Reno Relief: John & Lynn

John and Lynn love their home’s ample space and beautiful backyard. They watched their two daughters grow up there and couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. But after 10 years of struggling to agree on a style and layout that worked, they decided to bring in reinforcements.

We took the reins, revamping the kitchen, living areas, and deck in a way that finally makes everyone happy.

Design Highlights

Coming Together

Previously, John and Lynn’s living room arrangements were split between the media center in one corner and the fireplace in another. We brought both features together against one wall so that the family has a united hub they can gather around.

Clarity Through Compromise

Lynn likes modern, while John prefers traditional and blue colors. We found a compromise by including different elements like wood accents and a blue-gray backsplash that managed to incorporate both their tastes.

The Great Outdoors

The beautiful environment outside is what drew the couple to this home in the first place, but the patio was unlevel and the pergola was falling apart. We spruced up the deck so now it’s a beautiful and safe place where the family can hang out.
