Mike & Sophia

After renting for more than a decade, Mike and Sophia were more than ready to be homeowners. The young couple moved to Las Vegas last year for a job opportunity and were ready to upgrade to an open-concept home with a large yard for their two energetic pups. We found them a spot that delivered on all their must-haves, including a fireplace, a pool, and a spa-like bathroom that, although a bit outdated in style, was a fairly new build without any major structural issues.

Before & After

DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS
OUT WITH THE STONE, IN WITH THE NEW

The home’s previous owners had built an eye-sore of a peninsula out of rock that looked more at home outdoors than in. And on top of being ugly, it also totally blocked the flow of traffic. We quickly took a sledgehammer to the monstrosity and replaced it with a much more pleasing island that’s perfect for entertaining—and we knocked out the wall between the kitchen and dining room to give Mike and Sophia the open-concept layout they were looking for. Additionally, we installed new Shaker-style cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and marble-look quartz countertops, which all make for an elegant and functional kitchen.

MAKE EVERY DAY SPA DAY

One of the couple’s must-haves was an spa-like master bath. To accomplish this, we tore out everything and put in a large double vanity, borrowed square footage from the master closet to create an oversized walk-in shower set off by a fixed glass panel, and installed this gorgeous, freestanding tub. Grey herringbone tile flooring is durable and elegant, and the same gold fixtures used throughout the rest of the house offer a youthful finishing touch.

A FIREPLACE THAT MAKES A STATEMENT

Mike and Sophia plan on doing lots of entertaining in the years to come, so it was important to create a cozy space to host friends and family. And what’s more cozy than a fireplace? We replaced the home’s wood-burning unit with a gas model, built a new mantel, and topped it off with a bold, geometric marble tile to really make this feature pop. The result is a classic statement piece that adds a cozy but modern touch to the home’s main indoor gathering place.
