Interior Remodel — Main Floor
A main-floor interior remodel — new corner bay windows, custom built-ins, an exposed oak beam, and wide-plank oak flooring laid by hand. Shown across three weeks of build progress so you can see what the work actually looks like, not just the reveal.
Scope
Main-floor interior remodel — bay windows, built-ins, oak floors, exposed oak beam
Timeline
10–14 weeks
Completed
2026
The owners wanted the main floor opened up around two bay windows in a corner of the home, with a custom built-in framing the seating area, an exposed oak beam carrying through the ceiling line, and continuous wide-plank oak flooring tying every room together.
What we did
- New corner bay window install — black-framed double-hung units, lined up dead level across both walls
- Custom built-in framing on the seating wall (oak top, painted base)
- Exposed solid oak beam installed across the ceiling line, scribed tight to existing drywall
- Wide-plank European oak flooring laid throughout — every board hand-set and glued, blue tape holding the seams while adhesive cured
Build sequence
This project is documented across three weeks of mid-build:
- Bay window install — the new corner units landing with factory stickers still on
- Built-in framing — the substrate for the window-seat built-in going up
- Oak beam install — the heart of the ceiling line, dropped in
- Oak floor install — wide planks laid one at a time, secured with painter’s tape while the glue set
Finish notes
- Windows: black-framed double-hung, full-divided-light grid
- Beam: solid white oak, natural finish
- Floor: wide-plank European white oak, glue-down, natural finish
- Built-in: oak top, painted-base, integrated with the new bay
How We Built It
From the job site.
Real footage from the build. Tap to play — videos load on demand.
Day 1 — framing the built-in bench
The structural OSB shell of the L-shape built-in bench. The skin gets the glory in finish photos; the substrate is what makes the piece sit dead-flat against the wall.
Day 2 — first oak plank install
The first oak plank lands on the bottom edge of the bench. It sets the horizontal line every other plank on the bench will reference — level once, scribe carefully, the rest follows fast.
