It’s been a while since we’ve had the fun of a before & after post, and now that the dust is settling from COVID, it was finally time to get some shots of our latest design and build! (Really, it’s our FIRST design & build) We were fortunate enough to have been brought on by our build “coach”, Trace Baron at Baron Construction (thanks for the guidance, friend!) to assist in the project and eventually finish it off so his team could move on.
I have to admit, the first time I walked through this home, I saw the potential, but also was a little intimidated by the amount of work that was needed to get this space where it deserved to be. Thank goodness we all hung in there, despite it taking MUCH longer than initially anticipated. The homeowners were such troopers, and we’re thrilled to say that we made some amazing friends through this process.
A Place to Indulge
We all know a kitchen is where we cook, where we gather with guests, but what is a kitchen when it is our vacation home? It’s a place to indulge. A place for a cappuccino, a cocktail, or a special meal with a loved one.
A Place for Relaxation
Who wouldn’t want to sit in this lovely room soaking up the sun, or on a cold day curling up next to the fire? It felt so good to breathe new life into this home, and to see our homeowners come in with their fantastically stylish furnishings was the icing on our cake!
A Place for Guests
A bathroom should always feel light and bright, never dark and dingy. This updated space offered some sparkle and glamour while utilizing the existing fantastic cast-iron tub.
A Place for Self-Care
This bathroom was TIGHT. Narrow with a 90-degree turn to reach the toilet/shower “compartment”. Simply relocating the closet gave so much more space, and still plenty of closet storage.
A Place to Clean
This room was in a sad state. I know that a laundry room is not always the TOP priority, but this one gave me the heebie-jeebies. How can anyone feel as though they are cleaning their home when stepping into a space that feels inherently dirty? We reused the existing cabinets with a spot of paint and gave this space the refresh that it deserved.
A Place for Recreation
A Place For Solace
This dated bedroom-turned-studio now glows in the sunlight, feeling brighter, despite the darker colors!
This project was full of adventure, collaboration, and energy. We were so lucky to have the mentorship of Trace Baron as he invited us to participate and eventually manage the final stages of the build. Beyond the fantastic mentorship, we had amazing trusting clients to allow us to step in as a brand new design-build team to finalize this project.
