Jacki's Dream Renovation

“My dream renovation would be an owner’s suite and en-suite bathroom wonderland. I love a space for me and look forward to the end of the day when I curl into bed to read a book or watch a movie. If I could make this space a comfy paradise, I’m not sure I would ever leave. I want a large bedroom with room for my newly upgraded king size bed. I would build a large walk-in closet (just for me) with lots of built-in storage and a designated place for shoes too. I’m imagining a little island in the middle of the closet and bins for organization. Large windows throughout the room for lots of natural light and maybe some glass doors that step out to my own balcony or porch. Fluffy rugs and luxurious bedding to top off the space! 

My en-suite bathroom, MOST importantly, would have a huge shower and give me the fanciest shower head(s) you can find. I’ve never been much of a bath person but in this dream bathroom, a large detached tub miiight just change my mind. A double vanity with modern fixtures, tile, and finishing touches throughout. I’d want to keep everything really light and bright. We all deserve our own little spa oasis!”

“If I could only pick one space in the house to renovate it would be the kitchen. This is where my family spends the most time cooking, entertaining, + winding down from our busy days. My must-haves include an island, wine fridge, and gas stove. The island to gather, the wine for me, and the gas stove for my husband who does all of our cooking. I love a white and bright kitchen with statement hardware and light fixtures. If you don't know, we are currently in the process of building and you can follow along at @constructiontocustom on Instagram to see this vision come to life!

If someone handed me a winning lotto ticket my next project would be adding a pool to the backyard. I would love to have a simple pool for the kids to spend their afternoons in surrounded by lush landscaping for a private feel. And hey, if I win the lotto go ahead and throw in an outdoor bar + kitchen!”

I love a great renovation and funnily enough, my husband and I are in the middle of our own home remodel right now. I could go on and on about my dream renovation, but I think our big must-haves right now are a huge Florida room and a beautiful backyard. We are currently working on enclosing a 300 sqft back patio and converting it into a beautiful and airy Florida room; It will have large, side-sliding windows perfect for letting in the summer breeze, a wet bar, and French doors that open up to our outdoor entertainment area.

Outside, we have a newly poured patio with a pergola above. Each post is wrapped with jasmine and I cannot wait until the jasmine is fully grown and intertwines with the beams above to create the perfect amount of shade. Beyond the patio, we have stepping stones that lead to our fire pit and we are looking forward to utilizing it more in the winter months. I’m picturing our family now; all of us sitting around the fire, roasting marshmallows and eating s’mores. While our entertainment area is perfect for adults, we have three children and we’re looking forward to making this a space they can also enjoy. After re-sodding the yard, we have already added a trampoline and we will soon add a play set and a tire swing.

Once our Florida room and backyard remodel are complete, we can’t wait to open up this space for our family and friends to come over and enjoy adult conversation while our children enjoy themselves nearby.

I have to be honest, I’m not sure I could pick just one place in my home to renovate! I love our home and we make it work for us! Without seeming unsatisfied, I will say that I wish I could spend more time outside. Our backyard is just large enough for our family of 6, fenced and backs up to a thicket of trees. When the wind blows you can hear the sound of those trees swishing around, it’s lovely. Sometimes when I’m working on my computer, I stop and look out the window into our backyard and wish I could just work out there all day. I would make our deck larger, add a bigger seating area, a separate section for our grill and smoker, and definitely include a bench swing. Living in Florida for many years has taught me that a screen around the outdoor entertainment area is key to minimize the leaves and debris that comes with our hurricane season. There’s something about breathing fresh air that improves your mood, if you haven’t been able to spend time outside this season, I encourage you to do so! Renovating your outdoor space not only allows you to work outside, like so many people do in 2021, but it also gives you, your family and friends a place to gather on cool spring nights!

Erica's Dream Renovation

It's really hard to pick just one dream renovation because my pinterest board proves I have a lot of home dreams BUT, if I haveee to choose I'm going with a backyard makeover. First and foremost, I would add an in-ground pool with a tanning ledge. I'd probably also add a pool heater so I don't have to stop the fun when we get those 3-4 cold months. Next up - an outdoor kitchen complete with a brick pizza oven (I'm drooling just thinking about all the good food we would make) and a covered space to add a big table for all the friends and family we would have over. I want string lights galore and maybe even a couple of palm trees to really make me feel like I'm in my very own paradise. I can't make the backyard alllllllll for me though, Theo hates all water so I would need a big grassy area for him to run, play, and sunbathe in the yard.

My favorite parts of a home are essentially the exterior (curb appeal), kitchen, bathroom, separate living, formal dining room and bar area for entertainment is a MUST. For the exterior, I enjoy pavers, palm trees for a true "Floridian feel" and soft lighting that spotlights certain parts of the home.

I enjoy cooking (when not pressured). :) The kitchen should be large, include a double oven, large stainless steel vent and appliances, and have neutral colors such as white or gray, with neutral granite countertops. An accent wall at the bar with a bit of texture is ideal.

I'm a mother of 2 small children. With my first child, I learned quickly that toddlers and carpet do NOT get along. Flooring throughout the home should be marbled or epoxy with a (marble-look) is acceptable. Recession lights throughout home provides a nice modern look.

EVERY master bathroom should have a chandelier (no room for debate). It's so regal and exquisite! A vintage stand-alone tub and large walk-in shower would make me feel like a Queen!
