With hopes of downsizing, this homeowner approached OHi to help reinvigorate her space in order to sell it. For resale value, we needed to select durable, accessible products that could be loved by many. The final selections include a white color palette for the kitchen, improved storage in both bathrooms, andan overall element of cohesion throughout the entire home.
Any realtor would tell you that the two rooms to sell a house are the kitchen and the master bathroom. With that in mind, our team worked together to breathe life into both of those rooms, as well as the hall bathroom. We re-stained the hardwood and added new carpet to ensure the whole house seamlessly flowed. In the bathrooms, we chose durable products, such as quartz countertops, and revamped the vanities to be a popular, yet neutral color.
In the kitchen, we toned down the space by removing the floral wallpaper. We installed a timeless white subway tile for the backsplash and improved the lower cabinet storage by added more drawers instead of cabinets. The finished product was a subtle, clean elegance.

Before: Covered in a bold, floral wallpaper, the kitchen cabinets had seen better days. There was a desk built into the refrigerator wall that was rarely used. There were soffits in the ceiling which truncated the cabinets, reducing the storage. The countertops were a simple laminate.
After: The soffits were removed and the cabinets now extend closer to the ceiling. The countertops are now an elegant quartz. The whole space is white, allowing it to feel brighter, larger, and very clean. The desk was replaced with pantry cabinets, increasing storage. The floors are refinished to provide a bit of contrast.
Before: The sand colored vanity lacked depth and was topped with a bland countertop and single handle sink faucet. The bulb lighting was dated and harsh for a morning and evening routine. The floors were a basic tile.
After: A subtle elegance is prevalent with the addition of the curved sink faucets and double handles. The lighting fixtures and individual mirrors helps create a defined individual space perfect for any couple. The vanity is done in a rich color that adds contrast and character. The flooring is now a sleek, durable luxury vinyl tile.
Before: A sandy brown vanity takes up most of the room. It is overpowered by the bright yellow wall that cast a harsh light throughout the room. The reflective gold knobs felt brash and out of place. The shower lacked any proper storage.
After: A clean, elegant vanity is installed with additional storage, including drawers. It is topped with a patterned countertop, creating a hint of character. The hardware is a sleek, simple knob and handle that help add to the subtlety of the space. The shower has a long niche for proper storage.
