Sheetrock is up!

This is one of the most exciting phases because you have all of the walls up and the house feels like a house again! Now we get to begin the creative phase of picking out tile, cabinets, wall colors, and decor that make it your own special place. Stay tuned to see bathroom transformations soon!

Reframing the Masterpiece

Vickie — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 23:17:11 +0000

We redesigned the layout of several rooms throughout the house for better use of the space. We have created a more open andinviting kitchen area that easily flows with the living room. We changed the layout in the master bedroom to allow for his and hers walk-in closets, while also enlarging the upstairs walk-in closets. The final major change came by relocating the guest bathroom to create a workout room next to the master bedroom.

Phase 1: Demolition of DLC Makeover

The tear out phase has begun! You won’t even recognize some of the rooms, because all of the flooring and walls have been removed. You might notice the beautiful stone fireplace is gone, but don’t worry, there are plans to use that somewhere else in the future. Keep your eyes out to see how we reuse it!

The last pictures show the guest house where we will be living while the DLC Makeover progresses, which has been painted, tiled, and carpeted. It has been very cozy for my husband and me living with 2 dogs, 2 cats, and a teenager all in the same room without a kitchen, but we are enjoying each step of this experience!

Before the Transformation

We have closed on the house and are very excited to begin renovations. The house was beautiful to start with, but there are a lot of changes in the works to make it our own. Stay tuned for the phase 1 of the DLC Makeover!

Bittersweet Goodbyes

Vickie — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 01:09:31 +0000

As some of you may have heard by now, Bob and I have sold our home. We’ve been here longer than any other home over the last 30 years – almost 9 years. It’s a little bittersweet. We certainly need to downsize with Jennifer and Heather gone, but we will miss the views…. they are irreplaceable.

We are considering the purchase of an existing home. It is on a beautiful lot, with great marsh views. It already has a guesthouse, which will be perfect when everyone comes “home” to visit. The house is 19 years old, has great bones, but needs a lot of TLC, or should we say DLC (Donna Lynne Custom Homes!). I’ve been doing a lot of remodeling lately so this will fit right in.

Stay tuned… I will keep you all updated with before and after pictures as we DLC the new homestead!!! In the meantime, if you know of anyone else that has a home that needs some DLC or is in the market to build his or her future dream home, please give me a call!

Donna Lynne VanPuymbrouck

When you walk into Donna Lynne Custom Homes, you are surrounded by a simple, yet warm and friendly working office. The traffic of SR200 drives by mostly unaware of the talented and generous woman, Donna Lynne Van Puymbrouk, who worked her way through the ranks in the male dominated field of custom home design earning awards, accolades and respect along the way. For 14 years, Donna Lynne Custom Homes has been focusing on the construction of higher end homes and custom remodeling.

What started as just a job working for a builder in Gainesville, Florida, almost 30 years ago, turned out to be a discovered passion. As a woman, Van Puymbrouk had to prove herself a little more and work a bit harder to climb the rungs of home construction. Learning the processes behind color selection, design elements, financing and real estate, she proudly earned her license to operate on her own and perform her ideal job.

From start to finish, she will walk you every step of the way. Whether you are building a brand new home or remodeling, you become a part of the Donna Lynne family. Your home reflects your lifestyle and you will be amazed at the choices available for your personality to shine through. Turn your dream into a reality as she guides you through the beginning concept, budgeting, picking a lot, home design, construction, choosing flooring, counters and cabinets, all they way to the last coat of paint and the final planted shrub.

With the current economy, the market has seen a slow down in the construction of new homes. Homeowners now are choosing to stay in their homes longer. If you are remodeling your home, adding a room or expanding your usable square footage by creating outdoor living spaces, she can bring a woman’s point of view to the table. Blending functionality with style, she creates designer looks that are practical and within budget.

Donna Lynne’s professionalism extends well beyond the construction industry as proven by her commitment to her family and the community. This busy wife, mother of three and avid Gator fan is involved in the following:

Regardless of how busy she appears to be, her passion is still helping you with your next project. Nothing is considered too small. She can help you find space in your home to build in a much needed closet, finally complete your backyard porch and built-in grill, add a mother-in-law suite or build your dream home from the ground up! By staying current and truly knowing the issues, the people, the laws and the ordinances, hiring a professional like Donna Lynne Custom Homes will ease the process for anyone who needs a building or construction permit in Nassau County or Fernandina Beach!
