PROJECT FEATURE: Split Level Upper Floor Remodel

New owners brought a new vision for this 1986 Golden Valley home. Part of the vision was to reconfigure the main level to better accommodate their lifestyle. This was accomplished by making the kitchenette, kitchen, dining room and living room one large open space. Two large kitchen islands now become the focal point which welcome people in.

Another substantial change has been the combination of two bedrooms to make one large master suite. The master suite now includes a bedroom, large master closet, multipurpose room and the master bathroom has almost doubled in size. The idea behind the master’s multipurpose room is that it can function as an office or sitting room or baby’s room.

In addition to the layout changes is an overhaul of the main level finishes. New materials have been selected to create a simplistic and neutral backdrop which transformed the space into a modern design aesthetic.

This remodel has created a space that is to set the tone for revamping the home’s exterior and basement. The main level and entryway is now the space these new homeowners envisioned spending the next twenty plus years.

EDUCATION FEATURE: Barn Door

Separating this home’s master suite from the rest of the home is a beautiful sliding barn door. Here’s how we did it:

We reused one of their existing swing doors and modified it by filling in the hinge grooves and filling in the knob hole. We also primed and painted all sides of the door. Then, the door was hung using a track from Signature Hardware: Model # 939903, 6′ length, Stainless steel.
