Main Floor Reimagined Before
The goal for this renovation was to bring function, flow, and intention back into the main floor—starting with some of the most overlooked spaces.
The laundry room was tight and poorly laid out, with limited storage and a door that made it difficult to fully access the space. The powder room felt dated, with a pedestal sink that lacked functionality and an awkward arched soffit that didn’t tie into anything else in the home.
In the front room, a knee wall with oversized columns disrupted the layout and blocked the natural focal point. To make matters worse, the bump-out wasn’t even symmetrical—something subtle, but once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
Overall, the space felt disjointed, underutilized, and ready for a much more thoughtful and functional redesign.
Main Floor Reimagined After
This main floor was completely reworked to feel more functional, intentional, and visually balanced—without adding square footage.
In the powder room, we designed a custom statement vanity with a thick stone front and a vessel sink to maximize function within a tight 18” depth. By moving the faucet to the wall, we were able to save valuable counter space while still keeping a clean, elevated look. A floating shelf below and matching shelving above the toilet keep the space feeling open while adding practical storage.
In the laundry room, a simple but impactful change—replacing the swing door with a pocket door—completely opened up the space. This allowed for a full folding counter and a dedicated drying area above. Extra-deep cabinetry was taken all the way to the ceiling, creating significantly more storage while still feeling streamlined and intentional.
In the front morning room, removing the knee wall and columns instantly improved the flow and connection to the entry. The space now feels larger, more open, and properly centered. A new linear electric fireplace creates a strong focal point, anchored by metal and glass cabinetry above to display meaningful pieces without adding visual clutter.
