Elaine & Skee

Jump to a section

Elaine and Skee love their small house, but they love their neighborhood school even more. Now, with three kids, Elaine and Skee knew something had to change, and it definitely wasn’t going to be the school! We reworked their entire house to help the kids enjoy their own fun space, while giving their parents a new layout to enjoy with the entire family.

Before & After

DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS

ONE BATHROOM TO RULE THEM ALL

We gave Elaine and Skee a choice: one big bathroom for the whole family, or two small bathrooms, so they would have their own. They did what parents do: they sacrificed their own needs for the kids. Now they have a big tub to help with bath time, and a gorgeous tile wall that brings color and design into a much more welcoming space.

WELCOME TO KID CENTRAL

Elaine and Skee’s living room had become the playroom for the kids, who also ignored their bunk beds and all crammed into one bed at night. Knowing they’d still want to spend time together in their newly designed home, we created two small bedrooms with a secret door (for kids only!) between them, and a hallway space full of shelves and storage for their toys. Now they can play with each other like they always do, but also have a little bit of room to themselves.

PASTEL PARADISE

Elaine and Skee asked us to bring a little bit of color into their new kitchen, so we kept it light and used a mix of pastels to complement their wood-tone cabinets and veined countertops. We even brought colored tile to the kitchen island and the aforementioned bathroom, so the whole house reflected the cheerful, happy family who lives there.
