Ada & James

Timeless • Open • Flowing • Bright • Like an upscale gallery

“House of oddities” is a spot-on description for Ada and James’s home when we first saw it. From the weird diagonal flooring to the clunky fireplace surround to the misguided DIY mudroom to the abundance of windows and recessed lights, there was a lot holding this place back from getting top dollar on the market. Luckily, they were all (relatively) easy fixes. Once we got the kitchen, living and dining rooms, and master suite updated and completely functional, we added custom design touches to make this home extra special—and extra appealing to potential buyers!

Before & After

Modern kitchen with island and stools
DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS
MASTER MARBLE

One of the most valuable upgrades we made to this house was the overhaul of the master bathroom. After changing the location of the entry and adding a pocket door, we got to work adding tile and fixtures that evoke a glamorous, spa-like feel. While the double vanity is a total showstopper—check it out in the before and after gallery above—there’s also beauty tucked away in the shower with this honed marble.

GOOD AS GOLD

We remodeled the kitchen by shuffling around the existing cabinetry and bringing in additional cabinets in a neutral hue. To increase saleability, we also upped the size of the island and installed a state-of-the-art appliance package. Finally, it was time for some elegance and sparkle in the form of this geometric marble and brass backsplash—it replaced a hideous faux brick tile that reminded us of a bad rash.

SITTING PRETTY

The master bedroom got a refresh with a new set of doors, a fresh color palette, and comfy furniture and linens. After all that, there was still enough space to stage a sitting area filled with cozy textures and soft shades. (Can’t you picture yourself curling up in one of those chairs with a good book?) This is now a master bedroom that will help sell the house.
