Do you live in a neighborhood or area that you love, but aren't feeling the same love for your home?
Are you house hunting but only finding homes that are outdated or don't reflect your style?
If so, this information is right up your alley. If not - you'll still get to see some fun before and after photos - and who doesn't love those?! We've captured some recent Oakley renovations to show just how much a space can be transformed. In many cases, the changes don't have to be huge overhauls - but can sometimes be smaller shifts that go a long way in bringing a home's style up to date to make an old home feel brand new.
In this first renovation, you can see just how far small changes like an updated stain colors and paints, and painting cabinets can go. This family found an incredible home that had the space they wanted in a neighborhood they were focused on - but it didn't reflect their style. We came in to freshen up the entire home with some relatively minor changes that make for a major impact.
The end result leaves this home feeling brand new. And by bringing these refreshes to the entire home, it makes the style changes truly feel cohesive. The best part is, all of this work was done before they moved in, allowing them to settle in to their new home from the start.
In this next renovation, many similar updates were made with paint, stains and finishes (and some incredible decor!). But here, we took the changes even further with the addition of shiplap walls, new storage and seating solutions from the mudroom to the kitchen and beyond. It was important to maintain the charm of the original house, but reflect the vision that the new homeowners had for their home.
Shiplap, a new fireplace surround and mantel combined with a lighter floor and complementary furniture takes this room from basic to beyond.
This home, like so many we see, had incredible bones and really good square footage. Our clients wanted to put their own touch on this home and they did that in spades! But we also focused on some economical choices on what to keep vs. what to redo. This balance allowed them to make wise investment choices throughout the home's remodel.
