Suburban Update in Fort Worth

Living Room to Library

This classic leather sofa was updated with a pair of end tables out of mango wood with hand forged hardware.

Living room to library

This bookshelf with sliding pocket doors created a library passage to a home office out of a traditional living room/ dining room open flow.

Reupholstered family heirlooms

Updating a pair of family heirlooms, this pair of chairs was stripped, refinished and reupholstered in classic cow hide for a big Texas nod to this new living library.

Traditional LRDR transformation

Before and after. Living Room open to dining room becomes cozy library.

Remade front door

Replacing the original door with a sleek craftsman construct transformed this entry way. We added grasscloth in the dreamiest of greens to complement the "Aggie" maroon front door.

Grasscloth in the Entryway

The charcoal tile ran throughout the home. Grasscloth wallpaper in the entry added both texture and softened the tile.

Reworked paneled family room

This homeowner loves being on the water. We brought elements of that into his home through the aqueous palette and additon of textiles and artwork.

Limestone fireplace replaced dated brick

Painting the oak panelling and replacing the tan brick with a locally mined limestone transformed this dark space into one of texture and light. We also replaced the sliding glass exterior doors with hinged french doors to incorporate the sunporch into the living space and add more natural light.

Cobalt bookcase showcases family treasures.

Taking out the traditional cabinet and replacing with a bold open shelving gives a dramatic companion to the chunky limestone facade on the fireplace.

French Doors to sunporch update sliding glass doors

Before and after of the family room.

Design details

Some of my favorite elements of this home include a pair of original waterscape 'twins', a navy lacquered bed and detail on the antique carved chairs.

Kitchen makeover

Before and after transformation from 'mess' to Magnificent. The Bertazonni appliances natural squared off styling gave us a lead on the rest of the detail on this project.

Kitchen Makeover alt view

Painted cabinetry in soft dove gray lifts up the dark charcoal tile floor. A bevelled white subway tile surrounds the kitchen walls.

Classic and current

A custom blend of water colors in glass creates an amazing focal point.

Planning ahead of the magic

A simple elevation that creates a snapshot for the homeowner of the shape and form of things to come.

Custom water colored glass murano tile

The waterfall backsplash extends behind the stovepipe and lifts the eye to the ceiling over the range. We stripped the popcorn off of all the ceilings in the home including the kitchen adding cans in all of the rooms.

From 70's hutch to built in bar

We transformed the built in hutch by stripping off the doors and adding a marble surface and backsplash creating a bar space for entertaining.

Laundry Room from eek to sleek

Before and after Laundry Room. New porcelain floor and sink. Refaced cabinets in a shaker style transform this space .

An outdoor space becomes part of the home

This holding space was accessed through sliding glass doors and felt like an extension of the garage. We painted all of the brick white and layers of gray, stripped out the flourescent lights and added cans to trip this space into an extension of the family room. Allowing for a clean line of sight into a beautiful backyard and letting natural light have more access to the interior.

Master Bedroom in Process

These photos of the Master bedroom show a room in process...the finishing touch of art is underway. A textured rug and hand made quilt of hand dyed fabric warm up the space and add depth to the Master bedroom.
