Our client loved their existing home in their Lake City neighborhood but needed more room when it became necessary to provide a space for mom. They knew it would also be a worthwhile investment for years because new regulations make selling “mother-in-law” cottages separately from the main home possible. The gain from this investment could be realized as either rental income or a lump sum for their retirement.
We referred our client to one of J & M’s preferred designers, whom we worked with to develop an ideal floorplan with an exterior design in keeping with the existing home’s style. The two-story layout includes a full kitchen, bathroom, a spacious bedroom and loft area, ample storage, and a large great room. The entry leads to the kitchen and great room area, which features beautiful hardwood flooring and abundant recessed lighting overhead.

We worked closely with our clients and their designer on a complete kitchen, living room, dining room, and stair remodel, and J & M was able to turn their vision into reality seamlessly. The style of this project is one of our favorites to date. The color palate is incredibly soft and warm, a welcome change from the modern, clean lines we often see. The abundant lighting, ample workspace and storage in the kitchen, including a walk-in pantry, make it beautiful and extremely practical. The storage continues into the dining and living areas with built-in cabinets throughout. The project was a complete success and we were happy when the client left a great review of their experience working with us here:
We LOVE our remodel! We remodeled our kitchen, living room, dining room and stairs. Down to the studs. J&M let us use our own designs that we worked with an external designer on. They had a dedicated contractor on site for the majority of the project, and were open to feedback throughout the process. In the end, we’ve received a high quality, custom renovation that we know will add value to our home. I’m excited to live in this house with these updates for years to come.
As the client mentioned, the contrast between the new design that we executed and the previous areas couldn’t be more different.
The best part of this major kitchen renovation was the early collaboration with our client to develop ideas that could maximize their space, accommodate their large family, and get the most out of their project.
Many changes were made, including bringing the lake view to the fore by removing two large walls and arches and installing a large slider and new windows, incorporating a huge kitchen island, two dishwashers to handle their family needs, and a standalone refrigerator and freezer. Design elements included a custom hood wrap, stained glulam ceiling beam, intricate mother-of-pearl tile backsplash and fireplace surround, and many more.
Our client said it best:
“Start to finish this has been the only time I have ever hired a contractor and not only felt completely taken care of but also had the peace of mind that they had my best interest at the top of their priorities.”
“My wife and I could not be happier with the outcome but their guidance through the entire experience is what truly blew our minds.”

Our clients were new transplants to the Seattle metropolitan area, choosing to be close to our world-renowned Children’s Hospital. They were unfamiliar with the area but found a rare 1923 home in Montlake. The home was located exactly where they wanted to be but required extensive updating. They contracted with J & M to renovate the kitchen, dining area, staircase, lighting, trim, baseboards, and flooring on both the main level and the basement. The kitchen was extensively renovated by opening up walls and integrating them with the adjacent dining area and living space. The kitchen became the first thing you would see, whether entering through the front or side door of the home. The new layout changed the look of the dark and compartmentalized craftsman style while flowing with the classic lines of the home’s architecture. The kitchen design included top-of-the-line Bosch, Liebherr, and Fisher + Paykel appliances, completely custom cabinetry, and a walk-in pantry with a custom sliding door.

When our client decided it was time to update the primary bathroom in her home, she reached out to the designer who had worked with her over the years to ensure cohesiveness with the rest of her home. Her designer engaged us, and we worked together to bring the vision to life. The aesthetic was soft and flowy, emphasizing storage and functionality. The large wall of custom storage cabinets blends seamlessly with the space. Other features of interest are the built-in vanity with drawers and a lighted mirror, washlet toilet seat, mounted television, and a spacious shower with multiple niches. The most significant improvement, outside of the overall attractiveness, was the increase in storage from the previous design.
The quality of design and craftsmanship is visible throughout the space. The project incorporates expert tile installation, seamless transitions, and special features, such as rounded and beveled stone edges and accent trim to frame and highlight sconces and towel bars. Combined with mirrors on two additional walls, the installation of larger windows opens and brightens the space. The recessed medicine cabinet offers even more storage.
The materials were thoughtfully selected to reflect the client’s style and quality, which will stand the test of time. This bathroom is a real showstopper in beauty, function, and, above all, quality.
From the moment you walk into this luxury primary bathroom, you can see the striking effect that the addition of a window has on the space’s overall feel. Other notable changes include installing an entire wall of cabinetry, a sit-down vanity, and a large walk-in shower with floor-to-ceiling tile, bench, and niches.
The two images below illustrate the changes.
