Some projects are about adding space. The best ones are about space AND ease. For this Sewickley, PA home, TJ Bush Enterprises delivered both by building a thoughtfully integrated addition and refreshing the interior areas that quietly power day-to-day life. The before photos (from the home’s prior listing) show a beautiful property with plenty of potential. This custom renovation focused on upgrades to make the home feel tailored. A new garage addition with outdoor living above, a true boutique-style primary closet, plus renovated hall bath, laundry, and pantry.
An Exterior Addition that Brings New Value, Inside & Outside this Sewickley Home
The new addition was designed to look like it belonged from day one. From the exterior, it reads as a natural extension of the home’s architecture, not an afterthought.
What was added:
A new garage addition
An open patio on top of the garage
A primary (master) closet built above that
This is the kind of scope that requires more than good finishes. It takes true coordination between structure, exterior detailing, drainage and waterproofing, and long-term performance planning. The result is additional square footage that feels permanent.
Custom Patio Over the (New) Garage: Private & Elevated
The open patio over the garage is the sort of feature you feel immediately. It’s functional outdoor living space that expands how the home can be used. That means enjoying morning coffee, hosting friends, or simply having a place that feels like a getaway, all without having to leave your home.
The patio was designed to be clean, comfortable, and built for real life. With defined rail lines, a covered ceiling with fans, and ample room for seating and dining. It doesn’t just compete with the home, it complements it.
The Primary Closet: Rich Wood Tones, Brass Hardware, and Boutique Details
The primary closet is one of the strongest “finish moments” in the project. The custom built-ins are done in a deep, rich wood tone that immediately sets a luxury tone. It feels like a boutique dressing room, not a standard closet.
Brass hardware adds warmth and polish, and the island with a bright countertop becomes both a focal point and a practical workspace. The layout is clean and intentional, with designated storage that makes the whole system feel easy to navigate. With a statement light fixture and custom lighting in the cabinets and shelves, we brought together style and functionality, all hours of the day.
Renovations to Elevate the Interior
Laundry Room Upgrade: Designed for the Way You Actually Use It
A laundry room renovation is rarely flashy, but it should be smart. This one is.
The updated space brings in built-in storage, a dedicated sink area, and a bright, clean palette that makes the room feel like part of the home, not an afterthought. We thought of it all: countertop space that’s usable, cabinetry that keeps supplies contained, a layout that supports the routine, and laundry chute and pull-down drying rack.
The backsplash is a small-scale geometric mosaic in soft, warm neutrals. It reads textured and layered. We then installed the flooring in a simple diamond pattern, using creamy tan tones to keep the area bright yet still compliment the texture of the backsplash. Clean counters, light cabinetry, and a streamlined sink setup keep everything seamless and practical.
Hall Bathroom: Marble-Inspired Stone, Blush Detailing, and Warm Metals
The renovated hall bathroom is where the design choices really start to speak. The shower is wrapped in large-format, marble-look tile with soft gray veining, giving it a clean, high-end feel that reads timeless rather than trendy. Built-in niches carry that same stone look through, so storage feels integrated, not like an afterthought.
To balance the crisp stone, the room brings in a blush-toned wall treatment that adds warmth and personality. Above that, a mosaic accent introduces texture and a subtle pattern moment, which keeps the space from feeling flat while still staying refined. Warm metal fixtures tie everything together, adding a polished contrast against the cooler marble tones. The result is a bathroom that feels comfortable and filled with enough character to make it memorable.
Pantry Renovation: Clean Storage, Better Flow
A renovated pantry is one of those upgrades you appreciate daily. Better storage, easier visibility, a place for everything, and a setup that supports how the kitchen is used. When it’s done well, the whole house feels more organized because the “stuff” finally has a home.
The backsplash is a warm, checkered tile in creamy neutrals that brings depth and interest without overpowering the space. It has that classic, edited look that feels right at home. Hardware plays a big role here too. The long brass pulls gave the cabinets a more custom feel. Paired with light cabinetry and subtle-veined counters, it creates a pantry that looks finished and designed, not purely utilitarian.
Existing Garage Conversion
What was once the home’s existing garage was thoughtfully reimagined into a dedicated workout room, complete with a full glass exterior doors that bring in natural light and creates an easy connection to the outdoors. It was a great way to give old space new life.
