Tanya and Sean are high school sweethearts whose home has hosted all their big life moments. From bringing home babies to holding annual holiday parties, their house has seen a lot of love. After 15 years, their house needed a little love of its own, and that’s where we came in. We revamped the entryway, living room, dining room and kitchen to make space for more memories (and more of Sean’s legendary dance moves!).

Before & After
DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS
THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING FIREPLACE
Tanya was quick to tell us she was not a fan of the gigantic fireplace that somehow looked too dated and weirdly futuristic at the same time. We totally agreed, but having a gas fireplace was still on Tanya and Sean’s list for their redesigned living room. We installed a new mantle with a marble finish for a timeless look that took up half the space. More room and a new fireplace: hot cocoa, anyone?
NOW YOU SEE ME
Tanya and Sean’s house featured a design quirk: the only door to their amazing backyard was separated from the rest of their living space by a flight of stairs. Great for cardio, maybe, but not for everyday use. We replaced a dining room window with a door that led straight to a backyard deck and stairs, where we installed glass railing so Tanya and Sean could easily check on the kids. Now the family has direct access to their grill and the custom bean bag toss boards we painted with the kids.
ISLAND LIVING THAT KEEPS ON GIVING
The original cabinets in Tanya and Sean’s kitchen weren’t designed for today’s storage needs and appliances—they didn’t even have a dishwasher! We installed all-new appliances (including that dishwasher) and placed additional cabinets and drawers in their kitchen island. Now the only storage problem they’ll have is stocking their new wine fridge. (Sorry, guys: it wasn’t in the budget!)
