3 Before-and-After Home Remodeling Ideas to Spruce Up Your Space!

Post date March 17, 2022

Even though we are happy with the current layout, we sometimes feel the urge for a little more style and love on our premise- Right? For example, your dining space seems to be messy. Or the kitchen island is no more in use now, and so on. If you want to jazz up your space, go for home remodeling ideas! And we are here to tell you HOW.

Smart Home Remodeling Ideas to Jazz Up Your Space Like Never

Renovation is the easiest way to bring a drastic change in a boring home layout. All you need is to follow our following tips and explore which one is perfect for your space. Have a look:

Kitchen storage

Before: So, the current storage design in your cooking space is the wall cabinets over the cooktop! Of course, it allows you enough space and all the items in your arm’s reach, but too common in most kitchens these days- Isn’t it? Also, cabinet designs are less attractive while casting shadows over your countertop, which may interrupt work.

After: We, MDM Custom Remodeling Inc, recommend open shelves by replacing the current wall cabinets. It not only eliminates the dark and heavy look but makes the room feel lighter and brighter, like never before!

Accent walls

Before: The lurid red of your living room accent wall makes the ceiling seem lower than it is. Furthermore, the living space doesn’t feel to be unique and seems unappealing, too.

After: Instead, you can go for the grid-lines on the accent walls and match the ceiling color to encourage your eyes to view the room higher than it actually is. Also, you can hang a light-shaded chandelier to bring the focus to the ceiling.

What’s about the closet?

Before: A half-sized closet was enough for you when you lived alone. But with a growing family, you may have realized the need for a larger closet. However, if your wardrobe is fixed in walls from all three sides, that may be a problem to extend it. After all, you can’t just move the wall!

After: You can use the wall with another bedroom and let the divider wall cut the large closet in half, like two small wardrobes. One half is in your bedroom, and the other shares the other side of the wall.

Is Garage Conversion Into a Stunning Kitchen Possible?

Post author By Moshe Mike MDM
Post date March 16, 2022

While having an unused garage, converting it into usable space can be the best thing to increase your square footage or utilize excess room instead of wasting it. And when it comes to the kitchen, the garage is large enough to turn it into a stunning cooking space. Of course, you may have started looking into different home improvement magazines or Pinterest for garage conversion kitchen ideas. But a few things you need to do before that, and we are here to tell you what!

What to Keep in Mind for Garage Conversion Into a Kitchen

Of course, while turning your old garage into a cooking space, you can save dollars for the foundation and walls as everything you have already. However, we, MDM Custom Remodeling Inc, suggest taking a little time and doing the following to ensure a successful garage conversion kitchen. Such as:

Explain about the old kitchen

Before the project kicks off, make sure you sit with our builders and remodeling contractors over a coffee to share about your old cooking space. It will help them ideate what type of design you expect for a new one.

For example, suppose you have an old-fashioned home. And yet, the kitchen is here just like a small extension at the back of the house with old appliances and dark wall tiles, which make the room more cramped and dark. Hence, you may be looking forward this time to an open kitchen with an abundance of natural light access.

Have a clear idea of the new room!

Do you like a modern-style kitchen with clean decor or some contemporary style to have a timeless layout? If you love cooking but have no time to organize it often, you would love a design that can help you leave the cooking space as clutter-free as possible.

In that case, you should have great storage in the kitchen to keep the essentials. So, have a clear idea of which type of layout you exactly desire to make the room functional and stylish.

Talk about your favorite feature!

Be open with us and unfold your secret desire about the feature you want to include in the garage conversion kitchen. For instance, it can be folding doors on the entire wall that opens to the garden or knocking down the wall between the old kitchen and garage (if adjacent) and creating a family cooking space with dining.

Kitchen Remodeling Guide for Perfect Chimney Setup Ideas!

The kitchen chimney is an inseparable part of your cooking space, especially preparing meals a lot at home. But not every chimney design is perfect for your room layout. Yet, it may be a little overwhelming for you to choose the right one and ideate how to use it. Don’t worry! With a simple consultation with us regarding kitchen remodeling, you can have the solution you seek and make an informed decision.

Kitchen Remodeling Ideas to Set Up a Perfect Chimney

While planning a modular kitchen, a kitchen chimney can be the best addition you can make. It leaves the indoor air of your cooking space breathable and fresh! But the design you choose for your chimney should match the overall layout and the size of your kitchen.

