Modern Kitchen Transformation

Modern Kitchen Transformation – This kitchen was a lot of fun to work on in part because the “Before” space was so different from the new design. Every phase of the project felt fresh and exciting because of the changes happening in the space.

Here is a before photo looking towards where Tubs are sitting in the photo above. You can see the flat roof and soffit that was ripped out to reveal the roof lines of the shed along with several other changes!

Here’s another before photo showing the booth and built-in soffit we got rid of to make more room for countertops and cabinets. We added stone to the pillar in the picture as well as other areas around the home. The clients now use their beautiful dining room every day!

Cozy Scandinavian Living Rooms

At the first sign of cold weather, our homes enter their own kind of hibernation. Throwing out a candle is coming out. We surround ourselves with more light and greenery to make up for the lack of sunlight and dull trees outside our windows. And we, of course, retreat to one of the most beautiful places in the house: the living room.

Interior Makeovers To Suit Your Style

Interior Makeovers To Suit Your Style – I was recently in line behind a mother at Hobby Lobby with a small child, returning a lamp she had just purchased. As her little boy was writhing and crying, he was clearly not happy with the decoration of his home, he sighed to the cashier, this is 4.

The returns I made in a week, this project is no longer fun!” Her statement got me thinking about what I as an Interior Designer could do to help her make her room renovation a fun and easy experience. I’m a mom myself, to 3 kids all under 9, so I get something like taking them to the grocery store. I try to avoid all costs, these days mostly by shopping online. While I used to take those regular mom trips to Target, aimlessly perusing each section with pure joy, buying things I never … Read the rest

Exterior Makeover: Before And After

Exterior Makeover: Before And After – If you are thinking about modernizing the stucco of an old house, it does not have to be scary. For our renovation project to update the exterior of our home, we couldn’t believe how many changes we could make. Not only did we redo the plaster, we replaced the windows, replaced the front door, added wood accents, and changed the landscaping, to name a few. The before and after pictures of this exterior update show the incredible remodeling update that brought new life to our home.

We recently purchased a traditional stucco house from the 90’s and wanted to update the stucco exterior for more curb appeal. The exterior of our house was very dated and was in dire need of modernization and a completely different look. It has been transformed from an old stucco house to a gorgeous newly renovated stucco house with … Read the rest

Japanese Inspired Tea Room Remodel

Japanese Inspired Tea Room Remodel – Located near the city of Český Těšín, Czech Republic, and designed to serve as a small resting place for visitors to Hrabinka Lake is a beautiful looking building called the Tea House Pavilion. The Tea House Pavilion was designed by Slovakian studio Grau Architects and is a new lamp-like structure with Japanese design elements. It serves as a place to relax and unwind for those who want to relax after spending some time at the lake, or simply look out over it from a chair.

The pavilion was built using spruce, plywood, and white cloth, and is a modern interpretation of traditional Japanese architecture. This is seen in the use of materials, and the simple but complex nature of the structure. It features a low table in the middle, which can be used for tea parties, or other necessary time alone. The spruce wood … Read the rest

The Power Of Paint In Interior Renovation

The Power Of Paint In Interior Renovation – Have you ever seen something on Pinterest or Instagram that you just had to try for yourself? When inspiration strikes, sometimes the best time to find it is NOW, before you overthink it. I worked on a really fun and spontaneous mural project this week in our playroom and I’m so happy with the results! My body aches from every painting but it was totally worth every brushstroke.

The inspiration for this project came from this amazing bathroom painting by Vintage Revivals, designed by the amazingly talented artist based in Minnesota, Colleen Elizabeth.
