Spring Lane Master Bedroom and Bath

Tiek Built Homes — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 20:59:30 +0000

The Master Bedroom was another addition to the house on the very opposite end of the house from the Family Room. It isn’t a huge bedroom but has plenty of light and character.
A few great finishing touches by Caitlin. Go here for more about the interior design work.Remember this sneak peak of the Master Bathroom.

The homeowner wanted a little something extra to make the master closet more interesting. She and Caitlin picked this wallpaper and wallpaper for the laundry room. I’m a huge fan of wallpaper now especially when used in an otherwise boring space.

Spring Lane Family Room

Tiek Built Homes — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 04:37:04 +0000

The Family Room was a 350 square foot addition to the house and one of my favorite places with it’s all around windows. The original house had shallow sloping ceiling throughout the house so we wanted carry that into the new spaces with some modern touches, like 10 foot ceilings. To keep the room from feeling too big we added a cap molding, making the room feeling more cozy. I’m not a fan of the “super-sized” family rooms because a lot of character and warmth are lost in the vastness.

We also wanted the keep the family room more casual. Here, living room, has a lot more detail.

Spring Lane Kitchen

Tiek Built Homes — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 04:16:22 +0000

This kitchen was a lot of fun. It started out as one of those large oversized and never used 60′s living room. We wanted to squeeze a kitchen and a eating/dinning area in it. This left us with a snug 13′x14′ space so layout was crucial. By positioning the kitchen adjacent to the family room and dining space with large openings separating the space the kitchen doesn’t feel small at all.

The cabinetry was done by Benjamin Blackwelder Cabinetry, of course. The color on the cabinets is Dune White BM and the walls Healing Aloe BM. The homeowner wanted to use this unique pattern for the tile. It was easy to find at the tile store but super pricey. I did some research and found these on Overstock.com for a fraction of the price.

I wanted the island to feel more like a piece of furniture than a cabinet. I did this by designing legs on the four corners and eliminating the toe-kick. The gray color for the island is Ocean Floor by Martha Stewart. I think we will be seeing more and more cabinets in this gray color.

Favorite shot. Homes have lost their way in establishing space separation with an open airy feeling. It seems like the more open the better has become the rule of thumb. It’s difficult to capture architectural interest, character, and a feeling of warmth in a space that feels like a cultural hall. Studies show people generally feel overwhelmed, insignificant, and even small (literally) in a spaces like this. I like to think of a home like a good book. It captures your attention from the beginning, interesting details and developments reveal themselves as you read on, and you can’t put it down till the end. Not like a book where you open it up and can tell the ending right from the beginning so you are bored and move on.

Spring Lane Laundry Room

Tiek Built Homes — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 20:35:27 +0000

The laundry room was one of the few rooms that stayed in the exact location and size. Just a few new appliances, cabinets, one inch hex tile, and great wallpaper (wallpaper chosen by Caitlin and the homeowner).

Spring Lane Swing Day Bed

Tiek Built Homes — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 15:52:19 +0000

I’ve had my eye on doing a swing like this since I saw this photo:
What could be better than a swing a family could all sit on or one person can lay back and read on a lazy day. There are not many places where you can buy a swing like this and they usually sell for quite a bit. Even though we already had too much on our plate to complete before the open house we still made the swing a priority. We’re pretty excited with how it turned out:
Caitlin had some custom pieces made for the swing making it super comfortable to hang out on. However, we took off the pillows to show the details.
If you are at all interested in ordering a swing like this one, please post a comment or send us an email. We are considering producing more of these if there’s a demand. They would come in any of the following possible finishes: white, expresso, or pickled beach wood (show above). Prices would start at $1600.

Spring Lane Powder Bath

Tiek Built Homes — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 20:48:35 +0000

I really wanted too do something different in the powder bathroom. Unlike the commonly used bathrooms, the powder bath doesn’t generally need a lot of storage so it’s fun to do a piece that is a statement. Here are a few inspiration pictures:Although it’s simple look, we found that they were really expensive to buy ready made so I decided to take on this project to build my own. I found the raw materials and was able to custom fit the piece for our space. Final product (photos by Meikel Reece):

Spring Lane Entry, Mudroom and Hallways

Tiek Built Homes — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 04:23:32 +0000

When I first met the homeowners on the job I pulled up and walked around the entire house. The front didn’t have an entrance. There where two doors one located on each side of the building. I went to the door that looked bigger thinking that should be the front. Luckily the homeowners walked outside to help me find the way. The first thing they said was, “Yeah, our house is awkward.” I told them, I could fix that.

The paint color in the entry and through the hallways is Pale Silver from Restoration Hardware. The light fixture is from Pottery Barn and the corbel details from from Restoration Hardware.And this was the awkward “front” door before the remodel. It was actually located where the dining room window is now on the back side of the house. Mudroom interior.This was the before interior and exterior. And for the exterior mudroom door, I got my inspiration from a sweet Newport Beach house that we passed everyday on the beach. I totally geeked out and took a bunch of pictures so I might be able to reference it if we built something similar. Ok, so I pretty much copied it exactly the same. It still took some time and thought to make sure it scaled appropriately, and we used corbels instead to give it a more Cape Cod feel. I like how it turned out, it has a more casual feel than the front entry to the house yet it still feels like an entry. With the homeowners using this door most of the time, I didn’t want them to feel like they were always entering in the back door.

Spring Lane Living Room

Tiek Built Homes — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 23:52:39 +0000

We are so excited to have lots of beautiful pictures from the very talented Meikel Reece. So many pictures I could hardly decide where to start, but I just had to start with one of my favorite features of the house. The Greek key fireplace. This living room isn’t just a place for the Home Teachers with it’s bright open windows and perfect window seat.

The paint color in this room is Paladian Blue from Benjamin Moore at 75%. And we also used it in one of my favorite kitchens.

Also I’ve just added a Follow Us on our sidebar so be sure to sign up so you’ll be first to know as we post more pictures. And Caitlin will be posting lots more pictures of all the details in this room.

Open House Success!

Tiek Built Homes — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 17:38:15 +0000

Thank you everyone who attended our Open House Saturday! It was so much fun showing off our latest project. And we sincerely apologize to anyone who didn’t receive the response back after RSVPing. We realized on Saturday that we should have warned everyone to check their Spam.

Special thanks to Caitlin Creer for beautifully furnishing the entire house with such short notice. To Meikel Reece for taking incredible pictures that capture what we love so much about this house. To all our subs and employees for putting in long hours to make everything perfect. And most especially, thanks to the gracious homeowners for allowing us to remodel their house and then letting us bring lots of people into their new home.

We will be posting lots of pictures in the next couple of weeks so be sure to check back for more information about each room… including paint colors.
