Consultation:
Our initial consultation with the client was a meet and greet in her home to view the space, get to know her needs, and analyze how we were going to make improvements. I like to go through the client’s “wish list” with them and walk through what could be possible. While there, we took measurements and “before” photos.
Our client had an open mind to our ideas and was willing to change the entire space to a whole new layout and design.
Job Scope:
This project was a complete gut job. In the kitchen we ripped out the flooring and a wall to accommodate the new design plan. Lighting and plumbing work also needed relocating.
Design Plan:
We updated the living room, dining room and master bedroom with new furnishings and window treatments. The kitchen was completely redone with new appliances, stone tops, lighting and cabinetry. The fireplace stucco was refaced with porcelain tile that coordinated with the new deign plan.
In creating this design, we totally changed the way she was functioning in these spaces. We relocated the dining room from its original location beside the kitchen to behind the living room, which now opened it up to a scenic water view. The living room area was redesigned to center around the fireplace. We chose to set the TV above the fireplace mantle, making the living room a welcoming space for watching TV or just relaxing
Our client, a widowed women who has been living in this home for 25 years, needed a fresh start with a new plan. In all of the 25 years in this home she never considered the living room as a space to relax in and watch TV. We new that situation needed to be corrected.. it was a waste of good space. We now have the space grounded correctly with the living room as center stage so she can entertain friends, unwind, or better yet, enjoy her water front view. Click here to view more photos.
