Perfectly embedded on an acre of land overlooking a pond, in the heart of Willow Bend of Plano, this dated, traditional home got more than a complete facelift. The wife is a “farmer’s daughter” and could have never imagined having a home like this to call her own one day. Finding a 15’ dining table was a tall task… especially for a family of four. Using a local craftsman, the most gorgeous white oak table was created to host everyone in the neighborhood! The clients told a lot of stories about their past and children. The designer realized that the stories were actually treasures as she incorporated their memories and symbols in every room. She brought these memories to life in a custom artwork collage above the family room mantel. From a tractor representing the grandfather, to the Russian alphabet portraying the roots of their adopted sons and some Cambodian script, there were meanings behind each piece. In order to bring nature indoors, the designer decided to demo the exterior wall to the patio to add a large folding door and blew out the wall dividing the formal dining room and breakfast room so there would be a clear sight through to the outdoors. Throughout the home, each family member was thought of. The fabrics and finishes had to withstand small boys, who were extremely active. The use of outdoor fabrics and beautiful scratch proof finishes were incorporated in every space – bring on the hotwheels.

Low-maintenance siding, a front-entry garage and architectural details make this narrow lot charmer perfect for beginning families and empty-nesters. An abundance of windows and open floor plan flood this home with light. Custom-styled features include a plant shelf, fireplace, two-story ceiling, kitchen pass-thru and French doors leading to a porch.

I aimed to make this unit more coastal cottage chic. I used a palette of greens, golds, texturally-rich fabrics, jute, and distressed/reclaimed woods.

We had a budget of $1000. New bed using existing mattress, new side tables, new lamps, new slipper chair, new chest of drawers, new bedding, new window panels....all for $750! The artwork is by our favorite Danielle Kyberd Photography - see more of her work at www.daniellekyberd.com
