The Starboard and Brass kitchen earned its name from the materials used for the project. The paint color, Sherwin Williams Starboard, and the brass hardware on the cabinetry were so impactful in this kitchen glow up, that we knew it had to be a part of the project name!
The Persimmon Kitchen was an incredibly fun project planned for a couple living in Denton, TX. They were the first owners of the house when it was built in 2003 and felt it was time for the kitchen to receive an update in both functionality and aesthetic. They had outgrown the oak cabinetry and warm-toned granite counters, and were ready to bring a little personality into the mix.
The Thundercrest House was built in the late 1980s and is located in Denton, Texas. Our clients are both very creative and had already put their design skills to work renovating many areas of their home. However, the bathrooms, kitchen countertops, and kitchen backsplash remained dated and didn't flow well with the rest of the house.
Our Elegant Marble Bathroom project is located in a beautiful hillside neighborhood in Highland Village, Texas. The house was built in the 90s and our clients had updated much of it, but the master bathroom was dated and awkward in layout. The angular shower partially blocked the entrance to the master closet, and narrow access to the garden tub increased the closed-in feeling in the bathroom.
Welcome to Part III of our Irwin Farmhouse before and after! If you haven’t seen Part I (kitchen, living room, sunroom and laundry room) and Part II (hall bath, guest room and kids' rooms) be sure to check those out! We shared our vision for the whole house and the scope of our renovation in Part I, and this blog is the conclusion to the renovation story.
The Irwin Farmhouse project is especially significant for us as it is our own “new” home. It may just be our favorite project to date. While we’ve renovated for ourselves before (see our most recent project at our previous house here), we always made changes one room at a time. This time we updated the entire house at once before we moved in. That enabled us to make the whole house cohesive from a design standpoint and create a space that perfectly reflects what feels like home to us.
The Family Style Galley Kitchen is in a Tudor-style home built in 1920. The house had so much character, from the diamond-pane windows in the front room to the dark wood paneling throughout, but the kitchen didn't fit the stately elegance of the rest of the house. Our clients' main goal was to open the kitchen up to the surrounding rooms. They also desired to create more space in the kitchen so the whole family could be in there together, and update the design to a blend of modern style and timeless sophistication.
The Parquet Ranch project sits on a beautiful large lot in a hidden gem of a neighborhood. It's near city amenities, but feels rural as trees hide it from the main road. The house itself was in fantastic shape, but didn't fit our clients' design taste. Built in the mid-1908s, many aspects of the house still felt tied to that decade. Our clients had dreams of creating a more open living space and revamping the surfaces of the home to reflect their mountain rustic style.
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.
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.
