Sneak Peek and New Wellington Project

We did our PDI (pre-delivery inspection) and walk through of the home we finished last week.  A few straggling details to finish up but we are pretty happy with the outcome of this home!  Here are a few detail shots just for you ;)

A project that we are very excited to be started just outside of wellington.  Also.....we are going to start giving homes names instead of Wellington Home or Cressy House....because frankly, those are boring.
So we are going to start by calling this one "Wine Country Waterfront" (or #winecountrywaterfront on social!)

This is the site as of this morning:

As you can see its another slab-on-grade home, lots of steel (all the heart eyes) and large windows facing the lake.  Here are a couple preliminary design concepts:

What's New with You?

Hello Friends,

Its been a while so lets just put the last year behind us and continue on with whats happening now!

We have a busy spring/summer coming up full of new homes. 
A couple of weeks ago we started a project just past Waupoos on County Road 8, we built a similar "model" of this house last Fall and co-incidentally these new clients came to us with the same inspiration pictures/ideas!  We were able to take them for a walk through and they were sold...with a few changes to make it all their own.

Here is the site as it appeared last week:

As you can see it's a slab on grade construction, the footings are poured and this week it is being framed up!

Here is a photo of the home we completed in the fall...I'm excited to see how this house will turn out compared to last Fall's project!

We are also in the end stage of another new build that we began in Fall 2017.  Here is some progress from that site:

We are eager to get this one completed in the next few weeks so we can start a few more!

March Updates

Spring is in our sights here in Prince Edward County! Our current projects in Carrying Place and Prinyers' Cove are well underway, we were lucky this year to have a pretty mild winter (knock on wood!!).
Nothing to exciting (picture wise) to update on those projects... except that our clients in Carrying Place have opted for a design with some pretty spectacular glulam beam details...check them out:

Eek...is anyone else as excited as I am to see those beams with the finished ceilings!!??

If you follow us on Instagram you will have already seen the video of this demo a few weeks ago....

Out with the old.....

Soon to be a stunning new beachfront home...stay tuned!!

We also have a commercial project on the go in the Wellington area, a new landscape/veggie stand/organic seed company or something....I'm sure I've got that all wrong....I'll be correcting myself later!  There has been a bit of progress since this photo was taken, but here is the footprint:

We've got a few more projects starting in the next few weeks, so check us out next month!

February Fun

Things are miving along nicely at our current job sites.  The weather hasn't delayed us too terribly (at least not compared to previous years!!).
In Prinyers Cove we have some walls up and expect to have trusses installed by early next week....as long as the weather continues to co-operate.

Renovations Galore!

Typically we don't do renovations, we like to stick to what we are good at; new custom homes, but somehow we couldn't say no to these two large scale renos!

The Beacon (vacation rental property) is located above the Duke of Wellington restaurant in Wellington.  It was a largely unused and unfinished space when we got ahold of it, we had free rein to do whatever we wanted (right down to the fixtures and furniture!) Gotta love that!

Check out the before:

Eek......

But it looks great now!

Want to stay here?? Book it here

The second Renovation is a huge undertaking (and a logistical nightmare), which of course is why we said yes...we love a challange!

It's the renovation of the Summer Camp on Waupoos Island!  This project is going to take a few seasons to complete, but we will try and give you a few updates along the way.

Here are some before photos of the beautiful grounds!

Welbanks Semi Update

We are ecstatic,  and also sorry,  to inform you that all of our semi-detached homes in the Welbanks subdivision are now sold.  We are currently finishing the last unit for a great local couple and their daughter.  I think they are really going to enjoy the Welbanks community.

Here are a couple pictures of Lot 61 and 63, the last 2 units we completed (because I have really been slacking with finish pictures...sorry about that!)

Lot 61:

Lot 63:

Hello Strangers!

It has been far too long since our last post (thanks to John for pointing that out)!  We will try to be less tardy in the future!

We've got lots to show you since our last post...hopefully we will have photos updated on the website soon...but, for us, our current clients come first ... social media is a close second though.  Check out Instagram (@kleurdesign and @hickoryhomes) for snippets of current work.

The Modern Barn (or "that big red barn house" to locals!):
 It is the talk of Wellington, people love it or hate it...I love it, those red architectural panels are fantastic (and so is the lovely lady who lives there).
Here are some pictures of the custom interior details in the space.... this was a FUN house to design, source and build.  I just love it when clients are up for anything! We hope Karin enjoys living in it as much as we enjoyed building it.

Morgan Road:

We started a new home on Morgan road in June. This isn't one of our typical design/build projects, but we are enjoying it none the less!  These clients came to us with plans and finishes and we are just bringing their plans to life. At this point we are taking it to the interior finishes stage and the homeowners are finishing themselves.  

Stay tuned
