ABOUT THE PROJECT

Golden Oaks Heritage is a special project. Our clients raised their family in this house and every nook and cranny held importance and memory as they truly lived in and used every bit of the kitchen, screened porch, and living space. The front of the house was largely unused, and while charming, with a beautiful wood burning stove fireplace that often was filled with glowing embers, the layout of the space was just not working for how their busy family needed the space to function.

From the very beginning of ideating on the project, our client had a specific vision of having a space that felt warm and traditional but with elements that felt updated and fresh for today. The many gorgeous deVOL kitchens were a jumping off point for us as we balanced English simplicity with ensuring that all finishes would just look and feel better as they aged. Marble and white oak countertops, a soapstone sink, unlacquered brass hardware and fixtures, hardwood floors, and our paint color choices will stand the test of time and create a warm, enveloping feel as you move through the spaces. The result is somehow deep, welcoming, relaxed, light, and moody all at the same time.
