BEFORE AND AFTER: MASTER BEDROOM RETREAT

A master bedroom should be a true space of relaxation and serenity. The feel of this bedroom is focused on deep colors and soft fabrics that allow for the ultimate retreat experience. Before, this bedroom was very bright, with whites and pinks. By creating a deep navy accent wall to ground and focus the space, new furniture with light tones and soft upholstery could be introduced. Custom pillows and bench fabric coordinate with a modern window dressing. The fireplace was transformed with a sleek yet cozy stack stone and leathered granite hearth. And finally, bold modern artwork was introduced to fully focus this space.

BEFORE AND AFTER: WHITE AND BRIGHT KITCHEN

A white kitchen is a dreamy kitchen! This kitchen was a perfect design transformation, mainly because of the perfect bones. Before, this kitchen had pops of seafoam that brought a late 80’s color scheme into the mix. By keeping the existing cabinets and perimeter counters, a cool and neutral color scheme was effortlessly introduced. Deep engineered hardwood was added for contrast. A rustic butcher block custom island was also added for contrast and warmth. Walls were painted a neutral gray, and drop down pendants were added for additional warmth. Eclectic accents with a pop of color finished off this space to be an inviting and bright space.

BEFORE AND AFTER: SPACIOUS GREAT ROOM

This great room truly exemplifies the meaning of GREAT! Before, this spacious room housed many pieces of furniture, along with a large entertainment center, and desk area. Now, minimal pieces allow the room to breathe, and set a backdrop for the beautiful view out of the tall windows. Deep engineered floors were added to replace cream carpet, this allows for contrast to the neutral walls. A new and larger ceiling fan was added to match the contrast of the floors. The TV was moved above the fireplace to create on focal wall. This allowed for a large transitional sectional to be the main furniture piece of this room. Cozy fabrics and bohemian prints were added in throw pillows and rugs to give this room a soft and casual feel.

ECLECTICALLY REFINED FORMAL LIVING ROOM

A great formal living space should boast formality but also functionality. What is a great room if you can’t get cozy in it? This living room was once a formal dining space, and has now been transformed into a great cozy space off the front entrance. Deep engineered hardwood floors replaced a carpet/ceramic tile mix to provide contrast to neutral gray walls. Light sheers and end panels allow for natural light to flood this space. A cozy gray rug brings warmth to the center of this room, framing the way for a subtle dose of formal living room furniture. A clean white chest is added for eclectic decor, a formal love seat grounds the space, and a trendy high-back arm chair gives personality. Doses of soft yellow, mixes of silver and gold, and multi tonal wood finishes allow this room to be perfectly eclectic.

BEFORE AND AFTER: CHARMING LAUNDRY ROOM

This charming laundry room was transformed in a few simple ways. Before, seafoam blue and purple were the bright focus of this room. Blue and white ceramic tile was replaced with engineered hardwood. The bright purple wallpaper was toned down with almond paint for a bright and clean look. The existing seafoam counter was to remain, so charming and quirky custom draperies were added to tie in the unique colors.

BEFORE AND AFTER: PRETTY LITTLE POWDER ROOM

This small but mighty space was just waiting for a fresh remake! Once decked out in an early 90’s flare, this powder room was given fresh elements that feel relaxing and intriguing at the same time. A deep engineered flooring replaced ceramic tile floor for a deep contrast. The walls were painted a neutral gray to allow beautiful wallpaper as the focal point of this room. The wallpaper contains bits of metallic silver, brown, and gray for an earthy feel with a pop! New classic plumbing fixtures were added to nod in a traditional direction. A reclaimed mirror with rich wood, and a clean oil rubbed bronze fixture finish this pretty little powder room.

TUSCAN TRADITIONAL KITCHEN

The vision for this galley style kitchen started with the homeowner's desire for a fresh, yet Tuscan-traditional look. This narrow space did not allow for decorative lighting, or an expansive island, so the unique details of this design allow this kitchen to stand out with personality and charm. Before, the kitchen was comprised of laminate cabinets, with mid-way uppers. The new design involved hand glazed wood cabinets that reach to the ceiling to both properly fill the space, and provide extra storage. The cabinets were designed with unique elements such as large decorative corbels, and braided moldings. Oil rubbed bronze lattice hardware was added for a pop of contrast, which coordinates with the decorative faucet. The main feature of this kitchen is the custom designed copper hood. To set this space apart from being a mostly "milky" tone, a huge contrast of copper metal was added to draw the eye in, and breakup the cabinets. A Tuscan inspired masterpiece!

