Solutions

Holistic Design

Reimagined the first floor layout to better connect the kitchen, dining, and family room. Introduced a large central island for gathering and added visual cohesion with arched design elements repeated throughout.

Premium Features

Installed quartzite countertops, a full-height quartz backsplash with integrated wall ledge, and brass vintage-inspired lighting. Used apothecary-style shelving, green floral wallpaper, and a stained arched pantry door to add charm and personality.

Storage Solutions

Removed original pantry closets and transformed the formal dining room into a custom walk-in pantry, laundry, and mudroom—significantly expanding storage and improving flow.

Sunroom Integration

Updated the underutilized sunroom with new windows, doors, siding, and a dedicated HVAC mini-split system, creating a space that now seamlessly connects to the rest of the home.

Structural Enhancements

Resolved hidden issues such as sunroom rot and relocated plumbing with minimal impact to budget or timeline.

Lighting Upgrade

Layered lighting—sconces flanking the kitchen range hood, elegant pendants, and statement brass fixtures—adds warmth and dimension throughout.

Material Selection

Used durable, high-end finishes including quartzite, quartz, stained wood, and custom cabinetry that bring a refined touch to every corner.

We have had an incredible experience with Bailey Design + Build, and we cannot reiterate enough how highly we recommend them. Home renovation horror stories abound, but the team ensured this process was seamless, straightforward, and truly enjoyable.
