Dahl Field Major Remodel

Dahl Field Major Remodel

The Customer wanted to stay in their neighborhood but needed a major remodel. The existing home had very low ceilings and a poor floor plan. Customer’s father designed the plans, but since he is in Texas, Lakeview Design & Construction put the permit plans together and obtained the permit. The house was gutted to framing, and all plumbing , electrical, and heating systems were removed. A second floor was added over the rear while the front of the house featured raised sloping ceilings. Reclaimed pine floors, shiplap detailing, hand painted tiles, and vibrant colors create a completely new look.

Volunteer Park Bathroom Revamp

The existing master bath was showing its age in terms of style and layout - the combination bath & laundry was not working for the kids. Note - the before photo with the tub was full of clothes! Both rooms were demoed to the studs for a fresh, new floorplan. The new layout featured a separate laundry accessed from the common hall and a new sleek kid’s bathroom where function meets fun. The master bath is a true luxury spa; heated floors, custom wood cabinets, a soaking tub adjacent to a walk-in shower. The tile work is exceptional as well as the dimmable lighting in both bathrooms. The Customer also mentioned that with toilet paper shortages, the bidet style toilet was a great added bonus! Having these new bathrooms has made working from home during this time an easier transition and more functional for the family as a whole.

Ballard Vintage Home, New Baths

The Customer wanted to claim some useable space from their 1910 Ballard farmhouse. The upper floor was essentially an unfinished attic. We created an office with a view, a guest bedroom, and a cozy bathroom tucked in under the eaves. Refinished original flooring, handpainted tiles, great color choices help the new spaces feel like they belong.

Ballard Skinny House Kitchen

This kitchen remodel had limited space to work with and no way to expand the exterior. A few small walls were removed which really opened up the kitchen layout. New bright white cabinets, white quartz cabinets, white subway tile splash gave the brightness and feeling of a much larger space with no new windows or any addition. Two bathrooms were also updated.

Inverness Kitchen Remodel

The customers wanted to transform the interior of their mid century modern home to reflect a more French Tuscany style. The whole space was cleared out, kitchen torn out, flooring removed, walls moved, and the fireplace facing removed. The results are stunning, including the cabinets, fireplaces, large slate tiles that extend out onto the deck. And the new deck rail!
