kitchen remodel with wall removal - Design Build Planners (2)

This is a guest blog done by Kathi Fleck of LoneStar Property Solutions. You can read an interview she had previously done with Design Build Planners here. Remodeling one room seems to have a snowball effect in that there’s always something we feel we can do to make other spaces better, more efficient, more comfortable or just more visually appealing. With that in mind, we’ve pulled the most requested add-ons by clients once their initial project has started. These low to high-impact changes can improve your home and add to its functionality. Each project features what type of remodeling professional(s) can complete the home project and if a permit is required. We’ve also included the approximate cost information below.

Wet Bar Options For Your Home

This entry was posted in Home and Family Lifestyle and tagged beverage center, home remodeling, kegerator, wet bar on April 29, 2015 by Andrew Parsons.

Wet Bar Options For Your Home Are you considering installing a wet bar in your remodeling project? It is really a great idea whether you entertain regularly or it is just for your family get togethers. Some people think that it is better to install just a dry bar with a small fridge in order to save money on the plumbing and the fixtures. Just think about how much time and frustration a wet bar is going to save you, though. When it comes to dishes, getting a drink of water, or cleaning up a quick mess, it just makes sense to have a sink with your bar. Continue reading →

What Is A Kegerator?

There is nothing better than enjoying an ice cold beer on a hot summer day or simply after a long day at work. However, sometimes the beer is not as cold, or as good, as it is supposed to be. There is only one solution to this problem, a kegerator! A kegerator is solely for the use of dispensing beer. In other words, it is basically a beer dispensing refrigerator. You will never have to worry about whether your beer is going to be cold enough or good enough again. Continue reading →

NJ Wine Cellar Design Ideas

This entry was posted in Basement Remodeling, Neil Parsons and tagged tasting room, wet bar, wine cellar, wine room on May 27, 2014 by Neil Parsons.

Building a wine room can be a very exciting proposition for just about anyone. The commitment to build a wine cellar usually means you’ve already built up your wine collection to a point where you need a place to store all of those bottles, and having that many bottles of good wine is a joy all on its own. Of course, having all those wine bottles also means that you’ve spent a great deal of money on all of them, so you probably aren’t looking to skimp on costs for the wine cellar itself. All that said, you definitely don’t want to overspend when it comes to building your wine cellar either. Continue reading →

Family Loves to Entertain But Kitchen Is Too Small

This entry was posted in Jason Parsons, Kitchens, Neil Parsons, Remodeling Project Design and tagged countertop, Design Build Planners, Design Build Remodeling, houzz, Jason Parsons, kitchen remodeling, Neil Parsons, patio, proskill construction, wet bar on July 16, 2013 by Neil Parsons.

Dilemma: A family that loves to entertain with a kitchen that is way too small. Solution: Kitchen addition and remodel. The project includes a rear addition off the existing kitchen and also behind the garage to create a laundry/mudroom. The exterior features casement windows, a masonry patio with stone knee wall, grill, lighting, and a retractable canvas awning. The kitchen displays the unfitted design where all the cabinetry does not match. The perimeter cabinets are stained and the tiered island is a white painted beadboard. The wood flooring is bamboo with a dark stain. The wet bar, with beverage center and dishwasher drawers, is situated on the opposite wall of the cooking area. The addition has a vaulted ceiling and a rear feature wall painted "scarlet red." The owners, avid Rutgers University football fans, wanted a great space to watch the games, entertain and always be in season! Continue reading →

Other times, your wet bar is located in a rec room, great room, library, office or even in your outdoor space. This wet bar set up is located in the basement, which was expertly remodeled by Mark of Excellence Remodeling in Monmouth County. Continue reading →
