Updating a Dreary Kitchen

For many people, the kitchen is the most important room in the house.  It’s the central hub for preparing meals, connecting with family, and entertaining guests.  So, a crucial aspect of any kitchen design is that it's both functional and inviting for the lifestyle you want to live. 

My clients for this project wanted to give their kitchen a full update.  To them, it had a dark, dreary ambiance that lacked personality and style.  It also had a basic builder design that wasn’t functional for their lifestyle.  The island was awkwardly placed and only had two seats, and they also had an unused desk area that was only cluttering the space.  Finally, my clients hated the design of the existing tile floors and wanted to opt for a low-maintenance solution without grout.  

We began the redesign by changing the overall layout of the space.  I was able to reconfigure the island layout to add an additional seat.  From there we removed the desk area to create a more functional coffee area fit with doors to hide appliances when they’re not in use.  

For the flooring, we opted to install LVP tile which removed all grout lines while offering a cleaner, modern look that’s soft on the feet.  

Overall, my clients were very happy with the end result.  They now had a bright, beautiful space with all the functionality needed to match their busy lifestyle.

A Secluded, Relaxing Oasis

The hustle and bustle of the city is wonderful when you want to be productive and engage with the rich culture around you.  But there’s also nothing like the nourishment of quieter places outside the city buzz.  

My clients were ready to embrace a more relaxing lifestyle that reflects who they are today.  They purchased a secluded home outside the city in the perfect location for them.  However, the design of the home needed to be completely overhauled to make it their own.  

To begin this project, we created a vision board together to bring all of their ideas and dreams into focus.  Ultimately, they wanted a home design that would support them spending more time together and entertaining family and friends.  They also wanted it to feel like a true escape from the stressors of their busy life.  

From the first step in the front door to their comforting bedroom suite, I helped create a cohesive home design that inspires balance and relaxed living.  All this without sacrificing style and sophistication in the details.  

In addition, the kitchen, dining room, and living room all flow together more seamlessly to create the perfect ambiance for entertaining guests.  

Now, my clients absolutely love what their home offers at the end of a long day.  They’re able to fully relax, unwind, and enjoy the fruits of their labor in a nourishing environment.

From Unused Room to Inviting Office Space

With remote working on the rise, people who work from home need a comfortable, dedicated space to focus.  My clients for this project had a boring, boxy room in their house that wasn’t being used.  Now that they’re spending more time at home, they wanted to turn it into a functional and inviting office space to support their lifestyle.
But this was more than just tucking a desk into a corner of the room – my clients wanted the room to be a welcoming space for the two of them to be close while he works and she relaxes nearby.  

We began by arranging a new desk area to be the built-in focal point of the room.  The large desk and shelving layout provided ample space for him to work, with plenty of additional storage to hide his printer and books when he closed his computer for the day. 

On the other side of the room, we incorporated a comfortable chair and stylish floor lamp for her to relax and quietly read a book while he works.  

The end result was an inviting, magazine-worthy office space that offered a relaxing environment for both of them to spend time together during the day.  My clients are absolutely thrilled to have this beautiful new space in their home.
