Chicago Gold Coast Master Bath Remodel Wins Three Awards
Perfectly built into to match the 1879 historic home’s character, this bath remodel transformed a small space into a lavish and functional master suite. A modified floor plan borrowed space from an adjoining bedroom and closet to make room for new amenities. His and hers identical vanities line the walls of the entrance and lead into a marble detailed bathing area.
1895 Hinsdale Coach House Kitchen Renovation Wins Two Awards
This kitchen is in a unique home, which was originally built as a carriage coach house for a large adjacent estate. After raising two children in the house and becoming empty nesters, the homeowners wanted to update the kitchen for entertaining, something they had wanted to do for years.
Hinsdale “Toy” Kitchen Go Adulting and Wins Second Place Medium Kitchen
The clients loved their neighborhood and home, but the kitchen did not work for their lifestyle. The existing kitchen was closed off from the rest of the main level, and there were only a few tiny cabinets. The homeowner called it a “toy” kitchen. Connecting the kitchen to the dining room was also a priority.
Naperville Home Remodel Resizes and Wins Best Large Kitchen Before and After
In the early 1980s, the homeowners built the home and raised their three children there. As empty nesters, they wanted the space to feel warm and cozy for the two of them, but also welcoming when their children and grandchildren visited.
Chicago Brownstone Home Renovation Wins Second Place Large Kitchen Award
This beautiful brownstone is in the city on a double wide lot. With high ceilings, loads of natural light, and plenty of character, it lacked for nothing - except a functional kitchen. Closed off from the rest of the living space, the kitchen was cramped and outdated.
Hinsdale Master Bath Remodel Wins Third Place Large Bathroom
When the clients moved into the home, built in the 1980s, they knew from the start the master bathroom desperately needed remodeled.
St. Charles Small Master Bath Gets Reimagined and Wins Second Place Large Bathroom
A once cramped master bath floor plan expanded to create a multifunctional master spa suite. Borrowing space from an adjoining bedroom closet to create room for the freestanding tub, the commode and shower were combined into one space, and a half wall was designed to brighten and open up the steam shower.
Continually recognized for artistic design excellence, the Drury Design team has been honored with over 80 design industry awards, including Trend Magazine’s Top 50 American Kitchens, KBDN’s Top 50 Innovators, Best of Houzz, American Society of Interior Design (ASID) and National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) Best of Show.
