With the piano relocated to the opposite corner of the room, we can open up the space for conversation. The fireplace is a welcoming highlight to the room. An asymmetrical arrangement on the mantle allows the eye to rest on the collector vases this homeowner has. Family photos that our client loves become a collection on the side table.

I'm all about neutral walls & colorful pieces! This room is my favorite room in the house, it's really where we spend 99.999% of our time, I love the calming blue couch & chair, and how everything came together decor wise from our little apartment on the water! The blue of the couch is a really versatile color, can look grey or navy. A little fall refresh is super easy with a burnt orange throw and some soft mock burlap pillows!

Goals While their home provided them with enough square footage, the original layout caused for many rooms to be underutilized. The closed off kitchen and dining room were disconnected from the other common spaces of the home causing problems with circulation and limited sight-lines. A tucked-away powder room was also inaccessible from the entryway and main living spaces in the house. Our Design Solution We sought out to improve the functionality of this home by opening up walls, relocating rooms, and connecting the entryway to the mudroom. By moving the kitchen into the formerly over-sized family room, it was able to really become the heart of the home with access from all of the other rooms in the house. Meanwhile, the adjacent family room was made into a cozy, comfortable space with updated fireplace and new cathedral style ceiling with skylights. The powder room was relocated to be off of the entry, making it more accessible for guests. A transitional style with rustic accents was used throughout the remodel for a cohesive first floor design. White and black cabinets were complimented with brass hardware and custom wood features, including a hood top and accent wall over the fireplace. Between each room, walls were thickened and archway were put in place, providing the home with even more character.

This small living room was updated with bold patterns and loads of color. We reupholstered vintage cane chairs in a hot pink geometric fabric for an unexpected twist! The acrylic coffee table and mirror above the fireplace bounce light to make this small space feel open and spacious, yet cozy.

Classic Lines. The fireplace is a fresh yet timeless satin grey, with a bed of river stones laid in the hearth, for a grounded, modern earthy vibe. Chair by CB2, Mirror by West Elm. Both items were selected for their curvaceous lines, to contrast the austere boxiness of the built in bookshelf and brick fireplace.

The existing wood paneling is a very nice feature to this space. Although the space is small, we maximized every inch by turning the furniture on an angle & placing the TV over the fireplace. Placing a large area rug helped to warm up & anchor the furniture.

Brick fireplace is the focal point in this Living room.

This remodel was for a family moving from Dallas to The Woodlands/Spring Area. They wanted to find a home in the area that they could remodel to their more modern style. Design kid-friendly for two young children and two dogs. You don't have to sacrifice good design for family-friendly.
