The size of this small kitchen in this Manheim Township home wasn’t a problem for the homeowner but some of the features were inadequate or unnecessary. Storage was lacking and the dishwasher was rarely used by the one person living in the home. We started the new design by replacing the dishwasher with a 24” cabinet. This solution offered more storage but makes it easy for a dishwasher to be added later if necessary.

By removing unneeded ducting above the existing cabinets we could extend a portion of the wall cabinets to the ceiling, making use of every possible inch of storage space. A radiator hidden under the sink cabinet with only small grates to allow the heat to escape ensured a chilly kitchen during winter while an open storage space beside the sink cabinet wasted more room.

We solved both of these issues by using a full-width, shallow-depth sink cabinet with metal grill inserts in the doors: heat can get into the room and more usable storage space! Base cabinets painted in a darker hue than the wall cabinets add drama to the clean lines and soft colors of the room.

Ease of cleaning was top of the list for our client so quartz counters and a subway tile backsplash offer maintenance-free options. Softness and warmth underfoot were important so a vinyl floor gives the look of tile while being easier on feet and legs. The homeowner now has a kitchen that is beautiful, facilitates current use and is adaptable to future needs.

In this kitchen we did a partial remodel – the client wanted to keep his cabinets and appliances but do major updating with the rest of the room.  We replaced the standard laminate counters with quartz and the dated vinyl flooring with tile.  Adding a gorgeous glass back splash with a penny-tile accent strip gave great dimension and texture to the room.  The new tile floor continues into the dining area and back through the hallway.  Sometimes partial changes can make a huge impact!

The clients’ main goal in this remodel was to remove the tub in favor of a large shower, make use of wasted space in the corner of the room and relocate their toilet from the exterior wall to eliminate the freezing pipes they experienced in the past.  We annexed a portion of the master bedroom to maximize the shower space and opened up the corner space in the bathroom to relocate the toilet.  Beautiful French doors invite you into the new room.  Ceramic tile on the walls, shower base and floor blend beautifully with the bead board that we added around the room.

The owner of this laundry room in Lititz wanted to add both usability and aesthetic appeal to the space. The client and most of her guests passed through the laundry room when entering from the frequently used back door. She wanted a room that made her laundry duties easier but was also pleasing to visitors.

We replaced her builder-grade basic cabinets with semi-custom glazed maple cabinets with green accents to match a free-standing piece of furniture in an adjacent room. A farm sink and wall mounted, fold down drying rack added the convenience she desired. A quartz counter top above the washer and dryer gave plenty of room for folding and ironing.

Beadboard around the room, painted the accent color of the cabinetry, completed the appealing renovation that is a joy to walk through and a welcome greeting to her guests.

The kitchen in this home was a nice size but since the homeowners didn’t intend to use it as an eat-in area there was a lot of wasted space. The clients wanted to maximize the storage and workspace while updating the builder grade cabinets.

Relocating some of the appliances improved the flow of the room and created more work zones. Gray stained cherry cabinets, large-scale floor tile and bevel edge subway tile created a timeless, transitional look.

The biggest change came from adding a large center island with seating. To accent the island the cabinets were painted and glazed to create a furniture-like look. An open area at the end of the island makes a great location for pet dishes and food storage.

Glass and stone decorative tile behind the range and to the right of the refrigerator adds gorgeous focal points as well as texture to the room. Additional details like electrical and USB outlets on the ends of the island and an attached towel bar make this kitchen not only beautiful but functional as well.

This homeowner had a very large, seldom used bathroom and too-small second floor closet laundry she wanted to upgrade and reconfigure. Since the bathroom sees little use we were able to annex a large portion of it to enlarge the laundry room, a much more used area of the home.

After reframing the rooms, we incorporated cabinets for storage in the laundry. The bathroom vanity was relocated under the window to highlight the focal point when entering the bathroom. Vanity mirrors on either side of the window provide ample reflection without obstructing the view. Installing the vanity on furniture legs adds a streamlined, transitional feel to the fixture.

While the laundry and bath are separate, the homeowner wanted the rooms to flow together. Using the same flooring in both and the same cabinet style, but in different finishes, achieved a cohesive yet distinct look she can now enjoy while doing the laundry.

This bathroom was dated and filled with builder-grade fixtures.  The client wanted to not only modernize the pieces but use higher quality fixtures and features that would last for years to come.

We replaced the blue fiberglass tub and shower with a large, walk-in tile shower with decorative glass tile.  The tile continues around the room for visual appeal, as well as ease of cleaning, and the glass tile makes a beautiful back splash at the vanity.

Coordinating tile on the floor butts up against the tile in the hallway to create a smooth transition.  Cabinetry in a dark finish and contemporary polished chrome fixtures bring this bathroom to the modern look the client desired.

