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.

At McDrake Remodeling, we pride ourselves on taking your vision and turning it into a stunning reality. Our latest project in the Great Neck area of Virginia Beach is a testament to this commitment, as we transformed a home’s bathroom, foyer, and entryway into modern, functional, and breathtaking spaces.
The hallway bathroom received a complete overhaul, starting with the installation of a modern soaking tub, elegant black shower fixtures, and a new window that allows just the right amount of natural light in. We replaced a single sink with a luxurious vanity setup with ample countertop space and nine drawers, providing much needed storage for all bathroom necessities.
The outdated square flooring tiles were replaced with an exquisite Maravilla Hex Marble Mosaic in “Blue Forest,” providing stunning visual impact and durability. The shower walls were adorned with Adessi Ora Beach ceramic tile, creating a serene atmosphere that feels like walking into a cloud. The vanity countertop, made from Venatino White Quartz, adds a touch of sophistication and ties the entire design together beautifully.
We enhanced storage solutions by removing the closet from the opposite side of the wall, opening up the space and replacing it with a standalone cabinetry piece by Aspect Cabinetry, providing even more storage and allowing for a more organized, clutter-free bathroom.
Previously a tripping hazard, the once narrow entryway was reimagined into a spacious and welcoming foyer. We achieved this by constructing an added wall and a new entryway closet, enhancing both functionality and aesthetics. This new widened space not only offers a more accessible entrance but also provides additional storage, making it both stylish and practical.
The entryway received a major flooring upgrade, from outdated terrazzo to contemporary ceramic tile with a matte finish. These classic and durable, ceramic tiles offer long-lasting beauty and are easy to maintain, making them the perfect addition to busy entryways.
One of the standout features of this project was the transformation of the living room into a modern and sophisticated home office.
The installation of a Belldinni door marked the perfect entrance to this newly designed space. This modern door not only provides a quiet and elegant entry but also sets the tone for a professional and productive environment, ideal for working from home.
The existing living room was reimagined to maximize functionality while maintaining a stylish aesthetic. Key elements of the transformation included:
The custom desk nook and integrated closets provide ample workspace and storage, keeping the office organized and clutter-free. The design incorporates sleek lines and high-quality material, creating a sophisticated and efficient workspace.
Modern, adjustable lighting fixtures were installed to ensure the office is well-lit for various tasks, from focused work to virtual meetings. The lighting design enhances both functionality and ambiance.
The selections made by our homeowner and designer combine natural elements and colors, resulting in a timeless appeal that will stand the test of time. Walls were built and removed, lighting and plumbing were restructured, and every detail was meticulously planned and executed.
This complete overhaul resulted in a remodel that is not only modern and classic but also functional and beautiful. At McDrake Remodeling, we understand that your home is your sanctuary, and we are dedicated to creating spaces that you will love for years to come.

The flooring throughout the entire home, including the staircase, the red oak flooring was upgraded to high-quality Mannington Handcrafted Wood Plank flooring. This not only provided a seamless and modern look but also improved the durability and ease of maintenance. The new flooring has become a standout feature, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of every room.
The kitchen, dining room, and breakfast nook received a major upgrade with a fresh coat of paint that brightened up the cabinetry and overall space, updated Mannington flooring, and modern lighting fixtures and hardware. These simple yet impactful change gave the kitchen a fresh and inviting feel.
To ensure a cohesive and polished look, we also repaired and finished the backsplash over the range to match the existing design. These updates combined to create a kitchen that is both beautiful and practical, making it a true centerpiece of the home.
We refreshed the entire first floor, kitchen cabinetry, and the upstairs foyer area with new paint. This update brightened the spaces, giving them a fresh, inviting feel. The new color palette was carefully chosen to complement the home’s existing features while providing a modern, updated look.
To enhance the ambiance and functionality of the home, we made significant updates to the lighting. We moved electrical wiring to center a new fixture over the breakfast nook table and replaced fixtures in the foyer, living room, and dining room. These changes not only improved lighting but also added a touch of sophistication to each space.
One of the most dramatic transformations was the fireplace. We installed an all-new fireplace, complete with a custom mantel, hearth, and stunning stonework. The result is a beautiful focal point in the living room, offering both warmth and style.
Attention to detail is crucial in any renovation project, and we paid special attention to the hardware in this home. We installed custom decorative floor registers, new knobs, and pulls on every door, along with new hinges. These small changes made a big impact, adding a touch of elegance and cohesion throughout the house.
The bathroom underwent a stunning makeover, transforming it into a modern and elegant space. We started with updated Mannington floors, which added a touch of sophistication and durability. A new vanity was installed, providing ample storage and a fresh, clean look. The updated mirror and fresh coat of paint brightened the space, making it feel more open and inviting.
New hardware and fixtures were the finishing touches, adding a touch of luxury and tying the entire design together. The result is a bathroom that combines style and functionality, creating a serene and comfortable retreat within the home.
The entryway and staircase received a complete transformation, creating a stunning first impression as you enter the home. We began by removing the old red oak floors and installing beautiful Mannington hardwood from top to bottom. This upgrade provided a cohesive and elegant look that seamlessly flows throughout the home.
To further enhance the staircase, we replaced the outdated balusters with modern, stylish ones and installed high-quality stair parts. These changes not only improved the aesthetic appeal but also increased the durability and safety of the staircase. The result is a grand, inviting entryway that sets the tone for the rest of the home.
This whole-home renovation in Suffolk, Virginia, was a rewarding project that allowed us to bring our client’s vision to life. Every detail, from the electrical outlets to custom staircase balusters, was designed and executed with care and precision.

This bathroom remodel in Virginia Beach goes beyond mere renovation; it embodies the transformative potential of design. It’s more than just updating a space—it’s about crafting an experience. Our aim is to fashion a bathroom that not only fulfills its practical function but also becomes a sanctuary for relaxation and rejuvenation.
Step into the heart of Norfolk, and you’ll find more than just a kitchen remodel—it’s a symphony of design and functionality. Our latest project was not just about renovating a space; it was about redefining the way our client interacts with their home.
Gone are the days of feeling isolated in the kitchen; we made sure of that. By dismantling a wall, we seamlessly integrated the kitchen with the dining area, fostering an environment where conversations dance alongside culinary creations. No longer confined to the periphery of social gatherings, meal prep becomes a communal affair, where every chop and stir is accompanied by laughter and shared moments.
And then there’s the green cabinetry—vibrant, invigorating, and oh-so-lush. The choice of green cabinetry wasn’t arbitrary; it was intentional. It breathes life into the space, infusing it with a sense of freshness and vitality. As light pours in through the windows, the green hues come alive, captivating all who enter.
But the magic doesn’t stop there. Every element, from the sleek quartz countertops to the contemporary gold hardware, was thoughtfully selected to harmonize with the overall design. Even the installation of white oak hardwood, executed by our expert team at Carpet Hut by McDrake, contributes to the cohesive tone that permeates the entire home.
In essence, this remodel transcends mere renovation—it’s a testament to the power of design to transform not just spaces, but experiences. It’s about creating a kitchen that not only serves its practical purpose but also serves as a canvas for culinary creativity and social connection.
So, as you explore our latest project, let it inspire you to reimagine your own kitchen space. Because in the end, it’s not just about what a kitchen looks like—it’s about the stories it holds and the memories it helps create.
