When it comes to remodeling your home, the kitchen is often the smartest place to invest. Not only is it the heart of the home, but it’s also a top priority for potential buyers. The BDS team knows a well-executed kitchen remodel can offer a strong return on investment (ROI)—sometimes as much as 70-80% or more depending on the market and scope of the project.
After moving into their new home, our Hawthorn Woods homeowner wanted to personalize the space and enhance its functionality to better reflect her style and lifestyle. The renovation focused on both aesthetic and functional updates across the first floor and basement.
A basement is the perfect blank canvas for creating a dedicated home theater.

Our BDS team would love to walk you through creating a dream cinematic experience right in your own home.
Here’s a breakdown of the most important pieces to add to your basement home theater remodel to transform your space into a high-performance, cozy entertainment haven.

Our recent Northbrook renovation took two outdated spaces, a dated primary bathroom and a first-floor powder room, and reimagined them into elegant, functional, and personalized areas for our homeowners. The result was a luxurious spa-like retreat and a chic, curated powder room upgrade, each thoughtfully designed to reflect modern sophistication and the homeowner’s unique taste.
When it comes to home design, creating a space that feels connected, functional, and welcoming is key for our BDS team. This Libertyville first-floor renovation project was a perfect example of reimagining a space to meet modern needs while maintaining a timeless aesthetic.
Our Libertyville homeowners have recently settled into their home and were ready for a complete transformation of their space. The family has young children who are eager to join in on kitchen activities. Their original layout posed challenges: a cramped island with an awkward shape and no seating, a cooktop situated in the island that brought kids uncomfortably close to hot surfaces, a poorly arranged work triangle, and outdated style and lighting. The laundry room’s door layout further restricted usable space, with doors constantly obstructing something when open. The BDS team reimagined each area with both safety and style.
