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.

For the third project at this Customers home we were to transform the Master Suite, as well as re do 2 other bath room. The existing bath had a distinctive 80’s design, with a giant soaking tub that was rarely used. The floor plan was completely rearranged, new windows installed, including the new side window with a perfectly framed view of Mt. Rainer. The finished project rivals professional spas. Yet Aging in Place design was used unobtrusively throughout. Features include: tile pattern selected for non skid, no shower threshold, grab bars that don’t look like grab bars, built in lighting at the mirror, and a washer let toilet set. The bedroom featured new tile at the fireplace a built in TV, new carpet, and paint colors.

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.
