This large family room was beautiful before the built in, but looks even better after.
The room had shiplap on the fireplace wall, but over 16 feet of open wall that the TV was situated in front of.
Taking shape! The base cabinet is over 13 feet long! Cabinet carcass is installed, and just waiting for paint.
Only thing left to do was to install the base cabinet doors.
We think the cabinet turned out great. Spray ‘n Coat Painting did a fantastic job on the cabinet base and doors.
This room was home to one piece of laundry equipment. It was a dual purpose washer/dryer. The homeowner has two big dogs that are very active, and very messy! They needed a dog wash.
This was the starting point. The tile floor is in great shape.
The tile was finished and grouted. Then onto the paint!
The drawer fronts were sprayed while the cabinet carcass was rolled and brushed.
This is the finished product- with the cleaning supplies left on top of the washer/dryer even though there is plenty of room to store them in cabinets above, and now below. I was apparently too excited to take the final picture to remember to put these things away…
Garage workbench with rollout tool chests for extra worktop space.
The side of the garage had almost 15 feet of unused space, and no workbench, so this looked like a pretty obvious choice for the spot.
The workbench was pretty easy to frame out, and the rollouts were quick too. The part that took a bit of time was adding the drawers. Each one is an individually built box. Nothing complex about it, but it does take some time!
This workbench and drawers replaced two full height metal tool chests. The drawers have full extension hardware so that all of the space in the drawers can be utilized.
The hardware can support 100 pounds each, so the middle drawers are holding the heavy power tools.
This garage needed more workspace than just that on top of the workbench. The two end workchests pull out for extra worktops.
The pullouts are on heavy duty castors that have locks on all four corners. The result is a super steady workspace.
The two slide outs are the exact same height so that they can be put together for a double width worktop too. This garage workbench with rollout tool chests for extra worktop space really helps complete so many other projects around the house!
This Jack and Jill bathroom needed some updating as it was mostly original from 1959. The homeowners wanted a classic style bathroom remodel. As with all projects, deconstruction had to come first. The bathroom was stripped down to the studs and the ceiling joists. This process was messy, and all of the old plaster and tile had to go out the small window.
One of the requested upgrades was the removal of the outward swinging doors that were taking up too much wall space in each of the adjoining bedrooms.
New pocket doors were installed, followed by new drywall on the ceiling and the walls.
The shower surround has a niche for shampoo and soap, finished with metal tile trim.
The vanity was a pre-built piece that had to be placed before the door trim was put into place. The vanity was trimmed out with wood at the same time that the base and crown moldings were installed. The new pocket doors were put into place, and this bathroom was finished!
The floor was installed with minimum grout lines (laid out without spacers) for the cleanest look possible.
For those of you that want to learn how to cut crown molding with coped corners (I think the best way to do it), check out this video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/3MT9iVtiOEY
This kitchen had last been updated several decades ago, and even then it did not address some of the huge issues that were limiting it’s potential. It was a small, galley style with a drop down ceiling and dated tile.
The homeowners wanted an open concept kitchen and great room, so this kitchen wall that housed the sink and ovens had to go. The sliding door at the far end had to come out too as this was to become the window over the new farmhouse style sink.
The layout was done to maximize the open site lines required for open concept, and also to provide enough storage for a functional kitchen.
The new custom cabinets were built in place. The only thing left was to wait for the cabinet and door fronts to arrive to finish installation.
The range hood was installed and the granite countertops were laid to finish the kitchen.
