There’s something uniquely satisfying about giving new life to an outdated space, and our recent project on the Virginia Beach oceanfront was no exception! McDrake Remodeling took on the challenge of transforming an old-fashioned bathroom with bold, dated fixtures into a functional, modern masterpiece, designed to inspire relaxation while offering every contemporary convenience.
The original bathroom featured a pink jacuzzi tub and a layout that no longer suited the homeowner’s lifestyle. To create a fresh, updated look, we started with a full demo, clearing out the outdated elements and creating space for a functional, streamlined design that would make the most of the home’s beachfront charm.
To bring this bathroom fully into the present and make the most of its natural light, we took on additional structural updates. We removed several old walls and stripped away outdated wallpaper, creating a fresh, open concept that breathes new life into the room. We chose a clean, classic white paint for the walls and installed recessed lighting, which not only brightens the space but also allows sunlight to pour in through the skylight and newly updated windows.
We replaced the old jacuzzi tub with a large walk-in shower featuring glazed ceramic tile from Marazzi. With a chrome showerhead and fixtures, the shower boasts a sleek and contemporary feel, while a gray granite bench provides a touch of luxury and convenience. Nearby, a modern soaking tub invites relaxation with style and comfort.
A key feature of this remodel is the stunning new double vanity by Eclipse Cabinetry in Dark Elm, thoughtfully designed to elevate both style and function. The vanity’s modern design with polished chrome finishes brings a sleek sophistication to the space, while the rich wood tone adds warmth and contrast against the lighter tile and wall colors.
A pair of wide, matte black round mirrors anchor the vanity area, bringing a bold contrast against the clean white walls. Their simple yet striking design draws the eye, adding a touch of modernity and visual interest. The circular shape softens the overall look, breaking up the rectangular lines of the vanity and providing a harmonious balance in the room.
To maximize convenience, we also included additional counter space dedicated to makeup and personal care items. This expanded area offers ample room for daily routines, making it easy to stay organized. Beneath the counters, deep drawers and cabinets provide plenty of storage for bathroom essentials, eliminating clutter and keeping everything within reach.
These storage solutions are perfect for maintaining a clean, streamlined look, giving the bathroom a sense of order and luxury that complements its new open, modern layout.
Flooring sets the foundation for any bathroom remodel, and for this oceanfront home, we selected porcelain tile by Florida Tile. This flooring choice brings a beautiful, natural texture that complements the room’s modern elements, while its neutral tones tie seamlessly into the rest of the design.
Aside from aesthetics, durability was a top priority. The porcelain tile is not only visually appealing but also incredibly resilient and easy to maintain—perfect for high-traffic areas and humidity typical of beachfront homes.
This flooring choice grounds the room with a timeless elegance, giving it a polished look that will last for years to come.

We’re thrilled to showcase one of our most exciting projects yet—a full-scale, first-floor remodel of a home in Suffolk, VA! This house had decades of mismatched additions and hints of neo-classical design, creating a blend of styles that lacked cohesion. Our mission? To rework the floor plan and bring fresh, contemporary design choices that transform this space into a functional, stylish home.
We started with a deep dive into the layout, rethinking how the space could be better utilized. By reconfiguring the floor plan, we opened up the home to create a seamless flow between rooms, integrating modern living areas while enhancing natural light and movement. This wasn’t just a remodel; it was a full reinvention of the home’s architecture, transforming outdated spaces into a cohesive, open-concept design that maximizes both form and function.
One of the most dramatic changes happened in the kitchen. What was once a tiny, black-and-white space is now a luxurious coastal, open-concept kitchen. Swipe for the amazing transformation:
Enjoy the details of this beautiful kitchen remodel in Suffolk, Virginia:
From outdated to functional and stylish, we stripped this kitchen down to its core, removed walls, leveled the floors, and rebuilt it from the ground up. Take a look through the photos to see the kitchen transformation, showcasing the journey from concept to completion.
