August was when the clients first reached out to me by email. The clients are a couple who are closing on their house in September, expecting a baby in October, and hoping to move in by Christmas time - an ambitious schedule. (In their own words, "Yes, we ARE crazy!") They suggested organizing the project into three phases, with phase 1 being everything it takes to get the house into a move-in condition that meets their needs and lifestyles. I couldn't agree more. I liked my clients already - ambitious yet clear-headed!Phase 1: Total kitchen remodel and refinishing of main living spaces
Phase 2: Total remodel of master bedroom and bathroom, and upstairs bathroom, including possible structural work
Phase 3: Total fitout and finishing of basement
The three-story house is about 3000 SF excluding what is currently an unfinished basement. It is 30 years old and has never been renovated. When I saw the photos that the clients sent, I got very excited. I was particularly attracted to the sectional changes (height changes) in the house - it feels both spacious and cozy - and the way daylight comes through wide, generous windows.