We have broken down a few kitchen chimney design ideas here to guide you with the choice. Such as:

Wall-mounted chimneys

Are you blessed with a tiny cooking space? Then, it may be a concern for you to decide on a chimney that can make your kitchen functional while saving space, too. In that case, you can go for a wall-mounted chimney design to take up less usable space for installation. You can affix it to the wall near the stove. In fact, its hood comes in different shapes that allow you to choose the one that fits your space.

Island chimneys

It’s particularly for the kitchens having stoves embedded in the island and false ceiling overhead. If you have a similar layout in your cooking space, we, MDM Custom Remodeling Inc, suggest island chimneys that will come in the center of the room. And the false ceiling allows you to hide the ducts and electrical wiring parts.

Built-in chimneys

When your kitchen is a little bit tight, this chimney design is here to the rescue! Unlike the wall-mounted chimney, you can fix it on the wall, but it doesn’t adhere to the surface. Instead, the chimney goes into the paneling! The built-in chimney is not only space-saving but makes your cooking space look modern.

Corner chimneys

This one is a smart choice for a smaller cooking space to avoid corner space wasted! You can set up the corner chimney just above the stove countertop and move it out of the way.

So, what do you think- which kitchen chimney is perfect for your cooking space? Let us know! Also, you can look over Yelp for an insight into our previous kitchen remodeling projects.

Shower Door Designs to Embrace for Bathroom Remodeling!

Post date March 11, 2022

Have you got tired of seeing and using your dull outdated shower room? Even while embarking on a renovation but you are on the edge of budget, bathroom remodeling may seem to be a dream to you- Right? But we say NO! A simple shower door replacement can bring an unexpected change in functionality and overall curb appeal to your bathroom.

Best Shower Door Styles to Check Out for Bathroom Remodeling

Of course, endless choices are available for glass shower enclosures, especially the doors that can make you feel a little overwhelmed while shopping. Don’t worry! We are here to help you, as some decisions of shower door depend on your style preferences like which type of glass you want- etched, fogged, or clear.

Also, consider after which door style you are such as:

Pivot doors

Whether you have a small bathroom or a larger one, a pivot shower door is a perfect match for any space. It swings around 180° for its pivot hinge, which allows you to open it widely out or in as you require. In fact, you can have two options here- either you can go for the pivot door attached hinge on one side that swings inside and outside or the center-mounted ones to have the revolving shower door. And if you have determined to get pivot shower doors in your bathroom, look for an ultra-modern curved glass shower door.

Steam doors

Are you opting for floor-to-ceiling shower doors? Then, we, MDM Custom Remodeling Inc, recommend a steam shower door. The design allows a shower to double, just seeming like a steam room. The glass panels in the shower doors extend to the ceiling from the floor to hold the steam tight. Most steam shower doors come with solid glass panels and hinge with built-in air-tight seals and moveable panels above the door used as vents.

Bypass doors

In short, these are sliding doors that you can handle, just like your patio doors. Two sliding doors remain attached to the shower enclosure and slide on the tracks or move by mechanical rollers. The bypass door is perfect for the bathroom having stand-alone showers or the combined bathtub-shower configurations. Also, if you are blessed with a small shower room, you can make efficient use even of the tiny room with this sliding door installation because it doesn’t swing out!

Are you one of those homeowners who desire to be a chef and spend most of their time in the kitchen to explore new dishes? Then, you may know that the style of your cooking space is equally essential as the functionality- Right? And that you can start with your kitchen walls! If you find the inspirations from Pinterest or magazine too overwhelming to choose from, follow today’s kitchen remodeling ideas on its wall decor.

Interested? Let’s get started!

Kitchen Remodeling Hacks to Decor the Walls Around Cooking Space

To be honest, the decor ideas for kitchen walls are limitless, and after thorough research, we have picked some of the best for you. Let’s start with the most common ones you often overlook or ignore! Such as:

Wall art to display!

From the living room to the bedroom to hallways- You may have an amazing collection of artwork everywhere. But you never think of your cooking space as the primary place to display such wall art- Isn’t it? But we, MDM Custom Remodeling Inc., suggest doing so that seems to be a thought out of the frame!

Once you decide to get artwork for your kitchen walls, go for something based on the cooking, baking, or dining theme. For instance, vintage cookbook pictures can bring a more DIY feel to your cooking space.