This project started with an outdated and closed-off kitchen that lacked both style and functionality. We took care of the heavy lifting, removing awkward walls and rerouting electrical and plumbing to maximize the space and create an open, flowing layout with ample storage solutions. The result? A modern kitchen that’s perfect for cooking and entertaining Key features include:
This spacious island isn’t just for show; it’s designed for everyday use and entertaining. It includes a built-in sink and dishwasher, making meal prep and cleanup a breeze while keeping everything within reach. The island also offers ample seating, transforming it into a gathering hub for friends and family, whether for morning coffee or evening gatherings.
The kitchen’s aesthetic is elevated by the Merola porcelain mosaic tile in Frost Blue, adding a striking geometric design element that ties the space together beautifully. The tiles feature soothing shades of light blue, accented with subtle indigo undertones, bringing depth and texture to the room. This elegant touch not only enhances the coastal feel but also creates a refreshing visual contrast against the Natural Elm cabinetry and quartz countertops.
We removed the outdated swirled texture from the walls and ceilings, opting for a smooth finish and a fresh coat of matte white paint on the walls and trim. This update brings a timeless, modern feel to the entire space, enhancing the brightness and allowing natural light to flow seamlessly throughout. In the kitchen, we added recessed lighting to illuminate every corner, under-cabinet lighting for enhanced visibility, and bronze pendants over the island for a cohesive and sophisticated touch. Together, these elements create a warm and inviting atmosphere that perfectly complements the home’s fresh, contemporary style.
As part of the kitchen expansion, we built a brand-new walk-in pantry, offering ample storage space for the homeowners. Thoughtfully designed with shelving and lighting, the pantry provides an organized and convenient solution for storing everything from dry goods to kitchen appliances. It’s a perfect blend of functionality and style, ensuring that every item has its place while enhancing the overall flow of the kitchen.
The updated living area is now a bright, open-concept space that seamlessly connects the kitchen and dining area, creating an inviting and functional layout perfect for family gatherings and relaxation. We installed new LVP flooring throughout and applied a fresh coat of matte white paint, giving the space a timeless, modern look. The outdated swirled texture was removed from the walls, and we added recessed lighting to enhance the natural brightness, bringing warmth and comfort to every corner.
To further open up the room, we removed several decorative columns, creating a smooth flow between the spaces. We also refreshed the fireplace, making it a cozy focal point that adds to the room’s appeal. With a view overlooking the lake, this transformed living space is perfect for unwinding, entertaining, and enjoying the beauty of its surroundings.
We transformed the entryway into a welcoming and stylish space that sets the tone for the entire home. New Southwinds Flooring in Traditions White Oak LVP was installed, complemented by fresh matte white paint, updated trim, and a modern light fixture that enhances the brightness and appeal of the space. Check out the amazing entryway transformation below. Notice how the design flows into the open-concept kitchen and living area.
To further elevate the entry, we installed a new front door, windows, and lighting, improving both the aesthetics and functionality. This inviting entryway now offers a perfect blend of style and practicality, creating an impressive first impression for all who enter.
The master suite transformation is nothing short of breathtaking. We turned unused space into a sanctuary by creating a master bathroom from scratch. With custom finishes and modern design elements, this new addition adds unparalleled luxury, giving the homeowners a private retreat they never had before.
The new master suite and bathroom were completely transformed from a blank slate into a fresh, contemporary retreat. We installed new flooring, built walls, built closets, and added fresh paint, trim, and doors to create a cohesive and polished look.
The newly created bathroom features a stylish Aspect vanity, expertly crafted tile work, and modern fixtures that enhance both functionality and aesthetics. Every detail was carefully chosen to create a serene and luxurious space, offering the perfect blend of comfort and elegance for the homeowners.
The new shower is a showstopper, featuring a sleek frameless sliding door with clear glass and stainless steel accents that add a contemporary touch. The walls are adorned with 24″ x 48″ polished porcelain tile by Martinique in Azul, offering a natural and authentic look that exudes elegance. On the shower floor, we used 1″ x 16″ porcelain mosaic tile in Silver Melody by Florida Tile, which pairs perfectly with the larger 12×24 version that extends onto the bathroom floor, creating a seamless and cohesive design.
All new hardware, including a modern faucet, sink, shower system, and toilet, have been installed to complete the transformation. This once unused space has been turned into a luxurious, modern bathroom, enhancing the functionality and aesthetic of the master suite.
