2009 Milwaukee/Nari Wisconsin Remodeler of the year awards
		This family of six plus two black Labs needed a functional kitchen for entertaining and dining. All new custom cabinetry was installed with matching doors for the refrigerator and freezer. Plumbing included a dual basin sink with drying rack and a prep sink. A one-of-a-kind hanging soffit that matches the island exactly in shape and size with Xenon accent lighting illuminates the ceiling. The dogs got separate feeding stations at a height recommended by a vet; both had plumbing and dog food storage. A built-in garage was constructed for the water cooler. Thermostatically controlled heated flooring was installed in both the kitchen and dining areas.
		The owners wished to make this bare lower level into an extension of the upstairs on a restricted budget. A “tray” ceiling was installed to mask the existing ductwork, creative use of arches and wide columns concealed load-bearing beams, and the staircase was opened up. A fireplace, custom maple bar, under mount sink, plumbing for a dishwasher, ceramic tile, billiards parlor with built-in pool cue alcove, custom vanity, walk-in shower, and glass French-style doors to the workout room were installed. All colors, textures, and woodwork were matched to the main level of the home.
