Mid-Makeover

During the renovation process, the couple lived in the cluttered garage of their California home, so their newly-renovated home could not be ready fast enough.

First to Go

Since the couple adores modern spaces with clean white furnishings, this dated kitchen was not their idea of home sweet home.

Taller Tiles

A strip of vertical gray tiles behind the sink breaks up the beige backsplash and leads the eye upward, making the space appear taller.

Bright Laundry Room

Just off the kitchen sits a newly-renovated laundry room. A bright orange wall color adds a hint of fun to an area typically designed for function over form.

Interior Sliding Door

When not in use or to quiet the sounds of the washing machine, a custom sliding door separates the kitchen from the laundry room.

Laundry Room Before

Before the makeover, the laundry room was spacious but depressing with dark walls and dated tile flooring.

Captivating Cleaning Space

After the makeover, the orange walls make the laundry room feel like one of the most fun rooms in the house. (A new washer and dryer certainly don't hurt, either.)

Smart Storage

Also inside the laundry room, industrial-style shelving provides ample space for a kitchen pantry.

Living Room Before

The old living room had cluter everywhere and no real style.

Cozy and Relaxing

After the makeover, light gray walls create a calming effect in the space, and a large orange sectional provides comfy and colorful seating for movie nights.
