20 Year Old Home Remodel

In January 2026, I began assisting Vellinga Custom Homes with the design of this project. The home, originally constructed in 2006, was in excellent condition and provided a solid foundation for a remodel. We made several changes to the floor plan for improved functionality, such as relocating the laundry room from the kitchen area and converting it into a spacious butler's pantry. The laundry room was moved upstairs to be closer to the bedrooms. The entryway, which initially had two-story ceilings, was modified to create a bathroom with a double vanity by separating the floors. We also enclosed some walls, added a second, deep two-car garage, and altered the garage entries for better space utilization. The basement was completely finished, and we added a mother-in-law suite, featuring a full kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, laundry, and living area.

Each part of this home was updated with new flooring, baseboards and trim, windows, doors, paint, mirrors, lighting, and cabinetry. The result is a home that feels fresh, warm, and functional. Below are some before and after photos of the remodel.
