Halle Berry’s Beautiful Gift For Her Cherished Teacher

Actress, producer, and director Halle Berry showed her deep gratitude to her 5th grade teacher and 40-plus-year mentor, Yvonne. Halle said Yvonne was a guide and a bright light during some very difficult times in her youth and helped shape who she is today. With our help, Halle executed a stunning kitchen, dining room, and sitting room renovation for Yvonneโ€™s 1920 Cleveland, Ohio, home.

Before & After

DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS
GATHER โ€˜ROUND THE TABLE

Even since Halle was a little girl, Yvonneโ€™s kitchen has acted as a hub for family, friends, and students to gather around. So, to make her renewed โ€œcookie talksโ€ easier, we installed a peninsula with an attached wooden tabletop, so that her new prep space could double as an office space as well.

FLOOR FUNCTION

Years of kids running around had worn Yvonneโ€™s old dining room carpet down to the bones. However, once we restored the original hardwood floor below, all it took was a fresh coat of paint and a chic dining set to breathe new life into the space.

PICTURE PERFECT

Some of Yvonneโ€™s most cherished possessions are the letters sheโ€™s received from former students. So, when we revamped the study, we made sure that the new built-in shelves not only included plenty of space to display pictures of loved ones but also custom drawers to store the letters in.
