Before & After

DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS

SEEING GREEN

So, let’s talk about those cabinets: Allie and Ben were big into the rich, deep green in the inspiration home’s living room, but that home’s kitchen cabinets were a more muted, sea green. So, they wanted a colorful kitchen, but were willing to go bolder … so why not both? We went with the bolder green that stood out to them, combined with gold hardware they liked and a handmade, artisan tile backsplash to provide the classic element they wanted.

FIREPLACE REPLACED

Sometimes, you can go too open-concept and lose all sense of how a home is supposed to flow from one room to the next. Upon entering Allie and Ben’s house, you were lost in space: the living area had a three-sided fireplace and a half-wall as its only defining characteristic. We took out the fireplace and created a new feature wall with a real wow factor: a floor-to-ceiling mural that nicely complemented the colors throughout the rest of the renovation.

WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE

The previous laundry room was cramped and in need of repairs, so we broke through the wall to the underused pantry and gave the whole space a top-to-bottom remodel, including a new sink and dedicated space for the washer and dryer. We brought color into the room through new floor tile, which you always want to put down in an area like a laundry room that’s exposed a lot to water. Plus, it just looks cool!
