Transforming a Builder-Grade Home into a Masterpiece Custom Home
The Vision
When these homeowners first approached Meadowlark Design+Build, it was clear they loved where they lived but were falling out of love with the house they lived in. Nestled in a community within walking distance of their children’s school with close-knit neighbors nearby, the idea of moving was off the table. Instead, they wanted to transform their builder-grade home into a masterpiece custom home to reflect their unique tastes and growing needs.
Our most recent project in 2023 was a primary suite bathroom renovation. While we were onsite, we extended the project to also replace the original, drafty, and inefficient living room windows and repaired some ceiling damage in that room.
Each project offered a unique opportunity for our team to take this family’s home to the next level. From the initial kitchen upgrade to the recent primary suite and living room renovations, we witnessed their home evolve into a space that not only meets their practical needs but also resonates with their style and personality. Let’s dive in!
The Results
After multiple phases and lots of top-tier work, the homeowners were delighted with the transformation of their home. Meadowlark Design+Build completed three major renovation projects, each carefully planned and executed to maintain the home's fresh, functional, and timeless appeal.
Kitchen, Laundry Room, and Basement: A new front door and windows gave the exterior a fresh look, while the dark-stained floors and remodeled fireplace added a touch of elegance to the main level. The improved trim and details, along with the reconfigured basement, created a more cohesive and functional living space.
Primary Bathroom and Closet: The reconfigured bathroom now boasts a spacious shower, a more practical vanity, and a built-in linen closet, making the space more efficient and aesthetically pleasing. The customized closet solutions provided ample storage and organization, perfectly meeting the homeowners' needs.
Family Bathroom: Removing the tall wall between the vanity and toilet opened up the space, allowing natural light to flow through. The upgraded storage in the vanity and modern fixtures and finishes completed the look, ensuring the bathroom matched the rest of the home's high standards.
These renovations fulfilled the homeowners' aesthetic and functional desires and significantly enhanced the value and enjoyment of their property. The whole family is thrilled with their beautifully transformed home and looks forward to enjoying their custom masterpiece for many years.
Project Goals
Meadowlark Design+Build worked closely with the family to outline specific goals for each renovation phase. The first project focused on updating the kitchen, laundry room, and basement to function better and be more aesthetically pleasing. The second project reconfigured the primary bathroom and closet to serve the homeowners' needs better. The third project upgraded the family bathroom to feel more open and modern. Each phase was meticulously planned and executed, ensuring minimal disruption and maximum satisfaction.
Project Challenges
The homeowners envisioned a residence with a fresh and timeless appeal, blending modern functionality with classic aesthetics. They desired a home that would cater to their present lifestyle and remain relevant and stylish for years to come. However, their existing home fell short in several key areas:
- The kitchen, laundry room, and basement needed better functionality and aesthetics.
- The primary bathroom and accompanying closet lacked efficiency and storage for the homeowners’ needs.
- The family bathroom felt cramped and outdated.
