The big reveal is the kitchen! I have included a couple of before and after photos for comparison.
The kitchen has a brand new white shaker style and soft close cabinets. Marquita Midnight quartz countertop along the perimeter of the kitchen and our famous choice of Calacatta Laza quartz on the island with a double waterfall feature.
The island has enough space for seating and the work side offers ample cabinets and a microwave drawer. The stove is the focal point of this kitchen. The client chose a commercial grade 48" @fisherpaykel cooktop and a 48" @fisherpaykel hood.
To factor in storage, we suggested 12" deep cabinets along the oven wall and a small prep sink with floating shelves for decorative display.

The hidden pantry turned out to be a nice feature in the kitchen.
This is the pantry at the Fairfax Station Reno project.

This is their home office. The real wow factor is the built-ins, an amazing feature to look at but also very functional. The client loved the dark gray speckled throughout the house and wanted it in the built-ins. What an amazing touch!

The primary bathroom was a huge improvement. The bathroom used to be a small closet and a small bathroom. When the addition was built, the bedroom was able to move down to allow space for a proper walk-in closet, a dedicated shoe closet, a coffee station, and the spacious primary bathroom. The added bonus is the view from the new balcony and the wall of windows to allow all the natural light into this new luxurious space. More photos of the primary suite to come.

The Fairfax Station Renovation and Addition project is complete! Here is the finished mudroom.
The client requested a dog shower, a second laundry room, and storage in this mudroom.

The day the homeowners, and we, have been waiting for. The contractors are doing a final clean-up before the professional cleaners come by tomorrow. We are really happy with how this house turned out!

Adding stair lights to the stairs adds a nice detail. The stairs leading to the basement and leading upstairs have these same lights. It adds a touch of elegance.

The kitchen and master bedroom coffee station are getting tiled also. This white picket tile with black grout looks really sharp, wouldn`t you agree? We suggested black Schluter Trim to tie in the black countertop and grout with the white tile. It looks great! ⠀

To light the pantry we placed strip lighting around the door. This will illuminate the shelves along with the whole space. ⠀

What an amazing feature wall in a little girls bedroom. From the top, Roycroft Pewter (SW 2848), Light French Grey (SW 0055), Charming Pink (SW 6309), and Loveable (SW 6590). ⠀

We installed an exterior grade PVC moulding in the master shower so we could seamlessly run it in the master shower. It adds a nice touch to the room. ⠀

This house is getting painted! They chose a light gray for the house and dark gray for the basement recreation room, inside the bookcases, and the pantry cabinets in their kitchen. These colors are beautiful!! ⠀

We designed a hidden pantry to mimic the cold air return on the opposite side of the kitchen. You know us and our love for hidden pantries. 😉 Both the pantry and cold air return are wrapped with shiplap. This trim detail is duplicated on the range hood which we spec`d to match. ⠀

The exterior is being painted! The first step is the Black Fox on the bottom half followed by High Reflective White on the top and the trim. ⠀

Kitchen tile and showing off our great contractors with a great sense of humor.

This massive shower and kitchen tile are being installed. ⠀

The luxury vinyl flooring has been installed and the stair treads have been updated. For the treads, we updated the look by taking the rounded end off the orinigal tread and wrapping it in red oak. This looks really sharp and mimics the thick treads we put in our new construction homes. ⠀

We had spray foam in the vital spaces, the exterior walls. The ceiling portion that has spray foam is the balcony off the master suite. The mudroom ceiling has spray foam to ensure this space stays cozy year-round. ⠀

It is time to help the owners visualize the update to the exterior of the house. The new addition needed siding and the decision was made to replace some of the existing siding. And now is the best time to update the appearance of the exterior. Take a look at the before and the proposed. The top half is high reflective white and the bottom is black fox. ⠀

The basement bedroom is now officially a bedroom! The egress window well has been put in place, the window will be installed soon. The bedroom also has 2 large closets and a private bathroom! There is much more light in the basement now. It was a good idea on the homeowner`s part to add this. ⠀
