MyHome Design + Remodeling collaborated with the new owner of a Upper West Side apartment to create a space that encompassed all of the owner's design dreams and personal creativity.
NEW YORK, June 21, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- An Upper West Side resident recently completed work on a magazine-worthy renovation project at 420 Riverside Drive in Manhattan. The homeowner had been saving for years for her dream apartment, and upon finally finding it, she hired MyHome Design + Remodeling to create everything exactly how she wanted.
In order to successfully design the desired space, the homeowner and the MyHome team worked together using her existing apartment as inspiration for her new dream home. The inspiration space housed beautiful pieces of furniture and art collected by the homeowner and her husband over the years. Remodeling consultants collaborated with the homeowner on colors based on custom tile, the furniture, and art.
Because of the apartment's location in a beautiful pre-war building, it was important to the homeowner and design team to keep as many of the original elements as possible. Through a unique remodeling process featuring renovation technology programs, the apartment design came to life. Using Chief Architect, a state-of-the-art design program, MyHome was able to create renderings for the homeowner during the planning phase showing what the finished home would look like at the end of the remodeling process.
In addition to the unique custom tile in several of the remodeled rooms, Designer Justin Schlenger used a preferred fixture brand, Brizo, in a Luxe Steel finish. Cambria Countertops were installed in the kitchen in the color "Carrick" with a matte finish, which is a cool gray tone. This complemented the upper cabinets, which are solid maple doors with a soft Elk Stain, and the lower cabinets, where Schlenger chose Sherwin Williams Georgian Revival Blue. The homeowner allowed the MyHome team to select the appliances, which were all stainless GE appliances.
The highlight of the new open kitchen floor plan at 420 Riverside Drive was a door added to the adjacent dining room wall for entry into an office and second bedroom. Schlenger ordered a reclaimed wood barn door with matte black hinges from Rustica Hardware. The door frame was painted in the Sherwin Williams Georgian Revival Blue to match the lower kitchen cabinetry and tie the two rooms together.
Every remodeling project comes with its challenges. In this case, it was the flooring refinish. The homeowner wanted to keep the existing flooring, and the construction team found out there were two levels of flooring after removing one of the walls. Furthermore, the flooring was going in a different direction in the room the walls came down in. Schlenger came up with a solution to remove the flooring from the one room and replace it, so all the flooring went in the same direction, and also added a low wood saddle to make up for the height transition.
After completing this Upper West Side apartment remodel, the entire space featured a much more open floor plan along with bright and colorful finishes. The homeowner was beyond thrilled with the outcome.
"While writing my reviews I almost got a little teary thinking about what we did and what a fantastic experience it truly was. We really created a space from something that had potential to something quite remarkable. I often look around and can't believe it. I had some anxious moments in the process, but mostly I found it interesting to do and exciting to see it all unfold."
