Our Favorite Details – Bathroom Edition

2017-11-29T13:05:30-05:00November 29th, 2017|Bathroom, Design Tips|

Over the years and through all kinds of projects, we've collected some favorite details that just seem to finish the job well. We pride ourselves in regularly paying attention to details in all projects. They are just as important to the overall finish of a space as the big items, and we believe they are often the little touches that enhance functionality for the client. Some of these details were our idea, some were requested by our clients, but all made a difference in their respective spaces. Here are our favorite details - bathroom edition!

Franklin Farmhouse – Before & After

The Franklin Farmhouse was a very fun project for us! Our clients were long-time friends who had moved back to the area after years of living out of state, and their modern farmhouse style is very similar to the style we prefer for our own home. The house is in an ideal location on a lot with plenty of elbow-room and lots of mature trees. Built in the early 1990s, the house was the perfect size for a growing family, yet felt bland and generic. Our clients' goals were to increase the functionality of the house for their family's needs while also updating the style of the home.

Midcentury Modern Bathroom – Before & After

Our Midcentury Modern Bathroom project is one of our favorite transformations to date! Our clients' master bathroom was cramped and out of style. They both have fantastic design taste and knew there was potential for a more functional and aesthetically-pleasing space. Our main goals in this project were to make the bathroom feel larger without increasing its footprint and revamp the design in midcentury modern style.

Coastal Kitchen – Before & After

The Coastal Kitchen project took place at a newer home (built in early 2000's) in Denton, TX. The house was in great shape, but the brown tones in the kitchen didn't match our clients' style. They desired more flow between their kitchen and living room and didn't like the bi-level island or dividing archway that split the two spaces. One main goal was to gain island space in order to make the kitchen more functional for entertaining.

The Texas Gate House – Before & After

The Texas Gate House is located outside town down a windy rural road. Set on over 2 acres and built in 2000, the Texas Gate House is the ideal country farmhouse complete with a large front porch and dormer windows. It earned its name from the cattle guard at the entrance of the long driveway. Cattle guards are humorously called "Texas Gates" in Canada where Kelley grew up, and the name stuck.

Coach’s Quarters – Before & After

The Coach's Quarters farmhouse style renovation project took place at a home on a beautiful tree-filled lot in a rural neighborhood. Our clients had been in the house for years and had completed projects before, but were ready to overhaul the kitchen, living room and master bathroom to update the main floor to a more current style.

Nottingham Woods Modern Kitchen – Before & After

2017-04-24T06:14:17-05:00April 24th, 2017|Before & After, Kitchen|

The Nottingham Woods Modern Kitchen project is located in a highly-coveted area in Denton with mature trees, lots of parks and well-established homes. Built in the mid-80s, the Nottingham Woods house was in excellent repair but our clients desired a more up-to-date kitchen that aligned with their style.

Modern Farmhouse Bathroom – Before & After

This project was especially exciting as it was our own master bathroom! While the room had great bones, the design was decades out of date (cultured marble and seashell sinks!). The tiled wall enclosing the tub/shower cut the room in half, making it feel small and cramped. The vaulted ceiling added great interest, but the design didn't utilize its potential as a feature in the room. We had ample counter space on the long vanity, but cabinet storage was lacking due to the outdated vanity cutout. While we appreciated the closet storage space, the old sliding door had been removed and the curtain separating the closet from the bathroom made the transition feel cluttered.

The Honey House – Before & After

The Honey House was built in the late 1990's and is located in a prominent Denton neighborhood. The house had great bones and was in excellent condition, but our clients wanted a more open layout for hosting their growing family and friends and a more updated feel. The goal was to transform the home's traditional look (heavy with dark wood) to a lighter, airier farmhouse style. The family welcomed two new grandchildren in the past several months and Honey is our client's "grandma name", so "Honey's House" became The Honey House.

The Redemption House – Before & After

When we first saw the property we would come to call “The Redemption House,” it was uninhabitable. Built in 1916, it had been added onto more than once, yet the latest work seemed to have been in the 1970s. While it was in a coveted historical area in Denton, it had been vacant for quite a while and was badly overgrown and neglected.
