This colorful whole home remodel was designed for a retired couple who wanted to creatively express their personalities in the home they had lived in for 15  years. The couple combined two styles: he preferred American traditional and classic looks; she was attracted to fun, contemporary, and arty ideas. They both loved to cook and have their grandchildren over for family meals. The home needed to integrate some of the couple’s inherited antiques while presenting a modern feel and balancing the couple’s styles. While staying within its existing footprint with no walls removed, the home was dramatically transformed.

All new lighting fixtures, window casings, and flooring now set the stage from top to bottom for the bright elements brought into the home. In the kitchen, the layout integrates effectively with the living space while encompassing much more storage and making it easy to cook with visiting grandkids. In the living space, wider glass doors were designed to capture the outdoor living area and the view beyond. The home is now eclectic, bright, and fun, with a fresh take on contemporary design.
