1. Light Up Your Life
— add a fireplace
The warmth and mesmerizing flames of a fireplace create an enjoyable focal point in any room, whether it’s your great room or the master bath. Not only that, but adding a fireplace has proven to increase the value of a home.
2. A Place for Everything
— build a hobby room 
Reorganize your existing space to make it work better for you. Choose a centrally located room in your home and transform it into a multi-purpose hobby room designed specifically for your family’s lifestyle, or expand your existing laundry room into an adjacent space.

3. Inside Out and Outside In
— integrate the indoors with the outdoors
Make the outdoors more a part of your lifestyle year ‘round by using expansive glass door openings that connect the inside with the outside. Create an outdoor living space that transitions seamlessly between your kitchen/family room or master bedroom and an outdoor patio beyond.
4. Drop-Off Zone
— design a mudroom
Your mudroom could be a simple storage wall by the back door or you could borrow space from an adjacent area, creating a separate room filled with a variety of storage configurations. This is where you drop off your outerwear, purse and keys—and find them easily again
5. Exercise Your Options
— create an exercise spa 
To receive the benefits of exercise on a regular basis, create an exercise room at home. Plan this room to be inviting and comfortable so that you will be encouraged to use it. Choose bright colors and include a TV, mini-kitchen and even a shower
6. Opening Day
— create an open floor plan

Does your kitchen feel cramped and walled off from the rest of the home? It isn’t always necessary to build a new addition to get the open space you crave. We will help you identify underutilized areas of your home that could be incorporated into an open floor plan.
7. Office Max-imize
— design a home office

Do you need to keep tabs on your children while you are working or will you need privacy when you are meeting with clients? An unused dining room, three season room or extra bedroom can provide excellent space for a home office depending on your specific needs
8. You’re So Entertaining
— add an entertainment room

Based on your vision and budget for your entertainment room, you may want to
1. reenergize your existing great room or basement;
2. combine seldom-used rooms into one large entertainment room; or
3. add on to your home to gain the space you crave.
9. Walk-In Style
— build a walk-in closet
A walk-in closet organizes your wardrobe by providing individualized storage for each type of item. Your system may include a variety of cabinets, drawers, shelves, baskets, racks and cubbies. If you don’t think you have room for a walk-in closet, we are happy to help with your space planning.
10. Purr-fect for Your Pet
— create a spa for your pet

Keeping your pet healthy and happy requires regular grooming, fun activities, a balanced diet, and a comfortable place to sleep. Offer all this and more to your pet by choosing an area near your back door or selecting a corner of your mudroom or laundry room for a pet spa
