If walls could talk, there'd be some pretty great stories from this home. Quite possibly it was the inspiration for a John Hughes film. I could feel the 80s to my bones in this house, that "oh, yes,I've been here before" feeling. No new film yet, but we did accomplish the mission of modernizing the entire footprint. A redo so cool maybe Jake will roll up in his Porsche one day. Or maybe his modern day equivalent in the latest EV must have.
Our client's request to honor her childhood upbringing, but make it completely, 100 percent a home fitting for her own modern family of 5, was our challenge. We tore out tray ceilings, wallpapered over dated murals, said good bye to tiled countertops and sunken living room - just to name a few tasks. The result is a brand new home, filled with color, whimsey and personality all while feeling subdued, light and open. Like totally ready for the next gen.
