About This Project
Welcome to Blueprints to Brilliance, the perfect example of what magic happens when homeowners bring their style and vision to our specialists who perform with precision. This remodel involved transforming many areas of the home — updated flooring throughout the main level, fully redesigned 2 bathrooms and the bottom run of stairs, statement chandeliers in several rooms, new tile in the kitchen and laundry room, and replacing interior doors.
The homeowners saw a way to redesign the primary bathroom layout for a luxious soaker tub and oversized shower stall, as well as a double vanity. We also converted a library into a dreamy primary closet/dressing room. It’s amazing how new decorative fixtures (vanity, flooring, tile accent wall, pendant lights, & paint) transformed the powder room into a dramatic moment. Unified engineered hardwood flooring throughout the main level ties all the areas together. With luxury materials, thoughtful layouts, and expert craftsmanship, we created a modern yet timeless home that’s both highly functional and beautiful. From demolition to redesign, we documented every step as we turned blueprints into brilliance.
