It was such a treat working for the owners of this West Spartanburg home. We took a kitchen that had you boxed in and opened up the flow. Now it’s got a better layout, a better configuration and well thought out organization. We were also able to take a, formerly, overlooked corner of the room and give it an identity, the Hospitality Bar. This corner quickly turned into the crown jewel of the entire project. While the range, sink and refrigerator couldn’t move we were still able to substantially improve the function and esthetic of this space. Thank you for allowing me to design and remodel your kitchen!

WORK WITH WHAT YOU’VE GOT! That was my philosophy behind this 1964 ranch redesign. By the time I owned this home, like a lot of older homes, previous owners had already enclosed the carport for more living space. While the extra space was nice it lacked function - it didn’t have an identity and this made it more awkward than awesome. The kitchen was closed off from the rest of the house and an oversized hallway needed to be put to better use. Lacking closet space and many of the features that homeowners today demand lets take a look at the before and after floor plan for the creative solutions incorporated into this project and the satisfying photos that showcase the transformation.

Remember, if you’re embarking on a home improvement project my tip would be work up a master plan. This is where you evaluate the immediate home improvement in the context of the whole house and future improvements. In my opinion this will yield a more well thought out and functional home in the end.

3D Renderings are simply remarkable!! Take a look at this side-by-side comparison of this clients home as-built v. as designed/rendered (pretty spot-on in my opinion). Selections can be difficult and no one wants to be dissatisfied with their choices but trying to imagine everything together can be really hard for a lot of people. Renderings bridge the gap. They are a way to see the finished product beforehand so costly change orders can be avoided.

[ Design Project ] This wonderful couple has been dreaming of this addition for years and knew all the things they wanted out of the space but ... how do you put all that together? With their wish-list of features we pulled together a plan that made both of them happy. During this process the client wanted to see what the bar area would look like with different material and color combinations. Such a powerful visualization tool ~ with the side-by-side you can see how much color and texture change the way a space feels.

[ Design Project ] This is outside the scope of what I normally do but I knew I could help this client (and so I did). This is a new construction build on the lake where the client came to me with a plan that was about 70% what they wanted but in the areas that really count the plan was lacking and in need of a bit of work. The client and I collaborated to redesign these areas and in the process added some dormers and a screen porch. Another struggle the clients had was trying to figure out what materials to use on the exterior. Through rendered images I was able to show them material and color combinations to help them feel confident in their selections.