Building the new Jack and Jill bathroom was truly an engineering feat! We started with all-new framing, constructing a new wall, and updating the roof and exterior wall. To create the perfect layout, we covered and closed existing windows and a skylight, optimizing the space for functionality and privacy.
For the bathroom flooring, we used porcelain tile from the Florida Tile Rhyme collection in Desert Harmony, providing a warm and inviting feel. We installed a beautiful Shiloh Cabinetry vanity topped with fantasy brown quartzite and paired it with satin bronze hardware and faucet for a refined look. The shower features 4″ x 12″ Marazzi ceramic tile from the Middleton Square collection in Oxford White, adding a crisp and clean aesthetic.
The connecting bedroom is now a carefully designed space that offers convenient shared access while maintaining privacy and comfort—ideal for families or visiting guests. We transformed this area from an empty frame to a functional and beautiful part of the home, ensuring it blended effortlessly with the new contemporary style.
We completely transformed the dated powder room, which previously featured hints of neo-classical design, into a fresh, modern space. We installed a new vanity with updated hardware, a new toilet, and sleek chrome lighting fixtures for a polished look. The old wallpaper and textured walls were removed, and the room was brightened up, creating a clean and inviting atmosphere.
In the laundry room, we added Green Forest Cabinetry with new hardware, maximizing storage and functionality. We also installed client-provided appliances to create a practical, efficient space for laundry, conveniently separated from the main living areas. The result is a cohesive and functional extension of the home’s modern aesthetic.
To maximize our client’s living space and blend the beauty of the outdoors with indoor comfort, we installed a Betterliving 4-Track Stacking Sunroom System on their back deck. This versatile and innovative system allows the client to enclose the space while maintaining the flexibility to open up nearly 75% of the screen area when desired. The panels glide smoothly, stacking to the top, bottom, or any configuration that best suits the weather and their preferences.
We upgraded the existing deck to enhance both durability and style, adding new siding, lighting, and a brand-new back door. This transformation created a versatile, year-round space that seamlessly blends indoor comfort with the beauty of the outdoors.
We thoroughly enjoyed transforming the entire first floor of this home, turning outdated and mismatched spaces into a cohesive, modern, and functional living area. By repurposing old spaces and reconfiguring the layout, we created a harmonious flow that reflects our client’s vision.

We’re excited to begin work on the second floor soon—stay tuned for more dramatic before-and-afters and another exciting transformation!

At McDrake Remodeling, we take pride in turning outdated spaces into functional, beautiful areas that enhance the home. One of our latest projects in Virginia Beach showcases our expertise in bathroom renovations and custom door installations. Here’s a look at how we transformed a master bathroom into a spa-like sanctuary and installed a stylish new entryway to the outdoors.
This project started with an outdated bathroom that lacked both style and functionality. We took care of the heavy lifting, removing awkward walls and rerouting electrical and plumbing to maximize the space and create an open, flowing layout. The result? A modern, sleek retreat that feels like stepping into a luxury spa. Key features include:
A standout feature of this remodel is the stunning walk-in steam shower, designed for both relaxation and rejuvenation. Enclosed by floor-to-ceiling white marbled porcelain tiles, the steam shower creates a luxurious, spa-like experience right in the comfort of home. But beyond its aesthetic appeal, it offers numerous health and wellness benefits.
Incorporating a steam shower into your bathroom isn’t just about creating a luxurious escape—it’s a step toward enhancing overall well-being. With its timeless design and functional benefits, this walk-in steam shower adds both beauty and wellness to the home.
Featuring floor-to-ceiling tiles in white marbled porcelain, this walk-in steam shower is the perfect combination of style and functionality. It’s not just about getting clean—it’s about the experience.
One of the highlights of this master bathroom remodel is the double vanity, which seamlessly blends warm wood tones with modern fixtures. The natural wood brings warmth and depth to the space, balancing the sleek, contemporary finishes. It’s not just about aesthetics—the double vanity offers ample storage and countertop space, making it as functional as it is beautiful.
We paired the rich wood with matte black fixtures, which provide a bold contrast and modern edge to the design. The mixed metal hardware—incorporating both black and brushed bronze—adds a layer of warm sophistication, offering a subtle yet stylish way to introduce texture and dimension into the space. This combination of materials creates a harmonious blend of warmth and modernity, making the vanity a true centerpiece of the room.
