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.
Family Style Galley Kitchen – Before & After
The Family Style Galley Kitchen is in a Tudor-style home built in 1920. The house had so much character, from the diamond-pane windows in the front room to the dark wood paneling throughout, but the kitchen didn't fit the stately elegance of the rest of the house. Our clients' main goal was to open the kitchen up to the surrounding rooms. They also desired to create more space in the kitchen so the whole family could be in there together, and update the design to a blend of modern style and timeless sophistication.
Coastal Kitchen – Before & After
The Coastal Kitchen project took place at a newer home (built in early 2000's) in Denton, TX. The house was in great shape, but the brown tones in the kitchen didn't match our clients' style. They desired more flow between their kitchen and living room and didn't like the bi-level island or dividing archway that split the two spaces. One main goal was to gain island space in order to make the kitchen more functional for entertaining.
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 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.
Comfortable Industrial Kitchen – Before & After
This home was built in the last 15 years and had been well-taken care of by previous owners. While our clients appreciated the simple and tidy kitchen, it wasn’t quite their style. Our goals were to maximize cabinet space, brighten the room, and add new elements of design that suited our clients’ taste.
Elegant Windsor Kitchen Before and After
The "Windsor House" was built in the late 1990's. While it had been well taken care of and was still in great shape, it was in need of updates. Check out all the details of this kitchen before and after [...]
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 [...]
