Storage, but make it chic 👌

While the Riverfront Retreat received quite the glow-up, it was still a basement, and having storage is key. We built out a large closet along the back wall of the gym, but to keep our clients' upgraded space looking clean and streamlined, we installed several hidden doors. These doors were cleverly concealed behind the modern wall paneling, making it appear as though it was simply a decorative wall. We love it when we can optimize a space without sacrificing its aesthetic.

Last Friday, we spent a special evening in Amesbury celebrating the 200th birthday of Mill 2, home to Amesbury Industrial Supply and the Amesbury Carriage Museum.

Back in 2020, just as COVID was beginning to impact everything around us, BLB Design / Build was entrusted with the buildout of the lower level of Mill 2 alongside Flatbread. It was a challenging project during an uncertain time, but one we're incredibly proud of. Every time we walk into that space, we're reminded of what can be accomplished through collaboration, craftsmanship, and perseverance.

A big thank you to Greg Jardis for his continued philanthropy and dedication to the City of Amesbury and its nonprofit organizations. His commitment to preserving the city's history while investing in its future is something worth celebrating.

Happy 200th Birthday, Mill 2! Here's to the next chapter of this remarkable landmark.

Happy Memorial Day! ☀️

Cheers to the unofficial start of summer. We can't wait for beach days, outdoor showers, and dining al fresco. With the siren call of the outdoors beckoning us all, having an organized entryway becomes even more important. Built-in shoe storage, hooks for bags & light jackets, and plenty of closet space close to your entrance make all the difference in keeping your home clean and clutter-free.

What are you looking forward to most this summer?

A basement kitchenette, but make it elevated 👌

The basement at the Riverfront Retreat was finished but outdated and lacking in any character. Our clients wanted to refresh the space and design the room to feel cohesive with the river landscape in their backyard.

Walking downstairs, your eye immediately goes to the new kitchenette. Custom cabinetry with plenty of storage, dark blue paint carried from the cabinets to a coffered ceiling, and a tile backsplash reminiscent of the surrounding natural world all work together to make the space a standout.

The biggest challenge in this basement remodel was how to address the crazy soffits in the space, which were required for the existing HVAC system. We did this by emphasizing the ceiling height where we had it with the feature color and low-profile trim accents. Carrying that same darker blue accent color onto the exterior wall drew the eye to the windows and the great view of the river.

Taking your at-home gym to the next level 💪

Our clients at the Riverfront Retreat were looking to upgrade their finished basement. One of their must-haves was a new, dedicated gym space. In addition to new flooring, paint, and a reeded glass door, the standout of the room is the wood slat accents. The modern wall panelings added warmth, interest, and some sound-dampening to the space. They also gave us an opportunity to blend away the hidden storage closets along the wall. There's nothing better than creating something that is both beautiful and functional!

Preserving our community's history and supporting the arts 🎭 ✂️

Today, we had the pleasure of attending the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for Theater in the Open's Gatekeeper House. We are honored to have played a part in this historic restoration, which included installing new trim, shingle siding, and stucco, and repairing the roof. As a second home for so many in the community, it was important to ensure this beloved building stands for another 100 years. Congratulations, Theater in the Open! We hope you enjoy actually having insulation.

Stay tuned for a behind-the-scenes look at this project and what it took to bring the historic property back to life!
