Before & After- Open, Inviting, Defined, and Spacious Living

This is an amazing transformation.

We added an entertainment wall featuring a ventless Bio-Ethanol fireplace, a coffered ceiling, and beautiful new furnishings.  Accessories introduce a little pop of color in an otherwise neutral setting.  To keep the neutral color palette interesting, we mixed textures from the silk rug, linen like fabrics to the stone fireplace.

Each space is well defined, but at the same time, the open concept of the house is really showcased. The wood flooring in the kitchen and the ceiling details both define the room.  The entertainment wall, rug, and coffered ceiling in the living area define that space.

While we could not give the client the wood floors throughout the house they wanted, we were able to incorporate them into the re-designed kitchen.  It is a win win- major savings for the budget and a fabulous look.

As shown in the foyer photographs, the ceiling in the home was very high and lacked interest.  The foyer was a particular challenge because it did not feel special and the space was not defined.  We wanted to create separate  and more intimate spaces throughout the house.  By adding ceiling treatments to the rooms and changing the ceiling heights, the rooms actually now appear larger and the house is more open in spite of having more defined spaces.

The kitchen was totally transformed.  Before it was dark, closed in and uninviting.  The soffit was removed, the and layout was changed to one large rectangular island.  The pantry was incorporated into the cabinet design.  Again a ceiling design was added along with much needed can lighting. The white cabinets are gorgeous sitting on the rich wood floors.


This house is spectacular! We checked all of the homeowners wish boxes and then some and still came in on budget! Amazing!

Tranquil Master Bath Retreat

Tranquil, spa, retreat... are all words that could describe this master bath...
after
 We were able to modify and refinish existing cabinetry. The upper towers were removed and the cabinets were were refinished in white. Saving the shower walls and floor from demo was a nice savings to the client and the material is absolutely gorgeous with the new bathroom tiles. A beautiful slipper tub surrounded by a accent tile "rug" is showcased when you enter the room.  The etched glass panel was replaced with a simple rain glass.

Blessed & Thankful

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the Kingon family's mission trip to Haiti!  It was a huge success and it really made a difference.  As he shared his photos with me, I was reminded to spend more time giving thanks, esp. for the "little things" like my tiny dated bathroom 😉.

Amazing Kitchen Remodel

Another recently completed remodeling project that we did with Kingon Homes.  Before, the kitchen was dark, dated, and closed off and in desperate need of a redesign.  We opened up the space, dropped the ceiling and added a tray ceiling and more lighting.  The wood floor adds warmth to the space. Really this is a breathtaking transformation. We are every bit as thrilled as the clients...

Recent Project- Updating the Entertainment Wall

Before...
After...
By tearing out the old built-in, 2 feet of floor space were gained!!! The extra two feet of space really opened up the sitting area and the room now accommodates two sofas and two swivel chairs. Before, the room was cramped and felt half as large with less furniture.
The color palette was updated to whites, creams, beige and grays with punches of blues and coral.
We are so pleased with the way this project turned out it! Moving on to the living room next- watch for it in another post in the coming months...
