Sophisticated • Timeless • Pops of bold color • Elegant • Stylish lighting
After beating breast cancer last year, Jennifer and her husband, Alex, were ready for a fresh start. A big part of that meant finding the home of their dreams—and a big part of that meant selling their current house for top dollar. The place had good bones, including a breathtaking view from the living room, so it didn’t need a complete overhaul. But we still found plenty to do, like combining the kitchen and living room, upgrading the kitchen appliances, and installing hardwood floors throughout. Keep reading to see the full transformation and all the fun we had with the custom design details.

Before & After
DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS
OFFICE SPACE
We knew immediately that we wanted to turn the bedroom situated right by the front door—which belonged to Jennifer and Alex’s daughter, Hope—into an office. But not your typical office! We painted the walls a deep charcoal green and added stylish lighting, furniture, and decor that we knew would catch buyers’ attention the moment they enter the house.
FOCAL FIREPLACE
Even before the renovation, this living room was a showstopper thanks to its floor-to-ceiling peaked window and stunning views. But the rest of the space needed to step up its game. After taking down walls to pave the way for clear sightlines from the front door, we made major changes to the fireplace: moving it from a cramped corner toward the center of the room, adding a beautiful white quartz surround, and building simple millwork up to the ceiling.
TEXTURED TILES
This kitchen is now nearly unrecognizable! We merged it with the dining room, added two-tone cabinetry, and installed a truly enormous island that can accommodate a family of any size. In addition to those big changes, we implemented more subtle upgrades—like this cloud-colored backsplash with a diagonal weave. This bit of texture adds visual interest as well as value to the home.
