While all of my projects change up my clients’ homes, there are some that turn into dramatic home design changes that transform their space. Below are some of my favorites that may inspire you to see the potential in your house.
This home had a typical 1990s layout with a huge great room with vaulted ceilings off their kitchen. There was no architectural feature beyond the height. We designed custom cabinetry gave the space some visual interest as well as functionality. And because it was custom made, I was able to play off the kitchen cabinet design to bring a cohesive “built-in” look to the piece. No more empty great room!

It took 28 years to complete this custom cabinetry project! Not from my side, but rather it took that long for my clients to 1) have a shared vision and 2) get up the energy to finally do it. The wife had been saving inspiration pictures of elements of her perfect solution for their storage and family photo display needs. So, when they were ready, it was fairly easy to understand what they were looking for. We worked together to create the perfect design for their needs and space. What was once an empty wall became a fully-functioning storage solution.

It’s funny how we as homeowners will ignore the things we do not like about our houses until we have time to change them. Such was the case for my clients; they purchased their 70s/80s home in Carmel and never liked the functional yet heavy-wooded staircase. Instead of doing something about it, they raised a family. Once they became empty-nesters, they felt it was time to address it. There were some structural challenges that dictated the design, but in the end we were able to give them a look that redefined the look of their whole home.

Many of my staircase remodeling projects stem from a first-floor remodel or refresh that includes new floors, new paint and perhaps new architectural detailing. When these changes are made, the staircase, which is typically the first thing you see when one enters the home, needs updating too. Such was the case for this staircase remodeling project. My clients’ home was built in the 90s and had recently completed a redesign, including new wood flooring. The staircase no longer worked with the flooring so needed its own design attention. The change was truly dramatic.
