Project overview

Tucked into a dream neighborhood but stuck in the late ’90s, this home needed a full first-floor glow-up to feel like 2025. The clients—savvy house hackers who move every few years—wanted a space that felt elevated yet approachable, with timeless updates designed to appeal to future buyers. Our task? Bring the soul, skip the grapes (literally—the walls were rocking a full-blown Tuscan wallpaper moment).

Leaning into a Studio McGee-inspired palette of creams, whites, and soft earth tones, we reimagined the dining, living, kitchen, and powder rooms with organic textures and understated luxury. New engineered hardwoods grounded the space, while a custom millwork layout ensured that every cabinet and detail felt purposeful. We brought cohesion with fresh paint throughout the first floor and layered in subtle color play in the primary bedroom and dining room.

A few curveballs behind the scenes (hello, millwork installation redo) didn’t slow the transformation. In the end, the house found its groove—a classic, calming backdrop for this family’s next chapter and a future resale win in the making.
