MODERN LIVING + DINING ROOM
This modern living and dining remodel was a labor of love for my best friend.
Having my real estate license came in handy when she and her husband were looking for the perfect home. Having been friends for 40+ years, I knew her style which happens to be the same as mine—MODERN! It took a while, but finally I found their dream home on a beautiful wooded creek lot. They didn’t mind that it was outdated. We were ready for a design challenge!
The entire living-dining area was modernized: wood floors were installed, all the surfaces were painted warm white, new clear windows (minus the mullions) were installed with white shades in the living area, and swanky new light fixtures were hung.
It was a collaborative effort to select area rugs, accessories, furnishings, and art. My best friend and I love to shop together and had so much fun! (Of course, it always includes a long lunch!) We made several scouting trips to showrooms and boutiques—it’s not something that can be completed in a day. Anyway, what fun would that be? (We’re still not done with the master bedroom.)
My friends/clients are delighted with the results and love waking up to their beautiful “forever” home, as she calls it. I’m so happy I was able to design a remodel that has contributed to their daily joy and contentment.
