Transformation 2019-2021

Paint

It’s shocking how a new coat of paint can transform a home. Choose a color that compliments the architecture and landscape. A color you don’t see often in your neighborhood can make your home stand out but choose wisely. You want to be known as the house with the new sheik color, not the new shriek color.

first Impressions

Your first steps into a home are an opportunity to make an impression. Initially this wall, likely a structural point, was plain, awkward and unwelcoming. Nobody likes to walk straight into a wall. By creating a point of interest we’ve given the once awkward wall new purpose as a swoon worthy design feature.

Kitchen

Outdated kitchens are a great place to turn when looking to add value to a home. Not every kitchen update has to cost $20k. With cost efficiency, style and function in mind this kitchen was totally renewed. Early 90’s cabinets and a bulky built in microwave stand paired with a peninsula (island) that was not mounted to the ground. Oops. It was time for a new look and more functionality. In a Midcentury Modern home it should be all about long lines and simplicity. New cabinets in Matte black featuring almost no hardware create a modern mood. This kitchen did not have a pantry so a wall of cabinets was added for storage and the perfect hiding place for a microwave and coffee maker. A wide open kitchen creates options. By adding this 11’ oval table and stainless steal worktop on casters the space is easily transforms. Just turn the table 90 degrees, shift to the side, and roll the work top parallel to the kitchen counter top for 3x’s more prep space. The new pendant light was draped at two points so that it could shift to and from both table positions.

OUtdoor space

An outdoor living space can add so much value to a home. Bistro lights always offer a friendly evening glow to any home. A simple pergola, and sitting area pulled together by an outdoor rug and a propane fire pit will have anyone dreaming of evenings on this patio. Outdoor storage boxes were also added to help keep the inside of the home clear of clutter and seasonal items.
