From Mid-Century to Modern Marvel: A Stunning 1960's Ranch Transformation
Elm Grove, WI 53122
Alair Homes Milwaukee

What was once a tired and run-down 1960s ranch has been completely transformed into a modern masterpiece, perfect for multi-generational living. The original roof was completely replaced, allowing for dramatic vaulted ceilings throughout and a stunning barrel-ceiling entry that creates a grand and welcoming first impression. A brand-new addition houses a light-filled, state-of-the-art kitchen designed for gathering and entertaining. The primary bathroom was reimagined as a luxurious, barrier-free space for comfort and accessibility. Downstairs, the fully finished lower level offers a dedicated area for children and grandchildren to relax and play. While every interior detail has been updated, original stone exterior elements were thoughtfully retained, blending character and modern design. This once-dark and cold space is now a warm, inviting home built for connection and longevity.

The coat closet and pantry were replaced with full-height utility cabinets. The living room was refreshed with a newly tiled fireplace, mantle, and, painted walls to match the rest of the first floor. Additionally, the powder room received stylish upgrades.

First Floor Remodel Interior_848 Willow Dr-2
Everyday Elegance
Delafield, WI 53018
GMH Construction, Inc.

This elegant first-floor remodel seamlessly blends a modern color palette with timeless design. The primary objective was to enhance the kitchen’s functionality for both everyday use and large gatherings while creating a more open and inviting atmosphere. As with every remodel, the goal was to ensure that the new design felt as though it had always been a part of the home.

Upon entering, guests are welcomed by a grand staircase featuring newly modernized railings and balusters. Throughout the main level, refinished hardwood floors create a cohesive and sophisticated foundation that leads into the heart of the home—the kitchen.

Designed for both practicality and aesthetics, the kitchen features a spacious island that serves as the primary workspace while providing seating for seven. Separating the cooking area from the dining space enhances functionality, allowing for effortless meal preparation and entertaining. Opposite the island, a striking range wall is adorned with marble tile extending to the high ceilings. The refrigerator is flanked by dual pantry cabinets, offering ample storage, while a newly designed beverage bar replaces the former pantry, adding both convenience and style.

Adjacent to the kitchen, a refreshed powder room and a reimagined laundry room near the garage entrance provide a perfect transition for a busy household. Every detail of this remodel was thoughtfully curated to enhance the home’s flow, functionality, and aesthetic appeal.

New Construction Home1
A vintage modern eclectic design with specialty carpentry features installed by MKE Design Build's in-house carpenters with the highest level of craftsmanship.
Milwaukee, WI 53221
MKE Design Build

This project features the first-floor buildout of a new construction home where modern design meets vintage eclectic style. Decorative carpentry and custom cabinetry was installed by MKE Design Build's in-house carpenters with the highest level of craftsmanship. This first-floor buildout features a large kitchen island that truly is the centerpiece of this home with sightlines into the living, dining and front entrance to accomplish this family's love for entertaining and doing life together. The fireplace is the focal point of the living room with arched niches flanking the stunning fireplace surround. The bright and bold half bathroom is adorned with elegant fixtures. Custom-paneled wall and pocket door can separate the home office space from the dining room for privacy while maintaining design continuity.

A classic 1940s Wauwatosa home, thoughtfully refreshed with historic charm—featuring a built-in stove niche, a cozy corner banquette, and a functional mudroom—all designed to feel both timeless and fresh while working within the existing footprint.
Wauwatosa WI 53226
Refined Renovations

This 1940 Cape Cod home was creatively redesigned to better serve the rhythm of a young family’s everyday life. With three kids, two dogs, and a passion for cooking, the original layout no longer worked—so the family came to us, hoping for more connection, more light, and a floor plan that better fit their lifestyle. Refined Renovations reimagined the kitchen, dining room, and mudroom within the original footprint to create a welcoming space that flows beautifully and feels just right for the way this family lives.

We transformed these key areas into a cohesive, functional whole. The design honors the home’s historic charm while embracing the ease of modern life. Soft curves—echoing the original arched doorway—carry a sense of warmth and continuity throughout, while smart storage now supports everything from backpacks to baking trays. A generous island, built-in banquette, and custom alcove at the range elevate everyday routines.

The result is more than a remodel—it’s a space that feels like it’s always belonged, where history and home life meet with beauty and intention. A space that breathes easier, lives brighter, and tells a story this family will keep writing for years to come.
