Want your home to feel cohesive from floor to floor?

You don’t necesarily have to remodel the whole house at once, but you can carry design elements through every level.

These clients fell in love with Labradorite Blue when we remodeled their kitchen over two years ago. Now we’re finishing their basement, and that same blue is back on the walls and on their custom cabinets.

This wall does a lot of work.

Before the remodel, dry goods, small appliances and the holiday platters all lived in the basement because there was nowhere upstairs to put them. Now two floor-to-ceiling pantries handle the storage, with a built-in desk between them and floating shelves lit with LEDs.

Ever wonder what happens before a cabinets goes on the wall?

We set a laser level to find the high and low points of the room, then lay everything out. Every door and drawer gets labeled, and anything that will sit loose for a while gets wrapped.

This stand mixer used to live in the basement. Now it lives in the kitchen island.

A mixer lift was on their wish list from the very first meeting. The shelf swings up to counter height, locks in place and folds back down into the cabinet when they're done. No more carrying 20-plus pounds up the stairs every time someone wants cookies.

Before: dark cabinets, a fluorescent box light and a wall separating the kitchen from the rest of the main floor. The range sat on an inside wall next to the fridge.

After: the wall is gone, the range moved to the outside wall under a new hood, and an island that seats four sits in the middle of it all.

Swipe to see where we started and where we finished.

Is your house feeling cramped? You probably don't need more square footage.

Josh and Vicki's basement had plenty of room, but the layout and finishes were lacking.

We started with three layout concepts and walked through them together to figure out how they actually wanted to live. Now there's a wet bar and island for game day, a dedicated entertainment room, and a home gym. Same square footage, but now they have a layout that works for all of their needs.

They almost moved. Instead, these clients decided to make their Westminster home fit their family.

With rates where they are and so few updated homes on the market, staying made more sense. The old kitchen was boxed in by walls, and half their kitchen gear lived in the basement.

We took out the walls and built an island big enough for everyone to cook together. Tall pantries brought everything back upstairs.

We're jealous.

Why does a patio only need 4 inches of concrete but a foundation needs to go 3 feet down?

It comes down to what the concrete is carrying. This patio isn't holding up a structure, so it gets basic rebar. That doesn't stop it from cracking, it just keeps everything in one piece when the ground shifts.

A foundation is a different job. Those footings go 3 feet down, below frost depth (how far the ground freezes here in winter), and spread the weight of the walls and roof so nothing sinks or moves.

Why pour a foundation in two stages instead of all at once?

Because concrete moves. When the ground freezes or gets saturated, a foundation and the slabs around it shift at different rates. Tie them into one piece and something eventually cracks.

So everything structural goes in today, no seams. Everything else gets poured separately tomorrow, along with the curved edge.

See that green painted line on top of the forms? That's the outside edge of the walls we're framing next.