Experiment with wall hangings:

If you find some space on the wall empty and prefer filling it, wall hangings can be best in addition to the artwork. Pick antique utensils but some oversized ones with food designs or bold-colored cookware for an exceptional choice!

Use of shelving!

Open shelves are another option for kitchen wall decor while blessed with small cooking space! Look for some decorated low-profile shelves with supplies or accents to make the space look more attractive and elegant. Besides, you can add some bold hues to the shelves to draw attention!

Fonts and colors!

Do you want something trendy for your kitchen walls? Go for oversized and large letters in unique fonts and colors! For example, these letters can represent the initials of your name. These thin or sturdy metal letters are lightweight to hang on the walls of your cooking space and create visual impact.

Also, for an artistic theme, you can choose flora and fauna with fruit and vegetables to have a distinct art style yet timeless and modern! Do you like these kitchen remodeling ideas? Leave your feedback on Yelp! Stay in touch!

Post date March 9, 2022

Picture this: You have just discovered that you need some extra lying space at home. But as you are on the edge of your budget, you can afford to buy a new one. In that case, an ADU garage conversion may be the best alternative to look for to increase extra square footage while staying within your budgetary boundary.

But do you know how much an ADU can cost? If NO, you may find today’s blog quite relatable and helpful. Let us guide you regarding this!

How Much Do You Need to Pay for an ADU Garage Conversion?

Well, having Accessory Dwelling Units by converting your garage is a great idea to have sufficient space to create a guest room or separate bedroom. But before you sit with us, MDM Custom Remodeling Inc, to design your ADU, we suggest taking a deeper insight into its specifications, like attached or detached ADU garage conversion and its overall expenses. Let’s get into it:

ADU conversion of existing garage:

Three different ADU types are available, Attached ADU, Detached ADU, and Garage conversion. For the first two, you need new construction while you require nothing but a renovation on the existing garage you have.

That’s why ADU garage conversion comes most affordable among all, especially while having easy access to its sewer system, and the position of the garage is at the front of your premise. All we need is to reframe the ceiling, add wall insulation, and do electrical upgrades.

Hence, you can estimate the construction costs for a good-quality garage conversion around $100,000 – $120,000. In the budget, you can expect the outlay for pre-construction expenses somewhere between $15,000 to $19,000. Make sure you get all your construction documents and plan approved and permitted. Or you can let our remodeling contractors handle this. The papers should include:

Architectural site plan and floor plan
Energy calculation
Electrical plan and wiring
Engineering plans for ceiling framing, roof, and walls

So, have you found the information helpful? Leave your feedback on Yelp and let us know if you want an ADU garage conversion. You can look over our previous projects to idea an ADU garage conversion design, like what you can add or not. Stay connected!

Galley Kitchen Makeover to Present Your Lady on Women’s Day!

Post author By Moshe Mike MDM
Post date March 8, 2022

Hey, it’s International Women’s Day and the best chance you have to present something special to your lady love! For example, a kitchen makeover can be the best gift for her, especially if it\’s a galley one. Though you may have created the galley kitchen to have an efficient and space-saving cooking space, it’s a little cramped. Renovating it may allow her to move and prepare meals more comfortably than ever. After all, she deserves to get everything best!

Smart Ways to Embrace for a Galley Kitchen Makeover

As stated, the galley kitchen comes with a log space but is narrow, as well. You will find the cabinets here lined in a hallway with the appliances and countertops. In most LA old homes, we have found this kitchen design that saves space.

But the modern homeowners look for a little bigger, and if your lady love wishes the same, Women’s Day is the perfect excuse to present here that! With a little makeover, you can make the galley kitchen feel more open and bigger, like:

Add windows to let it bright!

It’s the first thing that we, MDM Custom Remodeling Inc, recommend is adding the windows to the galley kitchen. You don’t have to convert it into an open kitchen. Regardless of the layout, you can install windows if your cooking doesn’t have that yet. Make sure you add the depth to have additional natural light access to the space that changes the entire feel.

Have sleek cabinetry:

In a narrow space, conventional cabinets may make the room more cramped! Instead, look for cabinetry designs with clean lines and sleekness with depth, like pull bars or glass-front cabinets. Don’t go for many ornate ones! In fact, if your wife loves something bolder style, covert the cabinets into open shelves. But make sure she keeps it tidy!

