About Project

This Waukee home got a huge upgrade with a new cigar room! The living room was an open space near the stairway. With this remodel, a wall was built, creating two separate spaces - the cigar room and a small library. Adding the wall and a Jeld Wen door was important to these homeowners so they could keep the cigar smoke contained to one room. 

The new cigar room was given a fresh coat of Sherwin Williams paint, matching Benjamin Moore’s color "Balboa Mist" in a velvet finish. Custom flat-panel maple Yorktowne cabinets in “Tidal Classic” were added to create an entertainment center. 3-¾" Amerock Bar Pulls in "Golden Champagne" were added, as well as a stained walnut butcher block countertop. New Coretec LVP in a "Black Walnut" finish replaced the carpet, and new can lights and a Jonathan Y wall sconce elevate the space. 

The basement bathroom got some upgrades as well. The shower walls got new white Daltile tile, and Affinity penny tile in "Dove Grey" for the shower niche and pan. The rest of the bathroom was refreshed with new "Linear Medium Gray” tile from Daltile. New chrome Moen fixtures were added to the shower and existing vanity, and a new Tapered Corset Sconce was added above the vanity. A polished nickel Pottery Barn mirror rounds out the vanity. A custom frameless glass shower door with "Brushed Chrome" hardware was added from Bryant Glass.

The rest of the transformation took place outdoors in the addition of a screened-in porch off of the cigar room. Now the homeowners (and their cats) can enjoy the outdoors!

Review From This Raving Fan

Zenith helped us design and build a cigar room/sports cave, as well as remodel our basement bathroom. They took our broad ideas and turned them into a great finished product. The whole team has been easy to work with and very responsive to our questions and concerns. We would definitely recommend them!
