CUPBOARDS: Naperville-Based Firm Can Help
Update Interiors and Exteriors
The motivation to update a home isn't only cosmetic. There are many home renovations that will improve the efficiency of the home and decrease maintenance. Stephanie Wiott, Cupboards Chicago owner, recently helped a Naperville homeowner makeover both the interior and exterior of the home with the help of her experienced design team.
The Naperville remodel included replacing worn siding with Hardie Board, a fiber cement product that offers the look of cedar siding without the maintenance. The materials are created specifically to withstand the fluctuations in the Midwest climate. The material is non-combustible and viewed as being green and sustainable by industry professionals. The outdated brick facing on the home was replaced with stone that provides a more modern look. Four carefully placed new windows bring natural light into the home.
Like all older homes, the interior was also ready for major change. The kitchen was updated with new cabinets, energy star appliances and durable counters. By removing a wall between the kitchen and family room, designers were able to add an innovative island to the kitchen for needed storage and counter space. The home's bathrooms received makeovers as outdated box-like vanities were replaced with attractive furniture-quality pieces. A seldom used bath tub in the master bathroom was removed to make room for a roomy, modern shower. The fixtures in the bathrooms are now more energy efficient as well as stylish.
Whether it is remodeling a room or building a dream house, Cupboards Chicago offers an experienced staff ready to tackle the project with innovative, efficient designs that fit the homeowner's style and budget. Cupboards Chicago, 630-267-0440, www.cupboardsltd.com