Add a fresh coat of paint!

A bright shade can be a perfect alternative to the galley kitchen makeover to make your cooking space feel brighter and bigger. You can go for some neutral colors for the walls to bring a spacious feel to the kitchen instantly. We suggest light gray for a modern look than beige or white!

Lastly, if you don’t think that a galley kitchen is for you, go for a complete makeover and turn it into an open kitchen. On Yelp, you can see our previous project open kitchens. Stay connected!

4 Home Remodeling Ideas to Amp Up Your Fifth Wall- the Ceiling!

Post date March 7, 2022

Can you do a favor and look at your ceiling? You often leave this fifth wall of your rooms unnoticed or overlooked, which leaves a huge effect on the overall curb appeal of your home. That’s why while planning a home remodeling, take a glance at your ceilings and pick any of our ideas to make it pop! Have a look!

Home Remodeling Hacks to Spruce Up Your Ceiling

The easiest way to give your room a new and stunning look is to add refreshment to the fifth wall! Here, we have mentioned a few ideas to jazz up your ceiling during a home remodeling. Let’s get into it:

Add beams or panels:

While desiring to bring a rustic and fresh-style look to your living space or kitchen, wood beams or panels, in fact, both are great to highlight that rustic appeal! And we, MDM Custom Remodeling Inc., suggest if you can leave the panels or beams unpainted, you can feel the vibe more.

Go for a wallpaper!

Do you want to bring an incredible and trendy style to your ceiling design? Well, you don’t have to necessarily go for a fresh coat of paint while on the edge of budget. In that case, you can think of embracing wallpaper and changing the color scheme you have right now. Pick something bold and bright with geometric shapes and patterns to create an accent wall and make a statement!

What’s about the drapes?

If you want to create a romantic and soft look in your bedroom or master suites, draping fabric is something you won\’t regret! Also, if you prefer it for your living space to give the room a theater-like charm or a media room, go for some darker fabric style.

Ceiling medallions!

This one can be a perfect alternative for a little more elegant look in your living space or music room! You can select any from a range of shapes and designs and give a fresh coat of paint to your ceiling whatever you like, such as light earthy pinks, yellows, greens, and dark green and greyish hues. Also, you can bring the feeling of elegance to the room by adding an accent light in a pattern to have full coverage.

So, which one do you think is perfect for your ceiling? Let us know! In fact, you can leave your feedback on Yelp and check the comments of our previous clients as well. Stay connected!

Kitchen Remodeling Ideas to Utilize the Upper Cabinet Space!

Post author By Moshe Mike MDM
Post date March 5, 2022

So, you have suddenly discovered extra storage needs in your cooking space. Well, even though you have pull-out cabinets, the requirements and lifestyle keep changing. And that may enhance your necessity for additional storage. Have you ever looked over or thought of using the room over the kitchen cabinets? With our kitchen remodeling ideas, you can utilize the area as a storage space or something new decor.

How to Use the Space Above Cabinets With Kitchen Remodeling

To be honest, we have done so many kitchen renovations in Los Angeles for years. But in most cases, we have found homeowners to avoid or overlook the space above the kitchen cabinets while looking for extra space for storage. We, MDM Custom Remodeling Inc, have come here with a few pieces of advice to utilize the additional upper cabinet space. Let’s get into it:

Smart storage:

Let’s rethink your kitchen storage entirely! You can use the upper cabinet space without compromising the layout or style of your cooking area. Don’t stash the loose pantry items above the space of your kitchen cabinets! Instead, bring matching bins or baskets to store those stuff. Or you can fill it with small wine racks to have a better collection only if you have an air conditioner. Otherwise, we don’t recommend the latter because it can waste a good wine!

A small remodel:

Admit it or not, for many, that upper cabinet space is an annoyance! And if that bothers you every time you take a glance at it, it’s time to bring some changes, like a small renovation. For example, you can extend your current wall cabinets to the ceiling. It will allow you to double the storage space you have now! Besides, you can have more room below the cabinets as well.

Go for some artwork!

Maybe you haven’t ever thought of kitchen decor with artwork- Right? But while having the space above the cabinet, you should this time! For example, you can line up different adhesive wall art, small paintings, or stencils to fill the space with style. Also, keeping decorative vases or mugs with smiley faces that you don’t use is not a bad idea, though.
