Hickory Hills Updated Modern

OVERVIEW

The homeowners wanted to update the home that they had lived in for over 20 years. They wanted to touch every area of their home but didn’t want to overdo the budget for the neighborhood. They wanted to lighten and brighten their space, update their kitchen without changing out the cabinetry, update all 3 bathrooms, re-think the music studio, and just give the house a fresh appeal.

RESULTS

Living Room & Entry

  • Switching out the entry doors let in a lot more light and immediately gave the space a more updated feel
  • Paneling the fireplace immediately gave the space a focal point and is a show stopper
  • Updated new wood floors, and paint throughout the house
  • Updated stairway by removing the carpet, wrapping each tread in white oak, updating the railing to white oak
  • New furniture replaced the existing tired leather seating and gave them a lot more additional seating for their family

Kitchen

  • We painted all the dark cherry cabinetry white. This works because the cabinets were in solid, well-made condition. Updating all the glides to soft-close and changing out all the decorative newel posts to straight helped continue to make it a modern updated space.
  • We changed out all the counters to new leathered black granite and added a zellige style backsplash.
  • New updated hardware, faucet, and lighting and barstools reinforce the new clean look they were trying to achieve.

Additional Rooms

  • Studio – new furniture, sound panels, new inspiring ways to store all the music equipment including a 70 year old vintage locker for the amps.
  • Bathrooms – all 3 bathrooms got all new cabinetry, tile, finishes and fixtures
  • Bedrooms – most of the bedrooms got new furniture and accessories
  • new window treatments throughout
  • new flooring and paint throughout
