Scot & Metri’s Kitchen

Scot and Metri, returning clients with a love for cooking, approached us to redesign their outdated kitchen to better fit their growing family’s needs. While their vacation homes featured modern designs, their primary residence lacked the style and functionality they desired. With two kids and a passion for culinary experiences, they wanted a kitchen that […]
Rory & Jessica’s Basement

Rory & Jessica wanted a big open space where they could hang out with family and entertain friends. A wine bar was at the top of their list, as well as changing the wood burning fireplace to an eye catching modern gas fireplace. By creating a separate floor with 2 comfortable bedrooms for their daughters, or a future guest suite, we provided mom and dad with […]
Megan & Scott’s Enclosed Porch

Purchasing their home during the pandemic, Megan & Scott knew how important outdoor living space would be to them. By replacing an existing deck with a new screened-in porch, Merrick was able to nearly double the size of the space. And enclosing the porch means that they’ll be able to enjoy it year-round. We enclosed […]
Courtney’s Kitchen & Bathroom

Courtney came to Merrick needing a remodel for her kitchen and main bathroom. We were able to make them a gorgeous, colorful, transitional style statement. Her kitchen remodel features Candlelight Cabinetry with Bayport square doors, in a custom green paint on the base cabinets, and custom Quarter Sawn White Oak stain on the upper cabinets. […]
Anne-Marie’s Screened-In Porch

This renovation project was a total game-changer for Anne-Marie’s outdoor space. Thanks to the brilliant Phantom screens, she can enjoy the fresh breeze or shield herself from bugs, all at the push of a button. But it’s not just about function; this porch is all about style. The flagstone patio brings an earthy, timeless feel, […]
Josh’s Screened-In Porch

Built at the turn of the 20th century, this historic home was one of the first in Chevy Chase Village. The one part of the house in need of work was the rear porch. Added in the ’80s or ’90s, it had an overgrown trellis that acted as a shelter. Yet it let the rain […]
Jan’s Screened-in Porch and Deck

Jan contacted Merrick for a new outdoor living space when her existing deck and pergola were starting to feel run down. She need help to evaluate the structural integrity of the existing deck and to redesign it so her family could get more use out of their outdoor living space. The new design relocated the […]
Hae-Soon’s Basement Remodel

Hae-Soon wanted to entertain in style but her basement came up lacking. Her goal was to transform her dull space into an entertaining haven, with a fun place to gather, storage for her wine collection, and a stylish bath to complement the rest of the space. She needed someone with a design style bold enough […]
Alan’s Entry

When Alan called Merrick, he loved almost everything about his mid-century modern Chevy Chase home – he just did not like the original 1970s entryway. It was dark and closed in, and uninviting. Alan shared an inspirational photo with us that showed a simple cable rail design on the staircase. We started by removing all […]
Deborah’s Mudroom

Recently transplanted from New York City, Deborah wanted lots of space. She found it with a new construction home in Bethesda. After spending a year in her new home, she found the mudroom did not work for her family. It was too tiny and in a bad location. To enlarge the space, Merrick removed the […]
Kathy & Glenn’s Primary Bath

Ready to transform the primary bathroom in their Kensington home, Kathy and Glenn, already valued Merrick clients, called us once again. They wanted a space that would accommodate their needs (including a remodel of the closet space) and feel relaxing, like a beautiful day at the beach. For Kathy and Glenn, the beach meant cool […]
Lori & Bill’s Whole Home Transformation

We fondly refer to Lori and Bill’s project as “The Storybook Kitchen” because the way this warm, inviting, and beautiful kitchen came together was like a fairy tale! As with any good story, it started with our heroes, Lori and Bill, in trying times. They had hired an architect that provided a solution that wasn’t […]
