One question that comes up early in almost every renovation, Do you hire a designer first, or a builder?

Each path has its own strengths. A designer focuses on the vision. A builder focuses on ex*****on. But when those two roles are handled separately, sometimes what gets designed isn't quite what gets built, or what gets built doesn't fully reflect the original vision.

Design-build exists to close exactly that gap. Both sides are involved from the very beginning, so the design and the construction are considered together rather than passed along in separate stages.

It's a different way of approaching a project, and one worth understanding before you start.

This kitchen went through a complete transformation. New cabinetry, countertops, appliances, and finishes throughout.

With a kitchen renovation like this, most of the timeline isn't spent on what you actually see. It's the layout changes, electrical work, and structural adjustments happening behind the walls that have to be sequenced correctly before any of the finishes go in.

Planning a kitchen renovation comes with a lot of decisions, and it's easy to start with the most enjoyable ones like paint colors, finishes, and hardware. However, the choices that matter most should come first.

Layout, storage, seating, and materials determine whether a kitchen actually works for your daily life. Get these right, and the rest of the design falls into place more easily.

Swipe through for a few things worth considering before your next kitchen renovation.

A full first floor remodel on this one. The original layout felt closed off room to room, with dated finishes that no longer matched how the homeowners wanted to live and entertain.

Opening up the space changed everything. The new kitchen anchors the floor with a large island for seating, prep, and conversation, while the layout creates a clear sightline through to the dining and living areas. Every finish, from the cabinetry to the lighting to the tile, was chosen to feel timeless rather than trendy.

This is a good reminder that the right remodel isn't just about updating a room. It's about rethinking how a your home actually gets lived in.

A rooftop deck like this changes how a home is used. Guests move outside naturally, meals happen with a view of the skyline, and a space that used to sit empty becomes one of the most used parts of the property.

Outdoor spaces are often an afterthought in a renovation. On projects like this one, they end up being the feature people remember most.

This kitchen needed more than a few cosmetic changes.

This space went from dated and closed off to bright and open, finally letting the fireplace shine as the focal point it was always meant to be. The layout stayed largely the same, but the finishes, lighting and ceiling work completely changed how the room feels.

One thing worth knowing if you're renovating an older home, you don't have to choose between character and function. The original wood trim and door in this kitchen were preserved intentionally. Keeping details like that is often what makes a renovated older home still feel like itself.

If you're planning a bathroom renovation here are a few things worth knowing before you start.

Fixture finishes should be consistent throughout the space. Mixing metals can work but it needs to be intentional. Choosing one finish and committing to it across your faucet, shower, towel bars and cabinet hardware is one of the simplest ways to make a bathroom feel cohesive.

Ceiling color is one of the most overlooked decisions in a bathroom. Most people default to white but the ceiling is an opportunity to add depth and character to a small space.
Tile selection should happen early. The tile often drives every other decision in the room the vanity finish, the hardware color, the wall paint. Getting that locked in first makes everything else easier to choose.

Swipe to see how these decisions came together in this project.

A well designed pantry is one of those things you don't think about until you have one and then you can't imagine your kitchen without it.

Beyond the storage it adds, a dedicated pantry keeps your kitchen cleaner, more functional and easier to maintain day to day. Everything has a place and your counters stay clear.

If you're planning a kitchen renovation or remodel in the near future this is something worth adding to the conversation early. A pantry is much easier to plan for before the project starts than to try to work in after the fact.
