Sunset Haven

This extensive interior design project commenced shortly after the clients moved into their newly purchased home. Initially, we provided paint color recommendations to refresh most of the home, buying time until more specific remodels could be tackled.

The first phase focused on the Master Suite. We transformed a hall bath into a modern master bathroom featuring raised "his and hers" vanities and a spacious walk-in shower with custom finishes. The master bedroom received a fresh coat of paint and custom window treatments, specifically designed to coordinate with the new bedding.

The second phase involved remodeling the basement to create a multifunctional family area that includes a bar and game space, an updated bathroom, and a dedicated hobby/craft room. This new layout provided a versatile space for leisure and creativity.

The third and final phase was the most in-depth, involving structural changes to the home’s layout. We removed two walls that separated the kitchen and dining room from the foyer. This alteration not only opened up the space but also allowed for the expansion of the kitchen. New hardwood flooring was laid, and kitchen cabinetry, hardware, countertops, backsplash, and lighting fixtures were all meticulously selected and installed. A cohesive color palette was carried from the kitchen through the dining room, living room, hallway, and into the Jack and Jill bedrooms and bathroom. We also updated the stairway with new handrails, balusters, and stair treads. To complete the transformation, new furniture was ordered and installed throughout these areas.

Each phase of this project was executed with a keen eye for detail and a commitment to creating a space that not only meets the clients' needs but also reflects their personal style, making their house truly feel like a home.

This transformative interior design project evolved from a previously dark and segmented space into a well-lit and open environment with fresh, modern finishes. Although the overall floorplan was preserved, significant structural changes were implemented to enhance the flow and brightness of the space.

Key modifications included the removal of ceiling-mounted kitchen cabinets and the peninsula beneath them, along with a freestanding China hutch. Most of the walls between the dining room and foyer were taken down, and French doors into the living room were opened up. These changes allowed us to maintain distinct room definitions while dramatically increasing natural light and creating a more open feel.

Throughout the project, optional floor plans were discussed, narrowed down, and finalized in collaboration with the client. Cabinetry details were chosen not only for their aesthetic appeal but also for their functional storage capabilities. A lighting layout was meticulously developed based on the new floor plan and cabinetry arrangement, tailored to achieve the desired levels of illumination specified by the client.

The color palette was carefully selected to enhance the newly brightened space. A light, warm wide LVT wood plank was used throughout, paired with soft and light neutral tones on the walls. Crisp, clean whites were chosen for the trim and cabinetry, providing a fresh contrast. Additionally, pops of blue and grays in the countertops, backsplash, interior and exterior doors, and accent quilts added subtle yet impactful color accents, completing the serene and inviting atmosphere of the home.

The focus for this restaurant design was to depict landmarks and traditions of Mexico and incorporate it into the exterior and interior, but with a more modern and clean look. From the saturated colors in the logo which carried on to the walls - to the brightly colored images of pyramids, sundials or aztec details - to the exposed black ceiling it creates a prefect mix of modern restaurant design with South American heritage.
