You know we love sharing projects that INSPIRE! So we’re back with an update and completion of last month's blog, Featured In-Progress Remodel #2130.
The scope for this Littleton, Colorado project consists of a complete kitchen remodel, family room upgrade, new powder room, new large pantry, and a dream mudroom with two entrances - one from the garage and the other from the front door. After completing this project, this home is not only a new wonderful living space but now the perfect home for entertaining! So let’s do a tour…
The original plan was to open up the kitchen area as much as possible by removing a wall and allowing the existing 10-foot high ceiling to create a clear view of the family room. However, once we discovered the kitchen had a scissor truss ceiling, our opportunity for this remodel really opened up!
Scissor trusses meant none of the interior kitchen walls were load-bearing and could be removed. We adapted our initial plans, removed the existing kitchen walls and ceiling, and opened up the room.
The result is a true open concept for the entire main level, complete with 24-foot vaulted ceilings - instead of the initially planned 10 ft ones. See for yourself!

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!
Remodeling Advice from a Project Manager
Prepare for Holiday House Guests with a Well-Stocked Bathroom
Whether they’re spending the night, moving in, or simply over for an evening of wine, a well-stocked, welcoming guest bath is the mark of a great host.
Giving your guest bath some extra attention could be the thing to tie your entire home together. And what better opportunity to WOW guests with your bathroom design than when they’re staying over for the holidays!
Typically, guest bathrooms are small. Although your guests’ visit may be brief, there is no reason it should be uncomfortable. If you’re considering remodeling the space, our contractors can help. We will work with you to make the best plan, considering everything from space, storage, lighting, design, and of course, budget.

Double Duty: Setting Up Multifunctional Rooms
With kiddos going back to school and parents still working remotely, there’s no better time to consider maximizing your home’s space. In the wake of COVID, a versatile interior is essential. For those not living in sprawling estates, multipurpose rooms are a great solution for homeowners looking to use their space effectively and efficiently. Think: kitchens are used for dining and homework stations; home offices double as guest bedrooms.
Of course, every room serves its own function. Your first step is determining the kind of space you need. Will you use it for dining, working, socializing, relaxing? What about working and dining? Socializing and relaxing? There are many areas with crossover uses, and that’s precisely where multifunctional rooms come in! Take a look at our list of room combination ideas to help you live large, no matter your home’s square footage.
Fire Prevention & Preparedness
Like many Coloradans, we too, had friends impacted by the Marschall Fire in Boulder County earlier this month. The devastation was surreal and sparked several conversations surrounding fire safety and the reality that wildfires don’t only happen in the mountains. Sitting at the base of the foothills, our community could face a similar catastrophe. As such, our team wanted to share helpful fire prevention measures for your home and for your community.

H2-OHH YEAH
March 22nd, 2021 officially marks the United Nations World Water Day. This year the focus is on the value of water, specifically what water means to each of us as humans that inhabit this beautiful planet of ours. So what a better way to not only talk about how important water is in the home, but how incredibly fortunate we are to live in this beautiful state. Colorado happens to be a headwater state and the origin of four major river basins, which supply water to seventeen downstream states and two countries. Now that’s worth recognizing!