The homeowner was looking for a more open, usable feel to her bathroom while updating the basic fixtures.  We started by opening up the shower area with a knee wall and full tile to the ceiling.  The tile continued around the room for a seamless, textural look.

Our client wanted to incorporate the colors of off-white, burgundy and black so we incorporated a black accent stripe through the tile and used a quartz vanity top with a cream base and black accents.  The base cabinets were designed in an off-white paint with black glaze while the counter top cabinet and mirrors were done in a black paint to tie the shades together.

The existing tub was replaced and a wainscot panel front and false drawer front on the build-out were added to complement the cabinetry.  Our client was able to achieve the updated, open look she desired with no major changes to the footprint of the room.

In this home the existing kitchen was small, dark, and old.  We removed the wall between the kitchen and dining room so that the new kitchen encompassed both of the old spaces.  The entire layout was modified and updated.  A custom window seat and 10' island with comfortable seating for 4 was added.

We installed furnished and installed custom cabinetry with custom paint colors: light blue/gray perimeter with a darker blue island.  The counter tops are Cambria Potrush White Quartz with dark blue veining.  New flooring encompasses the entire new area and the rest of their first floor.

We had the privilege of remodeling a bathroom in a previous home for these clients.  They were so happy with the outcome that they had us recreate a similar room in their new home.  After creating a very large shower, we tiled the area to the ceiling with custom built-in shelves and seat.

Custom cabinetry included a double bowl vanity, countertop storage cabinet, recessed medicine cabinets, and a dressing table.   We used varying colors of quartz to highlight the countertops, wall caps and seat cap.  Glass tile accents the room as a backsplash to bring all of the rich, vibrant colors together in this new, yet comfortably familiar, room.

Our clients wanted to update their very dated bathroom.  We began by eliminating the yellow fiberglass tub unit and replacing it with a bright white tub and added large format tile up to the ceiling.  Matching tile in a darker shade was used on the floors.  Painted cabinetry added a lightness to the room which was complimented by the granite counters.  Polished chrome fixtures bring this bathroom firmly into the era the homeowners desired.

As is common now, the clients for this project rarely used the built-in tub in their master bathroom and struggled with the small size of their shower.

We started by removing the wall between the tub and shower, maximizing the shower size and using glass panels for the shower surround to create an even larger, more open feel. Light stone wall tile with a dark pebble base create a dramatic, contemporary feel.

Lighter cabinetry was anchored with a dark tile floor that coordinates with the shower floor tile. Beadboard around the room both lightens the palette and keeps the room from becoming too heavy.

The dated built-in tub was replaced by a sleek free-standing tub and LED lighting illuminates the room completely. New French doors between the bedroom and bathroom finish off the airy feel.

While we made no major structural changes, our clients now have a beautiful master bathroom that feels much larger and brighter.

The unused tub and small shower stall in this master bathroom didn’t meet the needs of the homeowners so it was time for a change. We started by removing the tub and using that space for a large walk-in shower with a rainshower and built-in seat. Wood-look porcelain tile on the shower walls gave a rustic but clean-lined warmth to the room.

We added beadboard around the room to continue that theme. Our clients also selected pebble tiles with onyx stones for the shower base and as a decorative accent on the walls to bring in the touch of green they wanted.

Cutting down the wall between the former shower and toilet visually opened up the room and the old shower space now became a perfect area for a make-up table complete with plenty of storage, a large mirror, and plenty of light.

Cabinetry in the other section of the bathroom offered lots of storage space including a countertop cabinet. Quartz counters at the vanities and dressing table, continuing the beadboard around both sections of the bathroom and using the same tile from the shower walls on the floor throughout the shower room and vanity area made both sections, though separated by a pocket door, feel as though they were one large room. This new master bath is now beautiful and functions well for the lifestyle of our clients.

Sometimes rooms function well but the homeowners just want an upgrade.  This was the case for this master bathroom in Millersville.

Without making any changes to the floor plan we replaced the fiberglass shower unit with a custom tile shower, complete with full-width bench and frameless pivot shower door.  The tile accent through the shower continued around the room with 6”x6” tile on the walls.  We tiled the bathroom floor in a larger format for the shower base tile to tie everything together.

Our clients liked their cherry vanity so we simply replaced the hardware, added custom-matched mirrors and a countertop cabinet for additional storage.  To keep the look of the cabinet airier our clients selected a decorative glass door insert.

Semi-recessed sinks are highlighted by the marbling in a new quartz countertop that is carried through on the shower bench and threshold.  By removing the soffit above the vanity we could add decorative lighting to match the faucets and accessories.  This project shows that a beautiful room can come from an existing space!
