Joanna and Chip stretched their stylistic parameters on this project, refashioning an ordinary suburban home into a showplace with a distinctly modern aesthetic. Joanna put her rustic and farmhouse leanings aside temporarily to focus on visual simplicity, industrial textures and a spare approach to decor.

The clients, Dean and Brittany, were new to the Waco area. They were looking for a quiet spot in the country with some acreage — but a home with a modern style. In and around Waco, acreage is not a problem, but modern homes are hard to come by. Chip and Joanna were able to transform a bland ranch style house to create this stylized home with decidedly modern attributes, inside and out.

Without significantly altering the footprint or layout of the kitchen, the space was stylistically reinvented to give it this contemporary industrial look.

For the clients, the location and scenery were major selling points for the property. The redesign of the living room took full advantage of the backyard views with floor-to-ceiling slider windows that span practically the full width of the living area.
