Condo With A View
Pryor has begun renovating a 1 bedroom condominium overlooking the Chicago river. All existing finishes have been removed creating a blank slate for the new design. Our crew took special care to leave all common areas spotless.
UPDATE – Hone In On Hoyne
The framing and masonry work is now complete on the rear two story addition. These images show how 1910 and 2017 are merged together to create a beautiful combination of old with new.
Reno on Bueno
Pryor has completed the demo of a single family home exposing the existing framing and electrical. During renovation, we found original framing mixed in with past renovations and the evidence of a later addition to the home. Because the original walls were plaster we see that the electrical wiring is a mix of Romex and […]
Bathroom Renovations
We are completing the gut renovation of a hall bathroom. Details include a textured white subway throughout shower and bathroom walls. A black pencil tile detail is used as an accent. The custom countertop is cut to fit right along the pencil tile to finish the look.
Unique Trends in Lighting Fixtures
Below are three examples of lighting trends Pryor is installing for their clients. These trends are oversized lighting fixtures, Edison bulb minimalist fixtures and exterior post lighting.
Woodworking Fundamentals: Stairs
These images showcase our ability to build a new staircase, mix new treads with original handrail and balusters as well as restoring an original staircase. In new construction, our clients have the opportunity to install a floating staircase. In Chicago, renovating existing stairs can be very challenging with reinforcing original structures and adding new details.
Adding Drama with Lighting Selections
As a renovator, we allow our customers time to select their lighting fixtures that fit their particular style. We’ve noticed a trend of handmade, highly custom lighting fixtures which bring drama to your living space. Lighting is one of the last pieces installed in a renovation project and is the final touch, pulling the space together.
Hardwood Flooring: Finding The Right Details
We’re renovating a turn of the Century home where oak flooring has a beautiful nail detail down the center of the flooring. In this renovation, part of the flooring needed to be replaced. Floors were stained to match and later the nail detail was added. View the finished product below.
Finding Unique Storage Spaces
During a renovation there are opportunities to find storage spaces in unlikely places. These photos show the ability to create a linen closet or shelving inside the unused wall space.
New Bathroom Trends
We’re installing some new bathroom treads which include subway tiles installed in a non-traditional format with black grout (Image 1), radiant floors within a shower space (image 2), and non traditional glass profile tiles (image 3). These are great ideas to bring to your architect or interior designer when planning a full renovation.
