project overview

Elevating a Home That Already Had Heart

For this project, the foundation was already there—an incredibly stylish homeowner with a clear point of view and a home full of potential. As a busy single mom of two and a successful local business owner, she needed spaces that felt not only elevated, but restorative and easy to live in.

Our role was to build on what already existed—refining, modernizing, and layering in warmth to create a home that better supported her day-to-day life.

From a brighter, more open kitchen to a primary suite that feels like a true retreat, every update was designed with intention—balancing beauty, function, and a sense of calm.

This project was as meaningful as it was transformative. Designing for someone so open, resilient, and full of heart brought a level of care and motivation that shaped every decision along the way.

Design Direction

bright, open, & refreshed

We reimagined the kitchen to feel lighter and more current—introducing updated finishes, improved flow, and thoughtful details that make the space feel both modern and welcoming.

a grounded, cozy retreat

In the primary bedroom, we leaned into a richer, moodier palette to create a sense of calm and escape—layering texture, warmth, and softness throughout.

modern updates with intention

Rather than overhauling everything, we focused on impactful changes—updated lighting, refined materials, and strategic design moments that elevate the entire home.

designed for real life

Every choice supports how she lives day-to-day—creating spaces that are not only beautiful, but comfortable, functional, and easy to maintain.

A fresh, modern update to the heart of the home.

kitchen

The kitchen transformation centered around creating a more open, airy feel while introducing modern character. The island was reimagined in a moody blue—Le Luxe by Behr—adding depth and contrast without overwhelming the space. We updated all lighting, including the island pendants and sink fixture, to bring in a more current, elevated feel. Custom millwork enhancements—like a redesigned hood and the addition of open shelving—helped visually lighten the space and create a more relaxed, lived-in look. A glossy, textured backsplash replaced a dated pattern, instantly modernizing the kitchen while still honoring the home’s architecture. New hardware throughout ties everything together with a refined, cohesive finish.

primary bathroom

A brighter, spa-like refresh designed for everyday ease.

The goal for this space was simple: transform it into somewhere she actually wants to spend time. We replaced a dark, heavy gray with a brighter, more inviting white that complements the existing cabinetry and allows natural light to do its job. The overall palette now feels warm, fresh, and calming. The shower floor is a standout moment—adding texture and personality while grounding the space. Paired with improved lighting and layered natural elements, the bathroom now feels like a true retreat.

Primary Bedroom

Where warmth meets modern elegance.

The primary bedroom was completely transformed into a moody, elevated retreat designed to feel cozy, grounded, and deeply personal. We leaned into rich tones with Black Fox walls, layered textiles, an upholstered bed, and warm wood furnishings to create an inviting oasis for our client.

The standout feature is the wallpapered ceiling paired with upgraded lighting, which instantly gave the room a custom, designer feel. Woven shades added warmth and softness throughout, while an ivory raffia-front dresser and the client’s favorite rug brought contrast and texture against the dark walls. The result is a timeless, calming space that feels both sophisticated and incredibly livable.
