The theme carried throughout the home circles around the owners’ love for the beach. The bathrooms are equipped with dual flush commodes, stranded bamboo flooring, low VOC paints and environmental cabinets. Glass tile in water toned greens and blues are found throughout the master bath.

This remodeled home is truly a wonderful place to reside!

It included a home theater and play room for the children as well as an Irish pub and recreation area for the adults. To complete the project, a bedroom and bath were added to accommodate out of town guests.

As with all remodeling projects, C. Roy Homes’ main focus is to create a space that is an extension of the existing home while capturing the owners’ new ideas and needs.

Type of job:  Kitchen / First Floor Renovation

Details:
This first floor renovation was recently completed by Renovations Unlimited Design Build Team.  Although the kitchen was open to the great room and the home had a first floor laundry closet; the home did not serve all of the Owner's needs.  Several options were explored ranging from just a new kitchen layout to a more aggressive rear addition with an expanded kitchen and laundry room. After exploring the options and incorporating ideas from the different plans, the final design was created. The Owner's now have a new first floor layout that meets all their needs without having to build an addition, thus preserving their rear yard living space undisturbed.

The seat mirrors the curved granite on the tub deck. The addition houses an art studio with a stunning view. A quantity of windows was used to give a balance of soft natural light to the area.

Type of Job:
Kitchen, Foyer, Laundry, Rear Porch Remodel with Family Room and Powder Room Addition

Details:
The owners of the 1960's Upper Arlington ranch wanted a bigger kitchen, a family room and a more open floor plan in the living areas of their home. After looking at other homes in the community, they felt the best choice was to add on and remodel their current home, which they still loved. R.J. Landis accomplished all their goals with a redesign of the interior of the home and the addition of a sunroom and a powder room.
This project starts at the front door where walls and flooring were removed. Craftsman style columns and inlaid tile flooring now create a visual separation from the living room and dining room while maintaining an open feeling. Walls were removed in the kitchen to provide more space for a new large kitchen with a gourmet chef's island and an eating counter. The new kitchen has granite countertops, maple cabinets and stainless appliances.
A new richly appointed powder room was added off of the kitchen that features a vanity table, glass tiles and a lion's head water spout.
A large portion of the rear of the house was removed to open the new kitchen to a cathedral ceiling family room. The added room has large craftsman style windows (some with leaded art glass), a fireplace and a custom entertainment center. Hardwood flooring runs throughout the entire project which ties in to the existing home making this project almost seamless.
An existing rear porch which adjoins the new family room addition was remodeled also with a remarkably designed tile floor. A rear paver patio with landscaping and a fountain complete this Showcase project giving the homeowners exactly what they wanted in their home.

Outstanding Project Features:

• Redesign of existing foyer, living room, dining room and kitchen for modern open floor plan
• Inlaid stone type tile floor in foyer
• Craftsman style columns in living room visually separate from foyer and dining room
• Distinctive kitchen island with accenting cabinetry and granite countertop
• Eating counter with custom pedestal

The kitchen boasts a highly sculpted ceiling with dramatic over scaled pendant lights centered over a raised curved counter. The floor plan was designed to facilitate easy, comfortable circulation for groups of 50 to 80 guests, yet be comfortably scaled for the family of five.

Major changes to this ordinary two-story Worthington home create outstanding improvements to the kitchen, family room, den and mud/laundry room area of the first floor.

The new 'bistro' style kitchen features a stone surround alcove incorporating a 5-foot Wolfe range. The nine-foot island with custom floating beam ceiling, hickory cabinets and granite countertops makes this a truly exceptional kitchen. The existing living room was divided into two separate spaces. The front half of the living room was converted to a den, completely paneled in hickory, incorporating bookcases and ceiling beams. The back half of the living room was opened up to the existing family room and a theatre alcove was created with wide screen TV and surround sound.
