Featured In-Progress Remodel #2130 by Project Manager, Paul Moore

If you follow Maverick, you know we love to share our amazing home remodels to help you feel inspired for your very own home remodeling projects. Well, we’re back with a current home remodeling project in progress that you will love!

This home remodeling project in Littleton, Colorado, consists of a full kitchen remodel, a family room remodel, a brand new powder room, a new large pantry, and a dream mudroom with two entrances, one from the garage and the other from the front door.

The original architectural design of the house is unique, to say the least. Not only are there octagon-shaped rooms in the kitchen and family room, but there are also angles in the walls that connect to the ceiling, which drastically shortened the height of the room. Our original plan was to open up the kitchen area as much as possible by removing a wall and allowing for 10-foot high ceilings creating a clear view of the family room.

With an established goal of raising the kitchen ceilings, the demo quickly began. Well, you can imagine our surprise when we discovered a scissor truss ceiling above the kitchen!

Creating The Ultimate Home Office

In today’s world, whether your office remains closed post-COVID, your children are in hybrid school, or you simply need a quiet area to get work done, having a workspace at home is almost a necessity. Rather than setting up a temporary spot at the dining table or attempting to work on the couch, consider breathing new life into your home with a dedicated home office.

Having a remote setup has many benefits, including increased productivity, savings on commute time and expenses, freedom to create your ideal space, and flexibility. Here are tips for designing an office at home.
