Overview

A kitchen and bath remodel prompted the need for a full house Tweak! “Our spaces didn’t feel like they flowed well after the remodel,” said the homeowners. Part of the Tweak process is about recognizing when things are working, and Tweaking the things that are not, until it all comes together into one harmonious, aesthetically pleasing way. After the remodel, the homeowners had been trying to transition the rest of their spaces into something that would complement and work with their newly remodeled spaces. We know how frustrating it can be when you have just spent a lot of time and money remodeling your home and it still does not feel finished. We needed to figure out what was not working in order to give us direction to figuring out what would make the spaces “speak” to one another and feel cohesive. The openness of the couple’s floor plan did not work in their favor. From every room you could see different flooring. There were white tile floors in some areas and yellow maple wood floors in others. Unfortunately, or fortunately, there was a big glaring decision to be made. Which is not easy when you have just spent months remodeling? Do we replace the existing floors for one continuous looking floor throughout? This would go a long way to giving them the unified and updated spaces they wanted. But that was not the only challenge. Convincing the homeowners to allow for a Tweak of the family room fireplace that had just received its own face-lift during the remodel – was even harder. Check out how it all came together using their existing furniture and some carefully selected new things. Thankfully, this savvy couple opted for new wood floors throughout and allowed for a mid-century modern re-design of the fireplace as part of their Tweak!
