Our Favorite Details – Bathroom Edition
Over the years and through all kinds of projects, we've collected some favorite details that just seem to finish the job well. We pride ourselves in regularly paying attention to details in all projects. They are just as important to the overall finish of a space as the big items, and we believe they are often the little touches that enhance functionality for the client. Some of these details were our idea, some were requested by our clients, but all made a difference in their respective spaces. Here are our favorite details - bathroom edition!
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.
Midcentury Modern Bathroom – Before & After
Our Midcentury Modern Bathroom project is one of our favorite transformations to date! Our clients' master bathroom was cramped and out of style. They both have fantastic design taste and knew there was potential for a more functional and aesthetically-pleasing space. Our main goals in this project were to make the bathroom feel larger without increasing its footprint and revamp the design in midcentury modern style.
Little Chapel Bathroom – Before & After
The Little Chapel Bathroom project was in a home in a well-established Denton neighborhood. It had been renovated in the past, but the style did not flow well with what our client had done in the rest of her home. This guest bathroom was small, but backed up to a seldom-used closet in the entry. Our goals for the project were to reconfigure the bathroom layout to extend into the unused closet and update the entire space with tile and paint.
The Texas Gate House – Before & After
The Texas Gate House is located outside town down a windy rural road. Set on over 2 acres and built in 2000, the Texas Gate House is the ideal country farmhouse complete with a large front porch and dormer windows. It earned its name from the cattle guard at the entrance of the long driveway. Cattle guards are humorously called "Texas Gates" in Canada where Kelley grew up, and the name stuck.
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.
The Redemption House – Before & After
When we first saw the property we would come to call “The Redemption House,” it was uninhabitable. Built in 1916, it had been added onto more than once, yet the latest work seemed to have been in the 1970s. While it was in a coveted historical area in Denton, it had been vacant for quite a while and was badly overgrown and neglected.
