What a fun project to do, for such a cool family, with an INSANELY TIGHT deadline. We promised we’d have this renovation standing at attention by the time their little girl started her new school. And we finished just in time! Cosmetic improvements to the kitchen and living areas were achieved by utilizing mostly paint, countertop substitutions, updated globe lighting and chic chandeliers, along with extra-large hardware. Melrose Partners Designs was able to deliver a fresh take on a dated home that was originally French country. Our young clients and their growing family wanted a more youthful and transitional look. The builder-grade fireplaces were transformed using a combination of materials such as hand-picked tile to allow the space to have a fresh and tailored look. The fireplaces stood out against the flow of the black and white that was consistent with the rest of the house For MPD, a paint job is the true mark of quality. It’s not just in what you can see, but you should be able to touch it to know that someone approached the millwork like it was a new car. Everything was stripped, sanded, primed with two coats, and finished with three. The time is in the prep. The painting is the easy part.
