This 1970s time capsule in Elm Grove had remained virtually untouched for decades, holding both nostalgia and untapped potential. For the homeowner, every room was filled with memories, but every inch needed a fresh start. With vision, determination, and the help of S.J. Janis, this full-home transformation reimagined every space to support modern living, functionality, and the joyful chaos of family life. Featuring a blue custom island with seating and open oak shelving that anchors the kitchen with warmth and function, a white-painted brick fireplace with color-matched built-ins to tie the living spaces together, a reading nook in the family room, and a powder room with whimsical wallpaper and matching island paint to bring charm and personality to the space.
