Project Recap
This project was all about giving the home a fresh, updated feel while working with many of the existing elements the homeowners already loved. The main goals were to refresh the paint throughout the space, repair failing drywall tape on the vaulted ceilings, and add dimension to a large open-concept wall.
One unique challenge on this project was the staircase railing. The homeowners had recently installed new flooring, which required changes to the railing system. When we arrived, it had been partially torn apart and needed a complete refresh to bring everything back together cohesively. We upgraded the railing with iron balusters and finished it in white, tying it beautifully into the new board and batten detail and overall design.
One of our favorite parts of this transformation was seeing how impactful a refresh can be without changing major elements like lighting or wood tones. By focusing mainly on paint, texture, and architectural detail, the entire space feels brighter, cleaner, and more elevated while still maintaining the warmth and character of the home.
