Country Inspired Remodel
Country Inspired Remodel
This whole home remodel in West Hills began with a simple goal: build a dream kitchen. But after meeting in person with the owner, Carl and designer, Raegan, the homeowners realized there was more potential to improve their space than they initially imagined. Leading to a full kitchen transformation, a spa-inspired bathroom remodel, an upgraded laundry room, and a custom-designed primary bedroom closet. The kitchen was completely gutted and reimagined from the ground up. Inspired by a Country aesthetic, Raegan worked closely with the homeowners to select the perfect wood species for their new cabinetry, ultimately landing on warm, character-rich brown hickory for the base cabinets, paired with soft off-white uppers for a bright yet grounded palette. Special custom inserts throughout dramatically improved functionality and storage, making the new kitchen both beautiful and highly practical. A new heated tile floor replaced the cold and outdated original tile, creating a more inviting surface that ties together the room’s natural textures and tones. In the bathroom, the primary goal was to create space for a spa-like soaking tub, something the existing layout couldn’t accommodate. To make it work, the design pushed into the primary bedroom closet, allowing for a deep soaking tub with a tile surround and a quartz waterfall edge. The updated layout also includes a walk-in tile shower with a lighted niche, custom hickory cabinetry topped with quartz counters, and a soothing, cool grey heated tile floor that complements the blue shower tile. The result is a serene, luxurious bathroom that feels like a retreat. To replace the original primary bedroom closet, Raegan designed a recessed custom closet that maintains an open feel while still offering full-depth storage. The laundry area was also reworked for both function and flow. What was once a pass-through was enclosed into a fully dedicated laundry room, complete with new tile flooring, custom cabinetry, and a space-saving pocket door. From functional storage solutions to warm, timeless finishes, this project beautifully blends form and function across the entire home, and we couldn’t be happier for these clients as they settle into their newly transformed space.

Special Cabinet Inserts
The kitchen features a number of thoughtful custom cabinet inserts, all crafted and installed by our in-house cabinetry team.
Custom Tea Station
Since these clients are avid tea drinkers, a lower countertop tea station was incorporated into the design, creating the perfect spot to prepare and enjoy their tea.
Recessed Custom Closet
This closet appears just 12" deep but actually offers a full 24" of usable storage. This optical illusion keeps the bedroom feeling open while regaining the storage the homeowners needed.

“Throughout the project, Sarah did an incredible job of listening to our vision and guided our decisions with her extensive design experience. G. Christianson consistently provided excellent materials, work, communication, and, moreover, they became our friends throughout the process. They used only superior quality products throughout our home, made sure all systems and structures throughout were constructed to meet or exceed code standards, and took the initiative to provide superior construction techniques even where it wouldn't show. The custom cabinetry and carpentry throughout is top quality and beautiful. The result is exactly the dream home we've always wanted! Sarah, Tanner, and the GCC team created a gorgeous, comfortable space where our family can grow for decades. It was an incredible two-year experience with the GCC family.”
