OUR WORK | Ryder Homes LLC

A ROOM WITH A VIEW

What do you do when your 1990's home feels a little tired but you love your neighborhood? We turned the design upside down and did the unexpected. By flipping the entire layout of the Kitchen and installing an enormous French door, the new space now has a gorgeous view of the backyard and forest preserve beyond. We added a touch of bling and a bit of crystal creating a dream space with more storage and function than our Client thought possible. The entire house got a stately makeover with a sophisticated grey, navy and white color palette, refinished floors throughout, crown and panel moldings, and a new stair ballustrade. The results are simply stunning.

CHILDHOOD HOME, GROWN UP RENO

Our Client purchased her childhood home and gave it a top to bottom renovation. We reconfigured the the main living area and exposed existing brick and ceiling beams to give this reno a shabby chic look. The Kitchen got a completely new look with it's gorgeous cabinetry with inset doors. We incorporated a large island, professional appliances, sleek quartz counter tops and a few goodies like a prep sink and pot filler. We also added a new first floor Powder Room. The entire house had it's finishes updated - floors, lighting, paint and moldings, and even the furniture was refinished to complete this very grown up make over.

LUXURY SPA AT HOME

Our "Chef's Paradise" Client loved their Great Room/Kitchen renovation so much that they put us to work on their Master Suite. He likes a steam shower and she likes a soak in the tub. They both got their wish along with a heated tile floor and elegant built ins. The free standing tub features a heated backrest and is centered under the skylight for dreamy views. The steam shower has body sprays from all directions and LED lighting to set the mood. The soothing color scheme of taupe on taupe is only topped by the sky blue ceiling. All this plus the custom Master Closet built-ins makes this Master Suite feel like the best spa around.

CHEF'S PARADISE

Removing walls and opening up the dated 70's Kitchen was exactly what this space needed to become a chef's paradise. This space was upgraded top to bottom with new professional appliances, a convection steam oven, and two islands to ensure that entertaining was top notch. Hardwood floors were refinished in a rich custom color throughout to give this project a more expansive feel. Details like a vintage 1890's barn wood mantle, art glass chandeliers and hand painted tile in the newly added Wet Bar were just some of the luxe finishes incorporated into this Whole House Project.

UPDATED TIMELESS KITCHEN

This kitchen is a wonderful example of how to give an older home in a historic neighborhood an updated, yet timeless, look. We removed the 1960's cabinets and finishes and designed this gorgeous space that is now true to the home's character. It's got a great eat-in space for the young family and professional appliances that are a chef's dream. This "new" kitchen feels like it was always meant to be.
