When planning a home remodel, it’s often hard for homeowners to let go of some valuable items or family heirlooms. Re-purposing something old and worn is way to mix the old with the new and to achieve a custom look in your home.

Lighting is one of those essential details that should never be overlooked and when put in the right setting may never go out of style. This stunning crystal and brass chandelier may have looked dated and dusty in the once sectioned off dining room but now it’s become the statement piece and brings that wow factor to this custom walk in closet. A great vintage light fixture can set a mood, create conversation, and give that aesthetic you are looking for.

AFTER

Existing cabinets that may no longer fit in the new project design but are in good condition, can often be repainted or refinished.
