Is a Home Office Right for You?

In recent months, offices have been changing shape. In just a few weeks in early 2020, the way most people work drastically changed as authorities around the country issued stay-at-home orders and closed everything but essential businesses to help stop the spread of COVID-19. From small firms to Fortune 500 companies, business leaders quickly moved to operate with their workforces almost entirely remote.

The very concept of the modern office -- lots of people freely flowing in an open space for hours sharing desks and other facilities -- which seemed so normal a few months ago now appears antithetical to safety and productivity in the pandemic age.

As the massive work-from-home experiment waged on from weeks to months, some believe remote work is here to stay -- and a handful of companies including large corporations such as Microsoft have suggested they will be extending their remote work policies going forward.

Kitchen Renovation on Dunedin Causeway

We recently were fortunate enough to meet a wonderful client that lives on Dunedin Causeway. They live in a condominium that probably dates back to the 1970’s and it was in dire need of a renovation. We talked to the client and understood what their wants and needs were for the new space and came up with a plan that in the end turned out fabulous. We started by removing some of the intrusive walls that kept the kitchen ‘closed-in’. Added some beautiful cabinetry from Designer’s Choice cabinets that were provided by our friends at Palm Harbor Cabinets. Finished off with tile backsplash and LVP flooring throughout the home courtesy of Pro Source of Port Richey. The client was over the moon with the finished product and will enjoy many years of cooking and entertaining in their new space.

Bathroom Renovation In Port Richey - Westport

With the influx of construction in west Pasco during the late 60’s and 70’s, we saw a plethora of 2 and 3 bedroom homes being constructed with little or no attention paid to the existing bathrooms and kitchens in the homes. Homes on the water were no exception. Typically they were built to just be a functional space, but rarely did they ever accomplish this. We had the opportunity to renovate a gentleman’s master bathroom in the Westport area of Port Richey. It was a story that started off with the client having a tale of an unscrupulous contractor that he hired to perform his renovation project and things took a turn and lets just say they didn’t pan out. The client approached us to see what we could do. We never had the opportunity to see the bathroom in its original state as the tear out had already been taken care of, somewhat, by the previous contractor. We listened to what the client wanted to do with the space and devised a plan. We enlarged the shower area, adding specialty items like a wall niche, heated mirror, rain head shower, and of course a custom glass enclosure. To the main portion of the bathroom we were able to add a larger vanity with waterfall faucet, large framed mirror, and new lighting. New floor tile, wall tile, and accessories rounded out this build.

Bathroom Renovation in Trinity

Take a look at the latest home renovation that we had the pleasure of performing for a client in Trinity. This was a full master bathroom remodel, guest bathroom remodel, and a laundry room. The existing bathroom and laundry room were the typical early 2000’s era décor that you would expect in the area. The client came to us with a list of things that they wanted to accomplish in the various spaces. The master bathroom features new cabinetry with custom elements provided by Palm Harbor Cabinets. A free standing bathtub. New frameless glass shower. Custom tile that was provided by Pro Source Port Richey. New lighting and wainscoting finish off the look. In the master bathroom, we took the same steps and updated all of the tile, cabinetry, lighting, and trim as well. The laundry room was finished off with new cabinets, shelving, and custom tile work to give the space a dramatic feel.

Kitchen Renovation in South Tampa Bayshore

This kitchen that we completed in the Bayshore area of South Tampa is a perfect example of what you can do with color in a new space. Greens and blues are some of the most popular trends in cabinetry that we are seeing today. This kitchen turned out stunning in the end. All of the items that went into the build fit just perfectly and give the home an amazing new look. The kitchen was finished off with beautiful gold fixtures, accent lighting, and color coordinated flooring throughout the space.

Bathroom, Laundry Room, and Bedroom Renovation in South Tampa

Over the years we have been pleased to have so many return customers that have been so happy with their initial renovation that they have come back to us for more work when the time came. This project is a good example of that. We performed a kitchen renovation for this client back in 2017 and were so pleased when they asked us back to perform a renovation to their bathroom and bedroom space. The home is condo that was built in the early 1990’s and the existing design matched the era. When the home was originally built, they didn’t take a lot of care in to how to best manage the space. We sat down and discussed with the client all of their needs and came up with a new design that not only looked beautiful, but made use of the space much better. We renovated the shower area using our Schluter water membrane system. Finished it off with custom frameless glass and beautiful tile-work. The cabinets for the space were wall mounted to be able to utilize accent lighting underneath that gives the room an amazing feel. Vessel sinks and faucets round off the vanity area. We installed custom stained barn doors and hardware for the bathroom and closet areas. And we finished off the bedroom with some accent crown molding and lighting.
