Mellowood Home Remodel

Newly Remodeled Home

Even the exterior of this home, including landscaping, got remodeled.  We replaced the siding with stucco, added a stacked rock facade, replaced the exterior lights, added a new garage door and topped it all off with new shutters to add detail on the windows.

The previous owner of this home had lived there for many years and never remodeled any part of the home. In fact, it still had it's original wall oven and matching cooktop which were in surprisingly good shape.  Just take a look--these photos are very telling of the last time this home got a good update!


Not only did we take the oven and cooktop out, we took the whole wall with them.  This allowed for a much more open kitchen atmosphere, creating more of a great room. The great room got higher ceilings as well.  We took the 8 ft. ceiling up to almost 13 ft. by vaulting them.  Even without adding actual square footage, we were able to give this home a lot more space.

The fireplace went from painted white brick to this Carlsbad Grey 12x24 stone tiles.  It is much more modern and is very easy to coordinate with.

The Hall Bathroom went from drab and dark, to chic and bright. We brightened it up with a new suntube, pendant lights and some great new tile.  We re-tiled the floor, tub and backspash.

In order to fix the mess that was the Master Bathroom, we had to move a couple of walls.  See in the "before" picture here how there is a wall blocking the view to the shower?  That wall is actually the closet for the Master Bedroom and it was in the exact wrong place for the room.  We moved the closet and in turn, gained a larger shower!  We were also able to create more space for the Master Bath, by eliminating the hallway linen closet.  Take a look at the before and after photos, and then scroll down to see the floorplans to understand how the walls were moved.
