About The Neighborhood
Situated in the vibrant Mt. Tabor neighborhood of Portland, Oregon, this home sits among tree-lined streets, historic charm, and scenic parkside views. The remodel honors the classic character of the surrounding community while infusing contemporary layout enhancements for modern Pacific Northwest living.
The Challenge
Overcoming Outdated Layouts and Dark Spaces
- Restricted kitchen layout with minimal counter prep space
- Dark rooms lacking natural light and open views
- Dated bathroom with insufficient storage and old finishes
- Inefficient microwave placement creating unnecessary counter clutter
The home’s original layout felt segmented, preventing modern flow between the kitchen, dining nook, and adjacent living room. Additionally, the bathroom lacked the spa-like atmosphere and clever storage needed for modern daily routines.
BEFORE:
“Well lit, comfortably heated, and luxuriously crafted – DreamMaker brought the vision of this homeowner’s bathroom to life. We loved every moment of it.”

An Open, Sunlit Sanctuary
We opened up the layout to create visual flow between the living room, kitchen, and bright bay-window dining area. In the kitchen, custom shaker cabinetry, light quartz countertops, and a soft blue glass subway tile backsplash created a fresh, coastal-inspired centerpiece. The primary bathroom was reimagined with full-height subway wall tile, marble hexagon flooring, and a glass-enclosed walk-in shower. The result is a unified interior that feels spacious, luminous, and endlessly functional.
Key Improvements included:
- Custom island with gas range and built-in microwave
- Soft blue glass subway tile kitchen backsplash
- Glass-front upper cabinets for displaying glassware
- Spa walk-in shower with frameless glass and bench
- Custom grey vanity with crystal knobs and quartz
- Warm luxury vinyl plank flooring installed throughout
