Twin Lakes Waterfront Remodel
After five years in their Lake Forest home, Stacey and David were eager to get to work on the kitchen.
Bathroom remodeling is a hot trend, especially in Naperville, Illinois. Research shows that, over a lifetime, the average American spends more than two years in the bathroom. But even though it’s one of the most often used rooms in your home, when was the last time you really took the time to look at your bathroom? Consider your master bathroom, for example. Is it spacious enough, or is it cramped? Does your storage meet your needs, or do you have items that have no place to go? Are the finishes and fixtures reflective of your current tastes and preferences? And how does it make you feel — relaxed and calm, or anxious and ready to quickly leave?
After taking a critical look at your ensuite bathroom, head into your powder room or guest bathroom. How does it compare to the rest of your home? Do guests have everything they need? Does the layout of the sink, tub, shower, and toilet make the best use of the space? Do you have ample storage for towels, soaps, toilet paper, and other bathroom necessities — or do those items have to live elsewhere in the house, creating an inconvenience?
Bathroom renovations are the second most popular remodeling job — only kitchen renovations are more popular. And that’s not surprising; remodeling your bathroom can not only positively impact your family and guests’ enjoyment of your home, but it can also boost its value. Improvements like a new vanity, heated floors, and beautiful lighting can often increase your asking price when it’s time to sell your home.

Every component of this 6,300 SF home, set on ten acres of rolling land, was planned to marry the interior and exterior with the site itself.
The walls and structure were damaged by smoke and water from fire hoses, so the home needed to be fully gutted. The Pickell remodeling team worked with the family to redefine the layout to suit the way the homeowners live today.
Now that the work is complete, the sun room has become his kids’ favorite place to sit and study. Because the original exterior doors are still in place, the room can be sealed off or opened up into the family room.
At the first meeting with Orren Pickell Building Group, the client outlined a simple basement remodel with a workout area and a place for the children to play. In subsequent meetings, however, as the family began to explore new possibilities, the scope of the project grew.
Sometimes, the only thing harder than living with an out-of-date kitchen is contemplating the remodeling process. Fortunately, the Pickell Rapid Remodel program made it easy for this client to get her head around costs and timing, and have a new kitchen installed within weeks of working out the design.
This Glenview, Illinois home was ready for a makeover. Bringing the kitchen and master bath up-to-date gave the whole house a fresh perspective.
Set amid more than an acre of green space in Lake Forest, this stunning custom home achieves a level of warmth and intimacy one might be surprised to find in a 4,500 s.f. property.
Just wanted to let you guys know that the cabinets have started going in and OMG we love them!! Krista, I believe you said at some point that the old cabinets would be no comparison to our new ones and honestly that is an understatement! I mean the kitchen is still partly undone . .…
