Project

West U Modern Traditional

We updated this West University kitchen a few years ago by replacing the outdated light box over the island with the perfect pendants, swapping the tired granite countertops with Caesarstone, and adding interest with classic subway tiles arranged in a herringbone pattern. Recently we circled back again to update the cabinet doors to a more modern front, then added all new hardware and fantastic paint colors for a wow factor. These small, thoughtful details add up to a space that feels fresh, fun, and beautifully finished.

Fun Mixed Use Room

This mixed use room morphs from a kids' hang out spot to a guest room in the blink of an eye. Take a look around and see if you can guess how? If you say I spy the murphy bed behind the pair of gorgeous leather chairs then you win the prize!

Glenmont Home Office

We were asked by these repeat clients to help make final selections to pull their home office together. Luckily we completed this project just before crazy corona shut the world down. This is definitely a home office we would love to be quarantined in.

Project

Modern Traditional Dining Room

We updated this gloomy dining room and could not be happier with the results. Read more about the small but impactful changes we made on our blog...

Project

The owners of this home had plenty of pieces they loved, but no vision for pulling them together for a cohesive design. In their words, their home decor had an "identity crisis." Their home, the Whole House Project, has become our shining example of what can be accomplished through intuitive listening and a collaborative process. We took a mismatched collection of belongings and transformed it to a perfect reflection of the client's personality and lifestyle. Custom upholstery, casegoods, and the client's own hand-selected artwork were combined for a space that is equal parts curated, cohesive and oh so comfortable.

Project

Glenmont Master Bedroom

We met this sweet young couple when they were expecting their first baby and helped them remodel their master bathroom. They reached out to work with us again shortly before their new baby turned one to update several rooms in their home including their master bedroom. Look for more details on the blog soon but until then enjoy some of our favorite views of this colorful but tranquil master bedroom...a perfect retreat for young new parents.

Project

Durness Project

We have had the honor of working with the clients at the Durness Way Project for several years as we have updated their home in phases. We began with their more casual living room before eventually transforming their entire downstairs. As their lifestyle changed to include two children in college—and, consequently, two tuitions—our approach transitioned with it. Our focus shifted to creating the most impact within their budget. Rather than completely renovating the kitchen, we opted to perform a mini-facelift. We came up with creative ways to transform the space, like new lighting, window treatments, and a wall color to tie together their hard surface selections. We accessorized with colorful accents and sourced new dining chairs to create a fun, updated space where they can live their day-to-day and enjoy school breaks as a family.

Project

Glenmont Bathroom

The owners of the Glenmont House noticed a leak in their downstairs ceiling that revealed an issue in their upstairs bathroom. Before we began our work, the bathroom had been taken down to the studs. Our selections included a magnificent herringbone tile floor, a custom vanity and cabinets, a new soaking tub, and a shower built for two (or three, as our client welcomed their first child as the project was wrapping up). We were thrilled to be called back to work on their master bedroom, dining room, and downstairs study. Stay tuned for images of those completed spaces.

Project

The Teas Project home sustained major damage during Hurricane Harvey and the entire downstairs area needed a full renovation as a result. We enlarged the opening between the family room and kitchen, making room for a larger kitchen island. Bigger is always better, especially in Texas y'all!

Project

New Traditional Coastal Living Room

This living room has continued to evolve over the years as the children in the house grow. We updated the furniture and arrangement from two sofas (one a sectional) to two longer slipcovered stunners, replete with performance fabrics, and added two swivel chairs for more seating space. It's definitely a place we'd love to hang out in!

Project

Jason Street Project

This home flooded during Hurricane Harvey, and we were happy to help them update and improve their home as we renovated the entire space. For this family who loves to cook and entertain, the most important aspect of the design was the kitchen. We were able to rethink the layout to provide more space and functionality so that they could host with ease. We also made hard finish selections, from tile to window coverings; purchased and installed furniture; and styled accessories. It was truly a comprehensive renovation, and we were honored to be part of it.

Project

Hip Navy Powder Room

This powder room holds a very special place in my heart as it was my first official design project. My client wanted to update her powder room with something fun and feminine and I think we nailed it! We chose practical materials such as wood look tile floors (easy to clean) especially helpful in a house with young boys. My client knew she wanted wallpaper but again because her kids were young we decided to use subway tile for the lower wall and wallpaper on the top portion of the wall (boy moms you know why!). Overall the mix of patterns, colors, and finishes is truly a winning combination.

Project

Romantic Traditional Primary Bedroom

This project was a romantic bedroom for a couple with two young kids. Our task was to create a sanctuary for them to relax and unwind in after a long day with littles. The only glitch in our giddy up was the window placement which we worked around with a custom height headboard. The bed itself got the royal treatment with layered linen bedding and ruffles galore, topped off with a custom monogrammed lumbar pillow. We hung the client's cherished family artwork, all painted by her uber talented grandfather, on the walls to surround all new selections of bedroom furniture and accessories.

Project

Mildred Project

Another survivor story from Hurricane Harvey, this client project consisted of overhauling a flooded downstairs area. We were able to select new furniture and soft goods, marrying them with items our clients were able to salvage before the water damaged them beyond repair. Once the restoration was complete, we delivered and installed everything to its rightful home, down to hanging our client's treasured collection of art throughout the space in ways that our client reported made her see her art in a new way.

Project

Garden of Good ( Not Evil )

This transformation was our first foray into exterior design. We started with a sad outdoor space and channeled classic Savannah gardens with pea gravel paths that divide four tiny boxwood garden plots, each individually planted (one even with vegetables!) and intersecting with a bubbling fountain as the focal point.
