left: Renovation construction has many problematic decisions and many rewards. It is important to understand construction methods used to build the project being renovated. Sometimes it is easier to just start with a blank canvas, but whenever possible it is good to use green building standards and try to save architectural features in order to retain the character of the project you and your designer are undertaking.
right: The vision for this old world kitchen became inspiration through the exposed brick, multi-colored, layered and gelled cabinetry, the massive black columns and the deeply hued paint colors that evoke whispers of years gone by and family gatherings. What used to be a kitchen, breakfast room, servants' entrance and main hallway have now become one room making the new kitchen more useful for today's living, yet still giving honor to time and tradition through designer elements.
left: This bedroom ceiling was raised almost to the roof gable, giving more head space. The adjacent sitting room, a former attic, was seldom used due to its awkward access.
right: Three colors were used to pop this bedroom into dimension and highlight its characteristics.
left: By contrast, this drab 70's brick darkened and dirtied the room.
right: The newly designed wall and hearth above prompt all the design to salute modern day-to-day living.
left: This awkward space lacks flow and purpose. The back office, a dead-end zone to nowhere.
right: This new, brighter space is opened, proportioned and the new office area has now become an essential part of the expansive living room.
left: Once a blank wall, it was devoid of use.
right: Columns were constructed as an architectural interest as well as defining the living spaces, along with brighter paint colors, giving playful backdrops for furniture and accessories to react to.
left: This dark, light deficient kitchen had an unpleasant design and traffic flow. It felt cluttered and heavy.
right: By removing all of the back room walls, adding larger windows over the sink and using dark and light woods to play off each other, we redesigned this kitchen improving the traffic flow, work space and brought in more natural light from the spacious back yard.
left: Once a parlor off to itself, an area forgotten and isolated.
right: It has new life as part of the entertaining area and can be used to directly access the living space, making the new layout feel bigger and brighter.
