The Beachum Project
For this project, Chip and Joanna worked with clients Kelvin and Culetta Beachum who live in Mexia, Texas, about 40 miles outside Waco. The Beachums were looking for a house big enough to accommodate family gatherings, including grandkids, and their budget including renovations was $160,000. The house they purchased for $130,000 left a renovation budget that would essentially just allow for some basic cosmetic changes.

Reimagined Living Space
When the Beachums' son generously offered to help out his parents fund their home makeover, to the tune of an additional $100,000, it made more substantive changes possible — like this stylized and substantially reworked living space with custom built-ins and new hardwood floors.

Dining Room, BEFORE

Dining Room, AFTER
Since Mrs. Beachum was an avid cook, and the couple planned to be entertaining large family groups, Joanna suggested transforming the former den into this large dining room that now opens onto the kitchen. The dark wood paneling and popcorn ceiling were removed, and the paneling replaced with new drywall.

Foyer, Detail
A trio of beautifully textured, patterned wall panels compliment the simple yet elegant table in this foyer. The pale blue wall paint makes a clean, soft backdrop. The palette-like base of the table highlights the country design and natural wood look of the table. A display of candles, plants and book easily dresses up the table while maintaining the calm style.
