Modernist Mother-in-Law's Apartment, My home was built in 1950 and included a detached carport with a large two-room workshop. In January of this year, I embarked on a project to build a completely self-contained apartment for myself on the existing slab of the carport/workshop and invited my daughter, son-in-law and two grandsons to move into the main house. The new apartment was immediately dubbed "The Modernist Nest" by a fellow blogger.

It took three months to complete the construction and a couple more months to landscape, but I'm finally in and enjoying my new 676 sf nest-space very much., Other Spaces Design
Floor to Ceiling Transformation, Originally, a G-shaped kitchen that basically divided my kitchen in half & only used 1/2 the space. I have totally gutted it, designed a new layout that would utilize the entire space. Created a lot more storage, along with more convenient functions, like pull out drawers, single basin sink & taller faucet. New floor, more lighting that I installed myself. I had a very small budget but I feel I got a "Bang For Your Bucks". And even though I've designed every inch of it and had a pretty good idea of how everything would look, the finished project actually turned out much more beautiful than I ever imagined. This has been a very rewarding experience.

Manageable makeover, A few years ago, my wife and I moved into our dream home in a dream neighborhood.  Everything was great except the kitchen, which we thought was serviceable until we realized that the cabinets were turning to particle board dust and the drop ceiling was collapsing.  We lived with it as long as we could, but a year ago finally bit the bullet and hired a designer.  We knew and shared what we wanted, but when his designs came back they were way off the mark, and honestly way outside our budget.  At that point, we took matters into our own hands and hired a contractor and went to a number of kitchen and tile stores for bids. 

Surprisingly, what we found was that Home Depot (honestly) had an amazing designer that really listened to us (patiently) and shared some very cool new products.  I know this is going to sound like a HD commercial, but we loved the results.  We bought our appliances at a high end store and the farm sink at Ferguson, but this ended up being our dream kitchen without having to go crazy with custom....  We've sent (skeptical) neighbors to HD since and they've yet to disappoint.  It may just be our local design lady...who knows, but this just goes to show you that you don't have to go broke for an amazing space.  , Kitchens    Design
