Serene Green
Custom Media Built-In & Millwork
In collaboration with Haven South Designs, we transformed this first floor into a serene retreat that truly reflects the homeowners’ style. We began by removing the outdated, wall-to-wall built-ins that overpowered the living room. In their place, we installed a custom media wall featuring beautifully crafted oak shelving on each end and storage cabinets below. At the center of the design, a striking white oak slat paneling serves as a backdrop for the TV, perfectly stained to match the newly refinished floors, bringing warmth and texture to the space.
To enhance the overall flow and accessibility of the home, we strategically enlarged and reworked the existing cased openings. This thoughtful redesign created smoother transitions between the foyer, kitchen, and living room, giving the space a more open and inviting feel. In the dining area, we enhanced the aesthetic by applying new wall moldings to match the existing design elements, adding a refined touch that tied the space together.
Additionally, we relocated a powder room closet to create a custom pantry featuring oak shelving, adding both storage and charm. When the pantry door opens, LED lighting seamlessly illuminates the space automatically, enhancing both functionality and ambiance. This functional yet stylish solution helped optimize the layout while maintaining the cohesive design of the first floor.
To complete the transformation, we updated the kitchen by preserving the existing cabinetry and incorporating the same oak slat paneling from the media wall into the kitchen island. This thoughtful design choice created a stunning focal point and seamlessly tied the kitchen into the rest of the newly renovated spaces.
This project exemplifies the perfect blend of form and function, bringing together thoughtful design, skilled craftsmanship, and a commitment to creating a cohesive, harmonious living space.
