Chic Meets Comfort: Renovation Rekindle S3E3

May 23, 2024

We love building spec homes because they’re a blank canvas! It’s always exciting working on these projects with complete creative freedom and turning them into somebody’s dream home. Check out the full episode of Renovation Rekindle below and scroll to explore this newly constructed spec home, detailing the blend of style and comfort in every room.

The Kitchen

An expansive open-concept kitchen with a large center island featuring a white countertop and wooden base, providing seating for several people on sleek white stools with black legs. Gold pendant lights hang above the island, adding a touch of luxury to the space. The kitchen boasts a professional-grade stainless steel stove and oven, with a white hood and a herringbone tile backsplash. Gold fixtures and hardware complement the warm wooden tones of the cabinets. The view through the window shows a bright, clear day. Beyond the kitchen, the living area is visible, with a cozy fireplace and a relaxing seating arrangement. The entire space is unified with light hardwood flooring and a white coffered ceiling with recessed lighting.

A spacious and modern kitchen with abundant natural light streaming through large windows that offer a view of bare trees and a clear sky. The kitchen features sleek white cabinetry and stainless steel appliances, including a refrigerator and built-in microwave. The centerpiece is a large kitchen island with light wood base cabinets and a white marble countertop, complemented by four white modern bar stools with black metal legs. Above the island, two large dome-shaped gold pendant lights add a touch of elegance. The backsplash is made of subway tiles, and gold fixtures and cabinet pulls match the lighting. The room has a coffered ceiling with recessed lighting and the floor is laid with light hardwood, reflecting the sunlight beautifully.

A well-lit open-plan space combining a dining area and kitchen. The dining area features a round, dark wood table with contemporary black chairs, set under a chic chandelier with multiple milky glass shades. In the kitchen area, white cabinetry with sleek hardware matches the marble countertops, and a central island provides additional seating with high stools. Two gold pendant lights add a touch of elegance over the island. Natural light floods the room through large windows and a sliding glass door, enhancing the warm tones of the light wood flooring. The kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, and a black sliding barn door adds a modern farmhouse feel to the space.

A large window fills the room with natural light, highlighting the beige tile backsplash and stainless steel appliances, including a gas stove and a double-door refrigerator. A gold dome pendant light hangs above, adding a touch of elegance. Decorative elements such as a vase with blossoming branches and a small plant in a ceramic pot bring life to the space. The light hardwood flooring complements the room's clean and airy aesthetic.

The kitchen, with its oversized quartz top island and two toned mix of off-white and natural oak cabinetry, offers the perfect space for comfortably hosting guests and family gatherings. Some of my favorite features are the curved bell range hood, the color variation in the neutral backsplash tile, and the brass metal dome pendants.

The Kitchen Pantry

The walk-in pantry echoes the kitchen color scheme with matching off-white cabinetry and tile backsplash, but sleek contrasting black hardware. This space is both timeless and practical with a full prep sink, built-in oven, full sized refrigerator, and lots of extra cabinet storage.

The Living Room:

This living room is one of my favorites! Coffered ceilings and chic built-in bookcases with arch-tops flank a cozy fireplace setting the tone for the main floor.

Large windows flood this space with natural light, creating an inviting atmosphere perfect for chilly evenings by the fire. This open concept is expansive yet cozy and a testament to the balance of luxury and comfort.

The Mudroom

This mudroom is the perfect transitional area to welcome you home! Entering through the garage, the mudroom is located right off of the kitchen hidden behind a beautiful barn door.

Inside, the space comfortably blends earthy warm tones with natural wood, and a beautiful rustic terracotta herringbone floor. These elements pair perfectly with the chic metal accents on the hardware and brass mesh detail on the doors.

The Foyer & Bonus Rooms

In the main entrance, we enhanced the staircase wall using box trim painting it a neutral-toned gray, using Benjamin Moore’s Cumulus Cloud 1550. Adjacent to the foyer, there are two bonus rooms where we also added accent walls.

The home office features double-raised panel molding in a deep forest green color, Benjamin Moore’s Aegean Olive 1491. We included built-in storage in the corner, consisting of a cabinet and open shelving.

The Primary Suite

View from a bright hallway into an elegant bedroom, through an open white French door. The hallway features a long, dark gray built-in cabinet with a marble countertop and a cozy sitting area with a round coffee table and comfortable chairs on an area rug. The bedroom beyond is inviting, with a wall painted in dark green, a large bed with an upholstered headboard, and plush bedding in shades of white and teal. A tufted leather bench sits at the foot of the bed. Natural light pours in through the windows, reflecting off the light hardwood floors. The space is well-lit by recessed ceiling lights and a drum pendant light in the bedroom, creating a warm, serene atmosphere.

Two large windows allow natural light to stream in, highlighting the light hardwood floors and a large area rug. A tufted leather bench sits at the foot of the bed, and a cozy reading nook is created with two armchairs and a small side table near the window. The room features two stylish drum pendant lights, and on the far side, a thriving potted plant adds a touch of nature to the interior. This bedroom exudes a relaxed, luxurious atmosphere.

The dedicated bathroom makes it a dream come true for those craving a stylish escape. Sunlight filters through the windows, highlighting the serene palette of soft greens and neutrals throughout the entire space. Step into the bathroom and experience modern elegance with double sinks, a drop down vanity, and a sleek, glass-enclosed shower, promising a spa-like experience every day.
