Remodelers Showcase

The decision to renovate rather than relocate after 23 years revealed a deep emotional connection to the home and a strong desire to customize the space to the homeowner’s preferences. What makes this remodel unique is that it was spearheaded by Mary Maney, a designer at Crystal Kitchen + Bath who is also the homeowner. This personal involvement infused the project with a level of creativity and intimacy rarely found in renovations.

Nearly every corner of the main level underwent a transformation, from the kitchen to the family room, laundry room, and beyond, showcasing significant aesthetic upgrades without major structural changes. The kitchen, a highlight of the renovation, blends functionality with beauty through integrated appliances, two-toned cabinets, and a natural soapstone countertop—a culinary haven reflecting the homeowner’s love for cooking and entertaining. Ultimately, this remodel exemplifies how personalization and creative vision can shape a home into a unique expression of its inhabitants’ lifestyle and personality, enhanced by Mary’s dual role as homeowner and designer.
