My Latest Design & Remodel

January 10, 2019

James Remodel - This project is a house built a long time ago :). I have created a design that requires the kitchen to be moved from the front left corner of the house to the back right corner. I know, I know, "Go Big or Go Home" :D! I'm putting the kitchen in the back so the home owners can enjoy the view of the river from the living and kitchen. I'll be adding a deck off the back of the house to allow even more river viewing. I'm taking out most of the interior walls that were in the original house to open up the floor plan. This house had 12' ceilings originally and some time ago there was an 8 ft ceiling added so we are taking the 8 ft ceiling down and raising the ceiling up to 10' which will give this space more open feeling. I'm turning the old bedroom into a laundry/pantry/guest 1/2 bath/coat closet. Naturally I'll be adding a 5 ft wide kitchen window to view the river. It's kinda my signature to add larger kitchen windows. I just think if we need to stand there cleaning up, we might as well feel like we're out side. I'm turning the old kitchen into a master bedroom, closet & bath. The bath will have a walk-in tiled showed surrounded by glass. The tube will be a drop/built-in tub and this bath will have a double vanity. All of the windows will be replaced and rep-positioned. I'm replacing and moving the staircase that goes downstairs and adding a gas fireplace. I'm so excited to be doing this project because I love seeing old homes being invested in. There's so many memories there and I think of the investment generations before made. How proud they were of their home and the security the home gave.

My Current design & project

Calvary Baptist Education & Office Building Design & New Construction - our church has been saving for several years to replace the old/original buildings. It was my honor to offer my design ability and after several months we agreed on a plan. A plan led to contracting this project. The goal was to simply replace with a more usable, cost efficient, maintenance friendly design. The church had a few needs like offices, larger restrooms toward the front, bigger Sunday school classrooms and storage. A few items I added and presented was a gathering/large foyer, library in foyer and a small kitchen area for coffee etc. It all worked out and we are so excited to see this project progress. All Glory to God!

My Current design & project

James Design & Remodel - this remodel is on the river in Ozark and is starting in January. It is a total remodel on the main living level. I'll be rearranging the kitchen, which is in the front of the house now and putting it in the back to allow the view of the river to be seen from the kitchen window. "Drama"!!! I’m adding a deck to the back with French doors from the living room and kitchen. I’m taking a bedroom and a bathroom out and adding a master bedroom and bath in the area where the current kitchen is. I'll be putting the new laundry, pantry & guest bath near the garage. I can't wait to get started and show the pictures. One of my goals is to try and bring back some of the original architectural elements.

Day Design & Remodel - This project is in the demo phase right now but will soon be getting the living space opened up and the chimney removed. The client wants a more user friend fireplace. She is going with an electric instead of wood burning. This house will be getting all new flooring, paint and a new kitchen. The deck will be extended and a larger kitchen window will be installed.
