Maryland Porch-Sunroom Remodel

This cabin in the woods was transformed into a beautiful modern tree-house like retreat for the very happy homeowner. Hardiplank siding with Boral trim was used, Marvin double hung, Magnum windows and a commercial rubber roof to give the home an updated face-lift. The interior was dressed up with a natural slate floor and Perennial wood ceiling to give that rustic look. Finishing this retreat home are amenities such as a very modern Fire Orb hanging fireplace and a cedar wood Home Sauna from Canada.

Renovate Mid Century Modern

The living room and kitchen were separated by a large wall with a standard doorway.  By removing that wall the light from the living room wall of windows now flows abundantly into the newly renovated mid-century modern kitchen.  The fireplace was updated from the white brick to new glossy white floor-to-ceiling wave tile creating a sleek modern look surrounded by drywall.  The rustic wood beams were painted black and included in the style to add a natural element along with the hardwood flooring which replaces the carpet.

Baltimore Industrial Design Loft
