As Krista and Derek began to have kids, they knew they wanted to find a house that would give them plenty of space to grow. Not only does their current home have amazing square footage, but the surrounding neighborhood is filled with plenty of other families for their kids to play with. The only things holding them back are the choppy layout and outdated interior design. We transformed their house into a modern and functional space that will better reflect their family’s warmth and closeness.

Before & After

Renovated kitchen interior with modern appliances and seating area.

DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS

A FRESH NEW START

While their entryway led to a stunning staircase, it also featured odd design choices such as a trough and an overwhelming amount of wood trim. Since the only pet they had was a dog, not a horse, we took out the trough and repainted the wood trim a bright and elegant white.

OPEN NOT SHUT

Most of the structural issues that plagued Krista and Derek’s house could be traced back to the family room. Featuring both a dipped floor and two unwieldy support posts, it held the house back from being the modern, open-concept space they wanted. So, we removed the posts, leveled the floors, and updated the décor with comfy, yet durable furniture.

BIGGER MEANS BETTER

Once we removed the support posts, we were able to install a larger island and maximize the kitchen’s counterspace. We also replaced the hard-to-maintain, outdated tile with stunning quartz that’s easy to clean. Plus, the new beverage center, dishwasher, and personalized coffee station make hosting parties and events easier than ever.
