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.

Challenge: Our clients needed a functional powder room in the basement of their lake house, positioned strategically next to the entrance for swimmers and guests. The space required materials that could withstand high moisture and frequent use while maintaining an inviting, modern aesthetic that would complement the relaxed lakeside lifestyle. Solution: We designed a vibrant, practical powder room that balances durability with playful sophistication. The design centers around selecting materials specifically chosen for their ability to handle moisture and heavy use without sacrificing style. By incorporating bold color elements and modern finishes, we created a space that feels fresh and energizing—perfect for the lakeside setting. Highlights: • Durable terrazzo tile flooring that withstands moisture and heavy foot traffic • Bright blue illuminated glass tile feature that adds modern vibrancy and visual interest • Strategic material selection prioritizing both functionality and aesthetic appeal • Fun, contemporary design that complements the relaxed lake house atmosphere Results: The transformed powder room now serves as a practical yet stylish transition space for swimmers and guests, combining the durability needed for lakeside living with a modern, vibrant aesthetic. This project showcases our ability to create functional spaces that don't compromise on style, proving that high-traffic areas can still deliver visual impact and personality.
