LEAPS AND BOUNDS (and cabinets)…

WOW! I have been away from the blog for a bit…but work has continued on the custom home in Andersonville despite my absence! Since last I updated we have worked on electrical systems, HVAC systems, installed tile, installed hardwood floors and added trim throughout the house. But the biggest change of all is the CABINETS!

Custom built cabinets that are stunning are really help the space take shape. And it is a BIG space (who knew?)

Also in this kitchen – a custom built in banquette in the eat-in kitchen. The banquette was built onsite. The coffered ceiling is the adjacent family room? Yep, conceived and completed onsite.

Neither was included in the original plans. This my friends is the value of a talented groups of contractors working WITH you.

I will be posting several times this week because there is just so much going on. Next up, paint colors!

Custom built-ins
Large scale home renovations and remodeling are a great opportunity to incorporate custom home design touches. Like this built-in banquette in what used to be an enclosed back porch.
Ceiling detail
When looking for home design ideas – don’t forget the ceilings! Crown molding and coffered ceilings add dramatic detail to home renovations or new home construction.
The organized mess
It looks like chaos but quality home design involves taking things apart before putting them back together. A true quality home renovation professional, makes all the mess worth it!

New Homes In Chicago : we’ve got studs

The first step in building a new custom home in Chicago from an existing 2-flat – remove all the existing interior. And we mean everything: walls, ceilings, floors, windows, bathtubs, toilets, kitchen sinks and countertops. Everything must go.

Then you have a clean slate.

To put it all back together.

So here we are now – putting it all back together. We have new floors! With no holes! How about that for progress.

We also have whole new rooms and floor configrurations – 4 bedrooms and 2 baths upstairs, a big kitchen, family room, buters pantry and living room on the first floor. Oh, and a room just for the baby grand piano. And yes, I am serious. How cool is that?

This one is shaping up to be a spectaulr new custom home in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood.

Next up…windows!
