Project #1

Fireplace Mantle and Built-in TV Surround

The before photo shows the slate tile around the fireplace and the hearth and you will note that the hearth is raised just off the floor. The whole wall unit also has more of a contemporary feel to it and doesn't utilize the space very well.

As you can see after the project, the fireplace has been replaced and moved more to the center of the wall with the plasma screen just above it. Also notice all of the detailed trim work and how much more of a statement this room has. On the left end you will notice that we did built in shelving for books, DVD's, etc. You can't see it but on the right end of the unit is a built in cabinet that hides all of the electronics! A great use of space without detracting from the overall look.

Dining Room and Informal Eat-in Kitchen

These pictures are not a side by side comparison but just a few things we wanted to point out. The dining area before had a cherry cabinet built in with the slate on the wall which tied in with the old fireplace. You will also note that there was a pantry unit on the end by the cabinet. Just next to the pantry is the laundry room which was totally gutted and moved to the other side of the house. The old laundry room became a walk in closet/storage area. After the remodel, you will see that the cherry cabinets have all been removed and replaced with all new cabinetry as well as a mixture of light and dark finishes. On the right side of the picture you will see that the cherry built in is gone as is the pantry and the doorway to the laundry room. The family has grown since we built this house 9 years ago so the
dining area needed to accommodate their family!

Kitchen Area

From this vantage point you can pretty much compare the before and the after. We totally revamped where the appliances are. All of the custom cabinets were taken out and all new custom cabinets went in. The sub-zero was moved to where the oven/microwave was. The hood over the cooktop is massive and works well over the commercial stove with a double oven. There were extra subtle things that now make this a gourmet kitchen. Notice the ambient lighting in the upper cabinets. The backsplash behind the cooktop is now a great focal point and really shows off our homeowners' taste in design. The cabinets were painted and then antiqued to give this kitchen a warm look and there's plenty of space for everyone.

Home Office Cabinetry

This room has been totally revamped. As you look a thte pictures, you will notice that with the new cabinets, we brought them over to the window trim and took advantage of those extra few inches. Again, the cherry cabinets have been replaced with new custom cabinetry. The inside back of the cabinets is beadboard which was painted and the exterior of the cabinets was also painted but then it had a glaze put on. It really gives the cabinets a look that is warm and inviting and things are very functional and organized. You can't really see it but we customized the desktop area of the office. All of the computer cabling is hidden under the desktop but we left easy access if they ever need to get at the cabling. You will also notice that the new trim work is painted and not stained. That really brightens up the room and
the under cabinet lighting is a great feature too!

Bathrooms

This part of the house was added on to so the master bedroom and batroom and closet grew by about 7 feet. You wouldn't think that would make much of a difference, but the plan is so great that the the master suite is an oasis all it's own. In the old bathroom the master closet was at the end of the bathroom. In the new layout we moved the closet behind the vanity area. On each end of the vanity is a closet door to the great walk in closet. An you can see that storage isn't an issue either! The new bathroom has a sleek look to it and everything is right at your fingertips. The new sinks are much larger and the mirror has been replaced aas well as the light fixtures.

Shower/Toilet

As part of revamping this master bathroom, the shower has been moved to the opposite end and the old shower area has now become the water closet. Notice the cabinets in the water closet. Nice feature.

Wall Unit/Home Gym

As you come down to the lower level the old layout had a built in book shelf. Now we opened up that wall and put in french doors and a wall of mirrors along with some cabinetry to house exercise equipment, towels, etc.

Project #2

Exterior Before and After Photos

The old exterior was a combination of vinyl siding and brick. As you can see we used vinyl siding again, but updated the look by using shakes on the gables of the house. We also eliminated the brick and used natural stone on the front pillars to draw your eye to the front entry. The house also received a new roof along with new aluminum soffits and fascia. The house now has a new personality that reflects our homeowners style and taste.

Garage Before and After Photos

The homeowners lost their garage in the 2008 Hugo tornado. You will see in the before picture that the entire front elevation of the house was destroyed. The finished house doesn't show any evidence of the events of the tornado.

Foyer & Stairway Before and After Photos

In the before picture you will see that the trim work was very traditional and had the shiny brass hardware. The railing and newel poses were also very traditional looking but had to be replaced due to glass being embedded in parts of the wood. When we trimmed out the house, you can see how we updated the trim work around the closet door and all of the hardware is now the oil rubbed bronze hardware. The railing on the wall was eliminated and moved to the other side of the stairway and the newel posts and spindles now have a more current and updated look.
This again reflects the design taste of our homeowners.

Kitchen Before and After Photos

We were able to salvage most everything in the kitchen. The homeowners kept the appliances and the cabinet framing but decided to update the kitchen by having new cabinet doors made. You will notice that the old kitchen had the arch in the cabinet doors. The new door fronts have more of a craftsman look and new hardware. The owners also had one set of cabinets with the frosted glass inserts just to add a little bit of a contemporary flare to the cabinets.
We also added some pendant lighting that was lacking before.

Fireplace Before and After Photos

The fireplace before had a more traditional feel to it with the raised hearth and the low profile mantle. The new fireplace has a slate tile look along with a reclaimed piece of wood which was used as the new mantle. We eliminated the raised hearth and inlaid the tile. The hardwood floors were stripped, sanded and refinished. Again,
all new trim work around the windows as well as base shoe.

This home featured above is a brownstone that the builder had taken to the sheet rock stage. The owners had requested that Husnik Homes do all of the finish work.

You will see in the pictures that the staircase from the living area to the dining area and from the dining area to the 2nd level (Before/After 3) were demolished and in it's place we had beautiful custom made railings with a powder coat finish. It really opens the area up and gives the brownstone a clean contemporary look.

The kitchen was a clean slate other than the fixtures were removed and replaced. To carry the railing theme through to the kitchen, you will see that we used the same material to support the breakfast bar area. Another nice feature is the kitchen overlooks the living area, so even though you may be in the kitchen, you can still be a part of conversations taking place in the living room.

Prairie stone tile floors and Split Face Bluestone tile on the fireplace face add a lot of color and dimension to this space.
