Real Stories, Real Results
From Downtown to the Suburbs: The Harris Story
We worked with our clients to find their next home in Clarendon Hills, Illinois. Once we identified a property that suited most of their needs, our team went to work transforming it into a home that met all their expectations.
We began by remodeling the kitchen, adding a stunning waterfall countertop to the island for a modern touch. The fireplace was updated with stacked stone and complemented by floating wood shelves, creating a cozy yet stylish focal point. A new wet bar and a mudroom with locker cabinets and a bench seat enhanced both functionality and design.
The staircase received a contemporary makeover by replacing the newell posts, spindles, and handrails to create a more modern aesthetic. Lastly, the master bathroom was completely remodeled, delivering a luxurious retreat for the Harris family.
The result was a home that perfectly balanced their needs, style, and budget, showcasing how real estate and renovation can work hand in hand to create something truly extraordinary. See the full project here.
Relocation and Transformation: The Crest’s Experience
Our out-of-state clients, were relocating back to the area and searching for their new home in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. This home had the most potential for remodel, with good bones and an excellent location. Once we closed on the home, we got to work making it the home of their dreams.
We devised a plan to make the kitchen more functional and current with today’s trends, all while utilizing existing cabinetry. We designed a new kitchen layout by relocating the fridge, creating a pantry cabinet, and removing a wall that separated the kitchen from the family room. This resulted in a peninsula for seating and a more open layout for entertaining.
Some of the finishing touches included shiplap on the fireplace surround, Taj Mahal Quartzite countertops, and shaker-style doors and drawer fronts. The Crest home now reflects their lifestyle and personal aesthetic, showcasing the perfect blend of real estate and renovation. See the full project here.
