These homeowners had been living with the original design of their Linden Woods home since moving in. The classic 80’s oak ran throughout the house, begging for an update.

Opening up the wall between the kitchen and living room and adding LED lights created much needed light. Darkening the wood railings and ceiling beams created a contemporary feel that paired with the new LVP hardwood look flooring, dark shaker style cabinets, white quarts countertops, and white subway backsplash, beautifully. The result, a previously dark and closed space turned into a warm, welcoming, friendly atmosphere for the homeowners.

Our objective was to reconfigure the existing living space, and provide a much needed update to an aging home.

A full bathroom remodel, and Hickory hardwoods throughout, were the perfect finishing touch to this stunning renovation!

The design intent from the onset was clear: keep the home’s prairie aesthetic and maintain the established setting of the home within the context of the neighborhood. Using these principles as the framework for the project, we then sought to incorporate light, modern finishes and increase circulation efficiency.

Wood panels throughout the main floor and classic light fixtures harken to a previous time in our city. All are made boldly modern here with razor-sharp details, luxurious materials, and crisp finishes.
