I got a phone call almost as soon as the retirement days began for the lady of this house. They wanted to upgrade the home more comfortable and functional for the lazy days ahead. They decided to renovate the entire home from floor to ceiling, including bathrooms, fixtures and even the fireplace. Most of the old furniture was donated out of the way of the renovation. The only that stayed were the paintings and newly acquired pleated curtains, a coffee and dining table, and a large oak display cabinet. The new furniture was designed to fit them.
The master bedroom was moved downstairs, on my recommendation, to the site of the former guest bedroom. Sufficient space was provided for it by dismantling the unnecessary storage room. It was replaced by a more functional sliding door closet. The doorway to the room was moved closer to the kitchen, that way the dining area got an intact back wall. Beautiful double doors with glass openings look as if they have always been there.
Stunning sand-colored tiles were chosen for the bathrooms and also for the floor of the hallways and kitchen. The shade blends beautifully with the natural shade of oak plank parquet. Black, oak veneered doors and beautiful sand-colored quartz countertops were chosen for the kitchen. The black kitchen brings great contrast to an otherwise light-colored interior. Black is repeated here and there in small details and furniture. Different shades of gray were used in the upholstery colors. The guest rooms upstairs were inspired by the color of old paintings, which were placed in the rooms to the delight of the guests.
