Irwin Farmhouse – Before & After Part I
The Irwin Farmhouse project is especially significant for us as it is our own “new” home. It may just be our favorite project to date. While we’ve renovated for ourselves before (see our most recent project at our previous house here), we always made changes one room at a time. This time we updated the entire house at once before we moved in. That enabled us to make the whole house cohesive from a design standpoint and create a space that perfectly reflects what feels like home to us.
Franklin Farmhouse – Before & After
The Franklin Farmhouse was a very fun project for us! Our clients were long-time friends who had moved back to the area after years of living out of state, and their modern farmhouse style is very similar to the style we prefer for our own home. The house is in an ideal location on a lot with plenty of elbow-room and lots of mature trees. Built in the early 1990s, the house was the perfect size for a growing family, yet felt bland and generic. Our clients' goals were to increase the functionality of the house for their family's needs while also updating the style of the home.
Coach’s Quarters – Before & After
The Coach's Quarters farmhouse style renovation project took place at a home on a beautiful tree-filled lot in a rural neighborhood. Our clients had been in the house for years and had completed projects before, but were ready to overhaul the kitchen, living room and master bathroom to update the main floor to a more current style.
Double-Sided Fireplace – Before & After
This double-sided fireplace renovation was completed last fall – just in time for the holidays! We removed the existing tile from both sides of the fireplace and installed new tile. A dark 12×24 tile was used on the living room side for a sleek, solid-surface look. On the dining room side, we installed a 3×6 subway tile in a herringbone pattern to add interest and dimension. We also removed the existing woodwork from the living room side of the fireplace and installed shiplap and a custom mantle in its place.
The Honey House – Before & After
The Honey House was built in the late 1990's and is located in a prominent Denton neighborhood. The house had great bones and was in excellent condition, but our clients wanted a more open layout for hosting their growing family and friends and a more updated feel. The goal was to transform the home's traditional look (heavy with dark wood) to a lighter, airier farmhouse style. The family welcomed two new grandchildren in the past several months and Honey is our client's "grandma name", so "Honey's House" became The Honey House.
Clean Cottage Kitchen & Fireplace Before and After
This 1960's home in Highland Village, TX had space and potential but needed a major facelift. The dark paneling on the ceiling and walls made the space feel closed in, and the oversized fireplace took up far too much room for [...]
