Other Spaces

	AFTER Urbana Attic Remodel The original entrance to this attic was through a bedroom closet. To provide easier access to the space, now used as an entertainment room, a new set of stairs was built close to the bedroom door.
	AFTER Urbana Attic Remodel Skylights allow plenty of light into this once dark space. Cork flooring provides some environmentally-friendly acoustic dampening.
	BEFORE Urbana Attic Remodel Before the remodel the attic wasn't too inviting!

	AFTER Champaign Attic Remodel This attic was turned into a kid's playroom. New insulation and carpeting provide comfort.
	AFTER Champaign Attic Remodel At the far end of the attic playroom is a smaller room with a window box that can be used for storage or as a private space to curl up and read.
	BEFORE Champaign Attic Remodel Here is the attic before it became a playroom. The space isn't used much.
	AFTER Lower Level Remodel The cabinets and walls in this lower level were newly painted, and the linoleum was replaced with tile. The drop ceiling tiles were also replaced. With a bed, bookshelves, and closets at the far end, the room can easily accomodate guests.
	Champaign Study/Addition The sloping ceiling follows the original roofline on the second story of this addition. Custom windows allow light on three sides and a view to the back yard.
	AFTER Master Bedroom/Bumpout A new bump-out with windows opens up this once cramped bedroom. A two-story addition added a study to the master suite.
	Mudroom This mudroom provides a buffer between the kitchen and the back yard. On the left is a small bathroom, also tiled.
	Mudroom Windows and Bench New Praire designed and built the bench to fit under the windows. The slots underneath provide plenty of space for footwear, and the bench is polyurethaned for easier cleaning.
