door and welcome in contemporary with a great big hug. This bathroom has it all. Frosted glass front linen closet doors, petit knobs, and clean line fixtures set the stage. But the real hero are the chosen wall colors, lighting and specialty tile installed. This hall bathroom seamlessly flows with the art flooded hallway leading up to it’s entrance. And offers a pop of elegance as soon as you enter.

From old to new, this kitchen was created with a full functioning family in mind. This complete remodel totally opened up the existing 1923 portion of the bungalow to the new 650 square foot addition portion which leads to a comfy den, master bedroom, master bath and screened porch. Kitchen includes durable concrete tiles, quartz countertops, a spacious island and off color green cabinets with deep drawers everywhere, a custom walk in pantry, task lighting galore and a fun vibe overall. If you like this kitchen, just think…What kind of kitchen do you want?

So this project started in a not so typical way. The homeowner had hired a contractor and then had to fire him after 6 months passed by with minimal work to show for it. Then Centerbeam came in on a white horse in a white cape (well, not really, but you know where this is going). The complete addition was about 200 square feet of heated and cooled area and the other 200 as an open porch area. Marble, white subway and glass tiles were used throughout to create a more relaxed beachy feel. And the all-glass shower surround is just a jaw dropper. The reuse of an original old glass door (just restored and painted) as a barn door on a track continues the brushed nickel look all the way to the exit door. A great touch to tie the room together

This project was less dusty and entailed no construction. The only thing we were hired to do was design consultation.  The Homeowner was in the perfect small town area and decided to transform this dated studio garage to an all desired short term Airbnb rental. Full of everything a guest would need plus more! Two weeks later, the first guest arrived and it’s been full ever since!

Wow! What a transformation. This kitchen is now able to host large groups of friends and families, social gatherings and holidays. The glossy countertops just exude richness with special attention being given to the lighting. Notice the real hard wood flooring and furniture helps to keep a coziness throughout the room. This is especially important since it’s adjacent to the den…where everyone spends their time.  Click on the photos to see more and hopefully take away some ideas for your kitchen.

This lovely 1925 cedar shingled bungalow was simply in need of more space. This lovely family of three have lived in this home, as-is, for 10+ years and knew that it was time for a makeover. Not only that, but they were wanting to add many of the modern conveniences and styles that this bungalow was just lacking. The addition calls for one of the three bedrooms to be turned into a beautiful master bathroom and larger laundry space. We will also be opening up the dining room to the kitchen by removing a wall and adding all new cabinetry, an island and breakfast peninsula. But the sweet spot is in the addition as the homeowners of this bungalow wanted to open the home up to their beautiful back ground by adding a fully screened porch. Both the kitchen and the master bedroom have custom slider doors that open to this relaxing porch…perfect for reading and enjoying the first cup of morning coffee.

This little 910 square foot doll baby of a house needed a facelift and some extra room in order to satisfy any modern family that wanted to move in. But once we tied in the roof and started the addition, we quickly became aware that an entire new roof + house paint + A/c system + Insulation…all needed to be done in order for it to work. So, off with the old self, and on with the addition…both creating a wonderful makeover that left all the neighbors raving about!
