We converted their formal dining room into two separate spaces, a family room and an office for this telecommuting client. We opened up the walls in the main living area to create an open concept between the living room, dining room, and kitchen. We did a complete kitchen remodel to this space and as requested by our clients, new laminate flooring throughout the main level.

Inspired by their summer home in Oregons beautiful city of Sunriver, these clients wanted something rustic, hearty and stoutyet still grandkid friendly! Opening up the wall and getting rid of the awkward angled peninsula gave them the space needed for those lively family gatherings. Dont worry about the new knotted hickory cabinets (reminiscent of the rusticness of Sunriver) this wood is especially hard, making it resistant to dents or damage. Sitting atop this rustic cabinetry along the kitchens perimeter is Pentals Coastal Gray quartz countertop. The backsplash surrounding the countertop harkens towards the Sucuri granite island where all the grandkids now huddle to watch grandma in the kitchen. And we know youre wondering about those glass pendants hanging above. A touch of the industrial from Elk Lighting, these pendants help add to that rustic, yet cozy feel of the familys vacation home. With this new homey and functional kitchen the question then becomes which house is the real vacation home? (We think its this one!).

Just like the kitchen, the bathrooms were past their prime. Old oak vanities were replaced with stained hickory cabinets. A chiseled granite vessel sink sits atop a slab of Sucuri granite in the powder room, all surrounded by 8 glass backsplash.

Established in 1859, the Alameda neighborhood in Northeast Portland is home to many historic cottages and craftsman style houses just like this one. And in a neighborhood that takes pride in itself we wanted to design a new kitchen our clients could also take pride in. In order to accomplish this we took inspiration from our clients themselves, who between busy work schedules and raising their two kids wanted a kitchen that was functional and professional, yet fun and inviting. To do that we had to overcome one of the most common concerns in remodeling space. First things first, we removed the load-bearing pillars leading from the kitchen to the back room by re-engineering structural framing. This opened up the flow from kitchen to the TV room to the terraced backyard, making entertaining easy. Speaking of easy, you know that space problem we mentioned earlier? Well our designer was able to create evemore by relocating the refrigerator and installing a 30 Sub Zero fridge with built in matching panels. The addition of refrigerator drawers at the breakfast bar that divides the two rooms not only provides extra refrigerator space, but makes serving the morning juice or snacks before a busy day a cinch. A 15 deep pantry with chalkboard panels provides even more food storage, along with a place for the kids to draw and hang their upcoming sports schedules. You wouldnt think an island in such a tight-fitting kitchen would be plausible, but the new 20 X 30 island, painted Benjamin Moores Chelsea Gray, isnt just stylish its functional! Equipped with storage for cutting boards and knives it makes for yet another easy place to prepare meals. For these health conscious, environmentally friendly Portland dwellers a compost/recycle center was a must. But built into the base cabinet with its own pull out drawer you wouldnt even know it was there. What you might notice is the reflective glass backsplash, which pulls in colors from other rooms, creating that sense of cohesiveness throughout the whole house our designer finds essential. Just like the preexisting kitchen, the TV room was small, dark and confined. This space issue was solved by removing the closet and custom designing a built in component and storage unit for the TV, recessing it into the preexisting closet space. No protruding TV, no visible cords or consoles now this space is easy to flow through while guests are entertained from the kitchen to the terrace, yet is still accessible for those nights off with some Netflix.

This unexpected bathroom remodel came while demoing the kitchen downstairs. Due to previous improper engineering, our team was quite surprised to find the bathtub from upstairs coming through the kitchen ceiling! But here at Northland were always ready for surprises. In the middle of working on the kitchen design, our designer had to now come up with a bathroom design on the fly in order to ensure all remodeling stayed on schedule. But not only were we on a time crunch; the bathroom was an unexpected expense, meaning we had to come up with a great design that was relatively inexpensiveand fast! But youd never know that by looking at the finished product The pure white vessel sinks paired with Tech Lightings Mini Benton Pendants contrast this espresso finished alder vanity. Between that and the frameless walk-in shower with both a handheld and rain shower head, you would never imagine this remodel came unplanned. Finished off with Benjamin Moores Chelsea Gray on the walls, this bathroom not only ties in with the rest of the house, but demands attention of its own.

The owners of this 90s home wanted a uniquely designed and refreshingly original bathroom remodel that reflected both modern and natural aspects. Taking into consideration our clients??? taste for the sleek and sophisticated, paired with the natural setting of this home in the hills of Forest Heights in Northwest Portland, an area currently high in demand, our team was able to develop an organic and textural, yet crisp and refined design. It manages to be glamorous without being glitzy and masculine without being rustic.

Originally built by our humble owner himself and his father in 1976, this job holds sentimental value. The owners, who just so happen to also be Rods brother and sister-in-law, were quite attached to their 35 year Tigard home with its quiet and secluded setting surround by trees, yet still just a few minutes from I-5 freeway access. But now, with kids raised and out of the house, they decided it was time to trade in the 70s style gold vinyl floors, dark brown shag carpet and dark, dingy and rather uninspiring kitchen and family room for a space they would look forward to coming home to after world travels and a space inspired by them.
