For me design is not just about aesthetics; it’s a celebration of people—who they are, what they cherish, and the vibrant ways they experience life in their homes.

Meet Project Country Trails, a warm, welcoming remodel inspired by our clients’ eclectic style and rich personal history. The homeowners have filled this home with memorabilia from a lifetime of adventures. Our goal was to let those stories shine while elevating every space with thoughtful design and functionality.

We kicked off with a full refresh: exterior paint, new flooring, doors, trim, and hardware throughout. Recessed lighting added a soft, modern glow and set the stage for a dramatic first impression the moment you step inside.

We created a dedicated coffee bar that’s both functional and full of charm. Custom storage keeps mugs and supplies organized, while a walnut floating shelf adds warmth and character. A wall sconce above brings in soft lighting. It ties in with the mid-century details found throughout the home, just like the globe lights over the dining table.

Designed for both entertaining and relaxing, this living space was built from the ground up with all new furnishings. A console tucked into the fireplace nook hides away workout gear, and floating shelves above offer space for family photos and keepsakes. The original exposed beams were refinished to become a true focal point.

A walk-in shower with a built-in bench and ocean-blue tile creates a spa-like experience. A white tile stripe flows into the niche for visual interest, while a window brings in natural light and ventilation. A ready-made walnut vanity added warmth and smart storage.

Our client wanted a glamorous, functional space to work from home. We painted the room soft grey, added a teardrop flush mount light, and selected a height-adjustable desk with an ergonomic chair. Black floating cabinets with a white oak top add storage and warmth, while a velvet sofa and frosted glass doors bring comfort and style.

From the kitchen to the office, every room in Project Country Trails was designed with purpose. Each space blends personal history, everyday practicality, and elevated design at every turn.


Project Country Trails is a celebration of personal history, meaningful design, and the power of a home that truly reflects its people.