At the heart of this remodeled master bathroom is a stunning soaking tub, designed to provide a luxurious escape from the stresses of everyday life. With its elegant curves and sculptural design, the tub serves as both a visual centerpiece and a sanctuary for relaxation.
Beyond the beautiful bathroom remodel, we took this project a step further by upgrading the adjacent walk-in closet with custom smart storage solutions designed for modern living. Thoughtfully crafted to maximize space and keep everything organized, the new closet combines sleek design with cutting-edge technology.
One standout feature is the LG Styler® steam closet—a high-tech addition that offers the convenience of effortlessly refreshing clothes and eliminating wrinkles. This system uses gentle steam to keep garments looking fresh without the need for ironing or frequent dry cleaning. Perfect for delicate fabrics, suits, or even items that need a quick refresh before wearing, the Styler simplifies clothing care in an elegant and innovative way.
To enhance convenience, we also installed an updated washer and dryer set within the walk-in closet space, providing seamless access for laundry needs. Now, washing, drying, and caring for clothes can all happen in one location, making daily routines more efficient and freeing up time for other priorities.
From the elegant design touches to the advanced storage solutions, this remodel combines aesthetics, functionality, and innovation, creating a true sanctuary for the homeowners. If you’re thinking about remodeling your bathroom or enhancing your home, McDrake is here to bring your vision to life!

At McDrake Remodeling, we recently completed a breathtaking kitchen transformation that showcases the perfect blend of sleek, modern aesthetics and functional design.
This project was all about opening up the space, creating a clean, minimalist vibe, and incorporating plenty of smart storage solutions for our client, who loves to cook.
To achieve the open, airy feel our client was looking for, we removed a wall and relocated major appliances, giving the kitchen a whole new layout. The result? A spacious, modern kitchen that’s perfect for both cooking and entertaining. We also upgraded the lighting system, featuring recessed lights that can change colors—adding a fun, customizable atmosphere to the room.
One of the standout features of this remodel is the high-contrast design between the smooth, matte black cabinetry and the luxurious white Calacatta Miraggio Gold Quartz countertops and backsplash. This striking contrast creates a chic, elegant atmosphere, while the waterfall countertop and backsplash add a seamless, high-end look that ties the whole space together.
The flat black cabinet doors create a sleek, smooth surface, giving the kitchen a minimalist aesthetic that’s perfect for any modern home. The matte black finish not only adds elegance but also brings a touch of luxury, making this kitchen the ultimate space for entertaining and everyday cooking.
To balance the boldness of the black and white elements, we installed LVP flooring in rustic Oak from Eastern Flooring Products. This flooring adds warmth and character to the room, ensuring that the space feels inviting and comfortable, despite its modern style. The durability of the LVP also makes it a practical choice for a busy kitchen.
This kitchen isn’t just beautiful—it’s smart and highly functional. We included several tech-savvy features, such as pop-up charging stations for easy device access while cooking or entertaining. Under-cabinet lighting adds both ambiance and functionality, with the added bonus of customizable colors to set the perfect mood.
Storage was a top priority for our client, so we included a “garage” for storing large cookware, keeping countertops clutter-free. We also created a custom nook for cookbooks and family recipes, a personal touch that adds charm and practicality. Above the stove, a custom shelf offers a perfect spot for storing spices, making them easily accessible while cooking. There’s even a custom sink shelf for organizing kitchen cleaning accessories—because every detail matters!
We elevated this kitchen with luxurious details like the farmhouse sink, complete with a glass rinser and waterfall faucet. These elements not only enhance the aesthetic but also add to the kitchen’s functionality, making everyday tasks easier and more enjoyable.
To complete the culinary look, we installed sleek stainless steel appliances, adding a professional touch that makes this kitchen a dream come true for any home chef. The combination of stainless steel and matte black creates a chic, sophisticated atmosphere that’s ideal for entertaining guests.
This kitchen remodel was a fun and rewarding project, and it was a pleasure working with our client to bring their vision to life. From the bold design choices to the thoughtful storage solutions, every detail was crafted with care, ensuring the space is as beautiful as it is functional.

