Empty Nester Remodel

Our client built this family home in 1998. Two decades and three kids later, it had not seen much changeFocusing all their energy on three busy kids, pushed plans for a home makeover to somewhere near the bottom of the list. Now, finding themselves new empty nesters, they knew they were ready for a whole new look for their home, centering on a casual atmosphere, reflective of their lifestyle. Moving from their gorgeous lakefront lot was not in the plan for them. Instead, they decided to do a major interior overhaul including all new flooring and furniture, but mostly they wanted to bring their kitchen into the 21st century. They also wanted to open up their floor plan, which involved some remodeling. We worked closely with the builder to make design decisions that were both attractive and worked for the client’s practical needs. During the remodel the interiors were practically gutted providing a mostly clean slate to work with. However, we were able to spare a few areas from complete demo by replacing light fixtures and painting existing cabinetry. The refreshed surroundings were not only visible to the eye, but the client said they could almost feel a refreshment of spirit as well - perfect for the next phase of life.
