This project was a true celebration of Midcentury design. The clients came to us with a clear vision: preserve the home’s original bones while updating it to create a house full of personality. Drawing on one of our specialties, we reimagined the main level by swapping the locations of the kitchen and dining room, creating a more functional flow while giving each space a stronger sense of purpose. In the kitchen, we used a hand-painted Fireclay Tile backsplash in a custom Block Shop pattern and Feldspar Gloss finish, adding a handcrafted layer of color, pattern, and texture that served as a distinctive focal point against the clean lines of the rift oak cabinetry.
The transformation continued downstairs, where we completely reworked the layout to create two dedicated kids’ bedrooms and a shared bath, along with a comfortable TV room and direct walkout access to the expansive backyard. Every detail was considered through a Midcentury lens, balancing thoughtful space planning with the era’s signature mix of clean lines, warmth, and playful design. Completed in the summer of 2022, the project resulted in a home that embraced its original character wholeheartedly while being thoughtfully adapted to the needs of a modern family.
