Drab to Fab Apartment Renovation

We’ve just completed a top to bottom apartment makeover in Columbia, Maryland and are excited to show you the finished product!

Award-winning interior designer Debbie McHale, owner of Interior Transformations in Clarksville, MD, asked Marr Construction to help her update a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment. McHale saw the potential in this older apartment with its open first floor, floor-to-ceiling fireplace and good size bedrooms. The apartment, however, was dated and needed a makeover before being rented. This Columbia apartment is now a prime rental! Take a look at the before and after shots – it’s nearly unrecognizable!

Here are just a few highlights:

• Rather than completely gut the galley kitchen, a new floor that flows with the main living area was installed, upper cabinets were updated to coordinate with the existing countertop.  The glass front cabinets accessible from both sides allow the updated lighting to expand the look and feel of the kitchen.
• McHale’s design for the first floor takes three separate spaces and creates an amazing open floor plan with an easy flow. Updates to the fireplace exterior make it pop as a central feature of the room, lighting was improved and the neutral gray walls make for the perfect background for almost any decor.
• The master bathroom went from lacking to gorgeous! This bathroom was completely gutted to include a stylish double vanity, extra improved storage, semi-private toilet area, enlarged walk-in frameless glass shower with rain showerhead and more. The bathroom is bright, beautiful and ultra-functional!
• The second bathroom was designed to work within the existing footprint.  It was transformed with clean modern amenities such as an expanded walk-in shower, cabinetry, and lighting,
• New carpet, improved lighting and fresh paint was installed in the bedrooms and throughout to create a seamless flow.
