About the project
This beautiful townhouse with tall ceilings had undergone several renovations, but lacked the cohesion and high-end finish our client desired. Our mission was to create a space that combined elevated functionality with timeless style—turning it into a home that feels unified and inviting.
-
A couple moving in together for the first time wanted to create a home that felt both stunning and comfortable, merging their distinct tastes into one shared space.
-
We modernized the lighting and paint throughout to complement the home’s tall ceilings and architectural details. The addition of custom-built elements, such as a wet bar and built-in storage, add both practicality and beauty. A modern white palette runs throughout the main spaces, with splashes of color and texture in the Powder Room and Office. A sectional from Design Within Reach gives the living room a cozy feel without sacrificing elegance, while a Frame TV above the fireplace blends in seamlessly with the design.
-
The existing lighting and mismatched paint needed to be addressed to honor the home’s architecture while embracing our clients’ modern tastes. Balancing these elements required careful planning.
-
Forming lifelong friendships with the clients, and even attending their wedding, was a highlight. We love seeing how the revamped space now reflects their love.
