Home is where the heart is, but it’s also where your entire family is 24-hours a day right now. It might have you thinking about a room that needs some help. We’re now offering E-Design for all “pull and replace” projects!
To our clients, friends and neighbors – we are thinking of you all right now as you’re hunkered down in your homes, many of which we’ve had the privilege of working on over the years.
When a past client of ours called wanting a master bathroom addition on her Brookside tudor there was only one thing to do: call Dan Wessel. Dan, our longtime architect partner, is the master of designing new spaces to look and feel as though they belonged to the house from the very beginning.
If you haven’t already, check out this post for a little background on this remodeling project. You’ll see that about 18 months ago we tackled the clients’ bathroom, and after a bit of a break, they wanted to knock out the kitchen as well. While the bathroom needed a full gut and required us to move quite a bit of plumbing, the kitchen remodel wasn’t nearly as invasive. It was mostly the look and feel of the kitchen that drove the clients bananas, not so much the function of it.

Classic case of the cobbler’s kids. My personal home is an indefinite work in progress. But after having Ruth come by to take some pictures of my kids’ rooms before we did a little re-arranging a few weekends ago, I realized that despite introducing you to our then-new home in 2016 and having you follow…
I still remember when the call came through a couple years ago. A woman had seen this picture in an advertisement in Spaces Magazine: And it dawned on her that just as this bathroom in the ad was once the sleeping porch of an old Brookside home, so too could her Brookside sleeping porch become…
I was telling a client the other day that we’ve never turned a generally unhappy person into a happy person with a beautiful remodel. But what we’re really good at is making happy people even happier. As was the case with these incredible Mission Hills clients. Authentically kind, always trusting and super complimentary at every…
Our designer Ruth put us in touch with these homeowners last summer as they were buying their first home as a married couple in KC. The Brookside bungalow they landed on, with its wrap-around porch, oozed charm from the street but was not without its flaws inside. No master bathroom (just a hall bath serving…
