DeHaan Remodeling Specialists, Inc. Garage Remodel Project

We designed the Birmingham Showhouse family room to include the characteristics of the Arts and Crafts style through the use of organic materials, with a hand-made quality. There is also slight Japanese aesthetic running through the design. It was designed to be a warm, comfortable place for the entire family to spend time in. For example, we designed the bookcases with integral, pull-out desks, allowing the room to serve many functions. The color palate is warm neutrals, with interest being added by using many textures and punches of geometric pattern. Of note, is the fireplace surround clad in patinated steel plate with rivets, the custom cow-hide herringbone rug, the drapery hardware made from copper plumbing pipe, and the antique Thai teak log trestle table. The custom ceiling light anchors the space, while the wall light swings to the desk area as needed.

This laundry room offers so much more then just cleaning. Thermador fridges and a substantial amount of storage makes it easy to store items. The gray cabinets with the slate herringbone floors makes this laundry room a one of kind.

The driveway doubles as a basketball court. The surface of the court is made with smooth pavers and are laid with precision. Note the baskets are on adjustable poles...so whether it's a kid's game or adult one-on-one, everybody plays!

If adding depth to a design while adding light is a goal of yours, take a tip from Clear Cut Construction. This modernized kitchen contains an Asian Statuary tile laid in a striking herringbone pattern. The natural appeal of stone broadens the space while the pattern movement keeps things interesting.
