People tend to think of bathrooms as purely functional spaces, but modern baths are playing multiple roles for homeowners. From spas to retreats to wellness centers and even technology hubs — luxury baths are more functional and beautifully designed than ever before.
Your roof takes a beating. It’s the one facet of your home that’s never shielded from the elements, and yet, it endures. But just how many lives does your roof have?
Thinking of turning that musty, unused basement into a new living room, entertainment room or accessory dwelling unit (ADU)? Here’s what you can expect when you work with us on your finished basement.
At Neil Kelly Company, we’re proud to partner with Portland-based Umpqua Bank. Here the lender walks us through some of the most common financing scenarios — and a few surprises you haven’t heard of — to ensure your next project is a success.
There are endless possibilities to transform your garage or utility room. With a little creativity (and expert handyman services), you can convert your detached building or attached space into something useful for the whole family.
Over the years, we accumulate stuff that we just can’t bear to part with. At some point, it feels like there’s no more space for all of our things. But don’t fret. A lack of space can be easily solved with a few efficient upgrades.
It’s a rite of passage in many families: the kids grow up and move out. When the celebrations are over and the kids are gone, many homeowners are left wondering what to do with all that space. Here’s how you can make an empty nest more to your style.
High-rise towers. Riverside hideaways. Casual cottages. Neil Kelly designers work on condos of all shapes and sizes. What’s the one thing each project has in common? Each condo needs to do more with less space. With a little creativity, you can turn your condo — whether it’s your first home or retirement abode — into the space you’ve always dreamed of.
Is your home ready for the Golden Years? Whether retirement is just around the corner or you’re smack dab in the middle of it, adding simple comforts to your home right now will help sustain you in the space for years to come.
Whether you’ve just purchased a “fixer-upper with vintage charm,” or you’re considering changes to a house that’s been in the family for generations, historic renovation projects come with their own unique set of challenges and opportunities.
From smart appliances that remember your cooking preferences to digital assistants that know when to heat up your shower or order your groceries — technology is making homes more functional and efficient every day.

Tub or Shower? “If it turns out the tub is only used for watering house plants, or worse, for the cat box, I say NO! I have learned over the years, there are ‘tub people’ and ‘shower people.'” — Kathleen Donohue, Bend Design Consultant
Small Kitchen Design: “It’s often beneficial to have a mobile surface like a prep table on casters or a table that folds out from the wall.” — Karen Richmond, Portland Design Consultant
Backsplash Tile: “Something about a handmade ceramic tile makes me swoon. The imperfect edges of each tile allow the grout to show off, and the subtle tone variations from tile to tile add character.” — Erika Altenhofen, Portland Design Consultant
Regional Differences: “In California, people are very interested in keeping up with the neighbors and resale value. In the Pacific Northwest, there is a greater attention to craftsmanship that I find really inspiring.” — Jamie Smugeresky, Seattle Design Consultant
