Mountain Villa Renovation

After Living Room

The beams were stained from the pickled oak. The floors were blonde so we stained them espresso. We painted the walls, installed new lighting, new window treatments, and our furniture became the finishing touch to make this room.

Before Library

This was an open concept plan and we had two rooms mixed between one. So we had to get creative and separate the rooms. On this side we created a library for our clients and guests to read, or maybe do a little work or play a game after a long day of outdoor adventures.

Before Kitchen

In the kitchen we had a very limited budget. The appliances were in good condition so we kept those. We reworked the island to make one level, and replaced the countertops, flooring and backsplash. We didn't have money to redo the cabinetry so we had them re-stained to bring a warmth into the kitchen. I was happy that we were able to keep the stained glass, seeing it was original to the house.

Before Dining Room

When we walked into the dining room it was drab and dark. It was not inviting at all, the opposite of what you want your dining room to look like. We re-stained the beams, installed new window treatments and new furniture. Designer Tip: If you like to throw dinner parties make sure you allot a good budget for your furniture. I always ask my clients... How long do you want your guests to stay? An hour, two hours or more? The dining chairs are one of the most important pieces in this room.