BEFORE AND AFTER: PERFECTLY POLISHED DINING ROOM

A dining room truly transformed! From a dated feel with carpet, polished brass, and tone on tone salmon, to a fresh polished chrome and cool blue setting, this room is now inviting and relaxing for fine dining. This transformation started from the floors up. "Greige" high quality laminate floors replaced white carpet to create a fresh transitional look. To open up the space to the sunken living room below, the acrylic railing was removed completely. The walls were scaled to a cool blue, and ceilings to a light beige. The large built-in unit was painted a deep "greige" to accent the flooring, yet pop off the walls. Polished chrome hardware was added to the unit for an additional pop of character, and a new leathered granite top was added for hot serving. In addition, an existing piece of artwork was reframed to coordinate with the deep granite. Most of the furniture in this space was re-used to effortlessly transition the client into their new space, yet one show stopping piece was added with a new exciting accessories. A unique rustic chic credenza was added to the far wall to create a contrast from the sleek lines in this clean and polished room. The final item, and fixture that brings the entire room together is the polished chrome chandelier. This chandelier served as the anchor for this space. Replaced from a dated heavy crystal fixture, this new polished light creates linear beauty over the dining table, and ties in all the new polished elements in the room.

BEFORE AND AFTER: MODERN AND FRESH KITCHEN

By far the most show stopping areas of this home's project, this kitchen was a true transformation. Before, this space was a mainly pink and salmon color scheme. Harsh fluorescents from the ceiling cast down bright light onto ceramic tile floors. Tone on tone cabinets and counter tops left a heavy feeling rather than open and airy. A mirrored backsplash caused distraction rather than opening the space up. Now, the kitchen is modern and fresh, with lighting and clean white cabinets as the show stopping elements. A reconfigured ceiling was added to accommodate beautiful pendant lighting in both the kitchenette and island area. A multi-tonal ceiling color was used for a layered look. All existing cabinets were repainted and outfitted with new brushed nickel hardware. Glamorous and shiny backsplash mosaic was added for a unique element, and all new stainless appliances update the overall feel. To top off this modern kitchen, a sophisticated and beautiful dining set was added to encompass the feeling of this space; modern, yet fresh.

BEFORE AND AFTER: REFRESHED DEN

This space was once lacking the "cozy" and comfortable feel a true den should. However, this space in unlike most dens. This room is open to most of the spacious open-concept home, so incorporating the cool and sophisticated feel of the rest of the home was of great importance. This design was achieved by using the cool blue and slate color scheme to flow into the den, while adding new cozy carpet and a custom designed built-in unit for a cohesive feel. Rather than purchasing new furniture for this space, custom reupholstering was used to refresh and revitalize the sofas. New pillows, and a new lamp were added for a pop of color and pattern. Existing floor lamps were tinted from polished brass to brushed nickel to coordinate with the new look. To complete this room, a custom work of art was framed with a sleek brushed finish.

BEFORE AND AFTER: LIGHT AND BRIGHT LIVING ROOM

This formal living room has large unique windows that gradually increase in height to the left. They also take advantage of beautiful outdoor views. Before, the windows were heavily draped with both a large cornice and both side panels and sheers. A large amount of furniture crowded the room, and distracted from the beautiful views.  Transitioning this room focused on cool and crisp blues, with a gorgeous tan ceiling, rather than white. For this client, reusing existing furniture was of great importance. By using pieces already in the room, and introducing a few new items, the new furniture layout gives a fresh and appealing feel. The furniture now focuses around the large window for bird watching, and views of the outdoors. For the windows, two beautifully sleek side panels are introduced to create a modern look. With clean chrome finials, and formal embroidered fabric, the new drapery finishes off this clean and fresh look... and of course, matching throw pillows are icing on the cake!

This large foyer was once completely tone-on-tone salmon, now transformed to a slate blue and taupe color palate that is truly inviting. New laminate wood floors bring warmth to the space, while a blue and gray ikat rug spring personality into the room. The focal point of the room, a large iron and cast console, centers the space with chic accessories. Mixing raw elements like driftwood and rustic metals, with modern metallics brings uniqueness to this table scape. The room ties together with a bold bronze pair of mirrors.
