WINDSOR PARK - WIP

AFTER

The clients wanted a fun redo for their daughter’s bathroom/guest hall bath. This wallpaper selection added the right touch of whimsy and sophistication.

BEFORE

AFTER

We designed custom cabinetry, a custom mirror, and replaced the tile, lighting and countertops. Basically everything was refreshed while maintaining the shell.

BEFORE

AFTER

The toilet was previously hugging the bathtub in a very awkward way. The clients sought a solution that didn’t require any structural changes to the bathroom, so we moved things around.

BEFORE

AFTER

Check back for more photos soon! The clients wanted to upgrade and reconfigure some of the rooms when they bought the house to make it work for their lifestyle. We redid the bathrooms, kitchen, flooring and windows in this Windsor Park treasure. It’s in the near stages of completion.

GALVESTON’S EAST END

The clients requested a calming color palette that mimicked the hues of the skies, beaches and lagoons for their home away from home. This place was to function as a non-fussy, relaxing getaway for their family, including 3 children and friends, along with serving as a rental home. High performance fabrics, durable furniture and not overly precious items were chosen for high traffic areas. The coastal vibe became the unifying aesthetic throughout the home, and special niches were created to house the clients’ nautical antiques. The family are avid readers, so we built a library that served to house their vast book collection and function as a game/tv room out of plain sight.

GRACE’S HOUSE (SET FROM THE FACEBOOK WEB SERIES, SKAM)

AFTER

BEFORE

The room needed a lot more life in it (as seen in the first photo) so we painted walls to create warmth, added layers of window treatments and textiles, replaced the furniture with vintage finds and introduced ambient lighting.

AFTER

The character Grace possesses a level of maturity beyond her years, and we wanted to reflect that in her bedroom. While this is her aunt’s house and the furniture was already there, when Grace moved in she added personal touches like artwork and bedding. Her minimalist yet elevated aesthetic merged with her aunt’s eclectic style here. Ambient lighting was crucial in creating a serene environment for her.

BEFORE

Grace’s room before we painted walls, introduced window treatments, artwork and furniture.

AFTER

We painted two music speakers black and repurposed them as nightstands in Grace’s room. Something her musician aunt would have done. We chose muted tones that evoked Grace’s minimalist spirit for her bedding.

AFTER

This sunroom was extra fun to decorate with a retro sofa, an old car seat and other mismatched plants, decor and lighting to create the perfect youthful Austin vibe.

BEFORE

This room was already pretty incredible prior to us working in it, but the furniture and decor elements we introduced really helped make the space feel like a well-loved and well-lived in environment.

AFTER AND BEFORE. While the rooms in this home were just temporary setups for the purposes of filming, the principles of decorating and design remain the same. Here, we were building the world of a 15 year old girl who has recently come to live at her aunt’s house, an old school Austinite musician. In order to create the feeling of a lived in, eclectic Austin artist’s home, we aimed to pull together layers upon layers of mismatched vintage furniture, textiles, and ambient lighting. Musical instruments served the dual purpose of artwork and helped to further build the character's world. We sought local artists and musicians to lend their artworks and music posters to truly ground the story in Austin.

HAROLD COURT

AFTER

BEFORE

Same perspective as first photo. The house already had a small footprint, so in order to make it feel more spacious we knocked down walls and vaulted the ceiling. We repurposed the old pine wall planks and left them exposed on the ceiling to create a warm and inviting entrance to the home.

BEFORE

Everything was replaced down to the studs. We chose smooth wall finishes and frameless windows to streamline the look of the home.

AFTER

Same perspective as previous photo.

Kitchen was moved to the left side of the house as can be seen in the previous photo. The existing kitchen became the pantry, under stair closet space, and stairwell that led up to the bedroom.

This room was built after the initial renovation. The existing back porch was turned into the light filled room with large windows and a sliding door that gave way to the beautiful backyard.

PROGRESS

AFTER

AFTER AND BEFORE

Prior to renovation, the home was comprised of several small rooms. We gutted it to create one larger open space and pitched the ceiling, using the existing shiplap walls that were behind layers of wallpaper and textured paint. Everything was essentially reconfigured, yet we maintained the existing footprint of the old home. A second story was added to house the primary bedroom. The home was purchased initially as an investment, but the owner fell in love with it so much that he decided to move in himself. Once his family began to expand, we converted the back porch into a multi purpose room with a built in murphy bed, closets and benches. It functioned as a dining room and guest room prior to it becoming a room for his daughter. The large windows and sliding door led to the newly built back deck and beautiful backyard view.

This beach home was furnished and staged to sell. Pops of color were introduced to each room to give life to the home. Coastal accents were chosen to celebrate and embrace the outdoor environment.
