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!

Renew Your Life? Renew Your Home
Picture your morning routine: You’re running late. Your kitchen is disorganized. You burn your breakfast. You rush out of the door but can’t locate your car keys…
From small changes like adding built-in storage to remodels that implement smart assistants, home improvements have the power to improve not only your home, but your quality of life.
Home is an extension of thy self in so many ways. It is our shrine - each item, handpicked, speaks of you in every way. It is where you can be 100% your authentic self. It is where the heart rests. And, your environment can greatly affect how you operate in the world. So, your home should be a place that recharges you emotionally and makes you feel happier living in it, not one that’s draining and overwhelming.
We all benefit from reevaluating ourselves and making meaningful improvements from time to time. Although pivotal moments may lead to a renewal process, renewal is not a singular event; it’s ongoing! The same is true for your home. As you evolve, so must your space to better suit your needs. And so, renewing your home will renew your life!
Remodeling Trends for 2023 You’ll Want to Steal
We’ve peered into our crystal ball and have seen home design trends for 2023. And let us tell you, the future looks BRIGHT! …and nature-inspired, sustainable and multi-functional. Are you ready for some fresh changes to your home? Get a first look at a few of the trends that will shape home design and remodeling in 2023. Let’s dive in, shall we?
Heart of the House: The Kitchen
If you’ve recently been out to your local Michaels or Hobby Lobby retail stores, you’ll notice several hanging signs that read, “The Kitchen is the Heart of the Home” - and there is a reason for that. Not only is the kitchen the space you spend several hours of your day in, it’s the part of the home that helps to sustain very necessary elements to life - food and water. In addition to crafting meals that nourish the entire family, most use the kitchen daily as a gathering place for conversation and bonding, finishing up homework, an end of day brief or to relax over a glass of wine. Whatever the case, the kitchen is the center of the home or shall we say, “The heart of the house.”
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.
4 Fabulous Perks to Remodeling Your Fireplace
You are racing through the sky at the speed of light, your 9 reindeer plow through the bitter cold air. You begin your descent to a home miles below because someone there made the nice list. Swinging your bundle of toys on your shoulder, you approach the fireplace. The fireplace has definitely seen better days. It’s got some cracks, it’s got some dust, and it’s pretty dated. The last time you saw a mantle with peach bricks and white wood, you gagged. It’s not that you’re a snob; you just see every fireplace in the world, so you have a refined palette. You pull your least requested toy; the Harry Potter Invisibility Cloak will do for these people. And it’s not that you’re petty. It’s that whoever owns this home had the audacity to make you crawl through that musty fireplace, and now your famous red suit has to go to the cleaners. This is the Christmas they deserve. You fly far, far away back to the North Pole, questioning if they deserve a nice list after that ghastly chimney... You may need to reevaluate your criteria.
Tub Time… Take Me Away
Between the biting cold of the outside world and the internal bustle that comes with the holiday seasons, we all need something nice to escape to. It’s time to immerse yourself in the glorious idea of a master bathroom remodel. Picture it with us: It’s the day after Thanksgiving, the family is gone, and the kids are griping about eating leftovers for the (*take a moment to gasp*) second night in a row. You’re feeling wiped out. What’s going to make that a little better? We think the answer could be found between a few candles... in a bubbly tub... with a glass of wine. And alright already, we’ll concede we’ve written about bathroom remodels and renovations a few times on our blog.
