The beach tract construction was completed weeks ago but I have finally had the time to post the photos I took then. More photos of the complete project with the furniture will be posted shortly.
When I was hired to design the interiors of this home we were only looking to update the flooring, doors and windows, as well as, remodel the main bath room to meet the needs of the client's requirement of the house to allow them to age in place. As you'll see I redesigned the shower to allow them ease of access if they require a wheel chair, as the husband had once after a recent stay in the hospital. But as demolition progressed the client made the decision to update the entire house.
The home is a ranch, which is one story, no need to ever climb steps again as they did in their last home. The home was built with mid century modern details, which is very on trend at the moment but the client's furniture is a wonderful collection of family heirlooms that all have a very traditional quality. So, what I did is develop a design concept which brought the interiors into an updated and fresh traditional inspired design.
BEFORE
|
| We all loved the cabinets but they were not well made and the style didn't fit that of the new home owner. The vinyl flooring was in good shape, but yikes, I would only keep it if forced to by the budget. |
 |
| The view from the kitchen to the laundry mudroom to the back bath. |
 |
| We had to widen the doorways including this one to allow for wheel chair accessibility. |
 |
| The light fixture is wonderfully mid century but I prefer sconces at eye level on each side of a mirror because it is more flattering to ones reflection. |
AFTER
 |
| Open shelving for the client's collectibles. |
 |
| Knee space under the sink for wheel chair accessibility. |
 |
| The mudroom to the back bathroom. |
 |
| Our clients are thrilled with their new home! |
