Customer Stories
Dahl Field Major Remodel
The Customer wanted to stay in their neighborhood but needed a major remodel. The existing home had very low ceilings and a poor floor plan. Customer’s father designed the plans, but since he is in Texas, Lakeview Design & Construction put the permit plans together and obtained the permit. The house was gutted to framing, and all plumbing , electrical, and heating systems were removed. A second floor was added over the rear while the front of the house featured raised sloping ceilings. Reclaimed pine floors, shiplap detailing, hand painted tiles, and vibrant colors create a completely new look.
Volunteer Park Bathroom Revamp
The existing master bath was showing its age in terms of style and layout - the combination bath & laundry was not working for the kids. Note - the before photo with the tub was full of clothes! Both rooms were demoed to the studs for a fresh, new floorplan. The new layout featured a separate laundry accessed from the common hall and a new sleek kid’s bathroom where function meets fun. The master bath is a true luxury spa; heated floors, custom wood cabinets, a soaking tub adjacent to a walk-in shower. The tile work is exceptional as well as the dimmable lighting in both bathrooms. The Customer also mentioned that with toilet paper shortages, the bidet style toilet was a great added bonus! Having these new bathrooms has made working from home during this time an easier transition and more functional for the family as a whole.
View Ridge Master Suite with a View
For the third project at this Customers home we were to transform the Master Suite, as well as re do 2 other bath room. The existing bath had a distinctive 80’s design, with a giant soaking tub that was rarely used. The floor plan was completely rearranged, new windows installed, including the new side window with a perfectly framed view of Mt. Rainer. The finished project rivals professional spas. Yet Aging in Place design was used unobtrusively throughout. Features include: tile pattern selected for non skid, no shower threshold, grab bars that don’t look like grab bars, built in lighting at the mirror, and a washer let toilet set. The bedroom featured new tile at the fireplace a built in TV, new carpet, and paint colors.
Ballard Vintage Home, New Baths
The Customer wanted to claim some useable space from their 1910 Ballard farmhouse. The upper floor was essentially an unfinished attic. We created an office with a view, a guest bedroom, and a cozy bathroom tucked in under the eaves. Refinished original flooring, handpainted tiles, great color choices help the new spaces feel like they belong.
Ballard Skinny House Kitchen
This kitchen remodel had limited space to work with and no way to expand the exterior. A few small walls were removed which really opened up the kitchen layout. New bright white cabinets, white quartz cabinets, white subway tile splash gave the brightness and feeling of a much larger space with no new windows or any addition. Two bathrooms were also updated.
Juanita remodel
A former customer bought a new home in Juanita and asked Lakeview Design & Construction to transform the kitchen, powder, and dining room into something special. The custom cabinets (Vision Woodworks) were white oak with a multi step deep finish and glaze. Translucent panels were used at the back of the eating bar and were back lit. The dining room featured a new coffered ceiling with hidden cove lighting.A special feature in the dining nook was the steel and glass bar shelving. It was backlit with LED’s and the colors could be changed according to your mood.
Inverness Kitchen Remodel
The customers wanted to transform the interior of their mid century modern home to reflect a more French Tuscany style. The whole space was cleared out, kitchen torn out, flooring removed, walls moved, and the fireplace facing removed. The results are stunning, including the cabinets, fireplaces, large slate tiles that extend out onto the deck. And the new deck rail!
View Ridge Kitchen Addition
The Customers loved their neighborhood but the 50’s kitchen was not working for their busy family, including all the neighborhood drop-in kids! The solution was an addition out the rear. This allowed for enough space to design and build an open kitchen/dining area with a direct access to the back yard as well.
