Bright & Cohesive Whole-Home Transformation

Complete Home Refresh

This whole-home remodel feels like stepping into a brand-new home. Consistent plank flooring and brighter, crisper finishes throughout completely transformed the atmosphere. In the kitchen, removing a load-bearing column and reworking the appliance layout created a much more open feel, while also adding storage and significantly expanding countertop space. The dated fireplace in the family room was replaced with a bright, floor-to-ceiling stone surround that now supports a mounted TV—exactly what the clients envisioned. And in the primary bathroom, we replaced the cramped shower and oversized tub with a luxurious wet room that combines both, delivering the spa-like experience the homeowners had dreamed of.

Client Review

“From the very start, Marta was extremely pleasant, was able to answer all our questions and help turn our dreams into a reality. With her ability to put a picture to our thoughts and ideas, we were able to envision what was possible.
When we had questions she was able to answer them to our satisfaction. By simply making plan changes on her computer she was able to quickly show us how it would look.

Marta helped us find the right contractor and she worked seamlessly with him in order for our house to become the home we had envisioned. If you want to make home improvements but are not sure what to do, we recommend Marta whole heartedly.”

Project Overview

Stepping into this home now feels like entering an entirely new space. This whole-home remodel transformed a dated floorplan into a modern, cohesive retreat. Continuous plank flooring, brighter finishes, and smarter layouts brought clarity and calm to every room—completely changing how the home feels from the moment you enter.

Design Goals

Seamless Flow

We replaced the mix of disjointed tile finishes with warm, luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout all main living areas—creating visual continuity from room to room.

Light & Clarity

Brighter, crisper finishes—including fresh white walls, updated trim, and refined millwork—maximize natural light and bring a clean, open feel to each space.

Kitchen

Our clients dreamed of a more open, functional kitchen with better flow and more prep space. We delivered that by:

  • Removing a load-bearing column and installing an engineered steel beam to open sight-lines into the family room.
  • Relocating the fridge and range to allow for uninterrupted countertop space.
  • Adding deep drawers, full-height pantry cabinets, and smarter storage throughout.

Family Room & Fireplace

The original fireplace felt dark, bulky, and couldn’t support a TV. Our solution created a clean, modern focal point:

  • A whitewashed, floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace now anchors the room.
  • Built-in TV mount allows a flat screen to float seamlessly above the mantel.
  • The new layout invites conversation and enhances the natural flow from kitchen to living space.

After

Primary Bathroom

The existing bath was cramped and poorly laid out—with a small shower squeezed beside an oversized tub. We reimagined it as a spa-style wet room that the clients had always wanted:

  • A frameless glass partition connects a sleek shower and freestanding tub.
  • Full-height tile and a glass-block window span the length of the space.
  • Slate hex tile adds texture and depth underfoot.

After

Entry & Staircase

A previously forgettable entry now sets the tone for the whole home:

  • Matching plank flooring continues from entry through the entire main floor.
  • Crisp white trim and new stair detailing bring warmth and polish.
  • Clean lines and open views now welcome you in with intention.

The Result

This isn’t just a remodel—it’s a reinvention. From the entryway to the bath, every detail was designed to reflect how the homeowners live today. The home is now brighter, more functional, and completely personalized, proving that thoughtful changes can make a home feel entirely new.