At McDrake Remodeling, we love taking spaces that no longer work for modern families and transforming them into places where memories are made. Recently, we tackled a unique kitchen: a cramped, French Provincial-inspired kitchen that needed a serious update. By blending thoughtful design, innovative materials, and a focus on functionality, we created a sleek, modern kitchen with beautiful copper accents. Here’s how we turned this dated space into a dream kitchen for our clients.
The original kitchen was separated from the dining area by a wall, creating a closed-off, narrow feel. To create an open-concept layout, we removed the wall and reimagined the flow of the space. Now, the kitchen seamlessly connects to the dining area, providing plenty of room for entertaining and making family dinners more enjoyable.
For the backsplash, we selected timeless gray subway tiles—a perfect mix of classic and trendy. These tiles add texture and depth, complementing the copper accents while maintaining a sleek, cohesive look. The backsplash extends behind the cooktop, where we installed a stunning pot filler for both style and convenience.
Copper hardware, light fixtures, and a custom pot filler bring a sense of luxury and warmth to the space. These accents stand out against the clean lines of the kitchen while harmonizing with the other design elements for a polished, modern aesthetic.
Lighting plays a key role in any kitchen design. We added recessed lighting to highlight the kitchen’s new features and combined it with the natural light flooding in from the window over the sink. The result is a bright, inviting space. Modern copper pendant lights above the kitchen island bring a touch of warmth and elegance, tying the design together beautifully.
We replaced the outdated countertops with stunning granite. The natural stone not only enhances the overall look of the kitchen but also offers plenty of space for food preparation and storage. Its durability and timeless appeal make it a practical and stylish choice.
We chose REALTA® SPC by Mannington in Patina Ash for the flooring. This waterproof flooring not only looks stunning with its rich tones but also offers superior indentation resistance, making it ideal for a high-traffic area like the kitchen. It’s durable, easy to clean, and provides excellent value—perfect for busy households.
Storage was a major concern in the old kitchen, so we added a custom cabinet that doubles as a coffee bar. This feature not only provides additional storage but also creates a dedicated space for the homeowners to enjoy their morning routine.
What was once a cramped, French Provincial-inspired kitchen is now an open, modern space that the homeowners will enjoy for years. By opening up the floor plan, incorporating high-quality materials, and adding thoughtful details like custom storage and copper accents, we’ve created a kitchen that’s as functional as it is beautiful.

When it comes to choosing hardware during your home renovation, it can look a lot like the Olympics. While athletes aim to capture gold, silver, and bronze medals, you can add these same statement details to your home! Whether you’re looking to add warmth, timeless elegance, or rustic charm, our design team has you covered.
Which fits your personal style?
Gold is the ultimate winner when it comes to adding a soft, comforting glow and a subtle sense of elegance to any room. With finishes ranging from polished and brushed to rubbed, gold fixtures add depth and tactile appeal.
Aged nickel, brushed nickel, polished chrome, and polished nickel take the silver medal for their ability to create a serene, industrial feel that is both classic and elegant.
In our remodeling projects, we often incorporate “silver” elements into kitchens, bathrooms, and living rooms to add a touch of sophistication and polish. Whether you opt for brushed nickel lighting or a polished chrome Delta Shower System, these silver metals add a timeless charm to any room.
Burished Oil Rubbed Bronze, Satin Bronze, and Copper hardware all can add a rustic, charming feel to your home. Bronze hardware is not only beautiful but also durable, resistant to wear and corrosion, and can last for decades.
While Olympic athletes receive gold, silver, and bronze medals, so too is the trend of mixing metals in your home. Combining warm and cool tones and varying finishes can create a space with depth and character.
Once considered a cardinal sin of design, mixing metals is now perfectly acceptable. In fact, when done right, it helps create a space with depth and character, letting you bring together a greater variety of elements. To help you create a mixed metal space that captures your personal style and leaves you simply smitten each time you enter, we’ve compiled a few tips and tricks.
While you may not be an Olympian, you too can feel accomplished knowing that you can’t go wrong with either gold, silver, or bronze hardware in your remodel. Our design team at McDrake Remodeling will help you find the best use of metals and hardware that reflect you and your home’s style.
