From Outdated to Inviting: A Warm, Modern Living Space & Powder Room — The Oakview Remodel
A Home Ready for Change
This Oakview home had great bones, but it needed a thoughtful refresh. The homeowner had already renovated several rooms in their home, and the living room and adjacent powder room were next. The living room felt cold and outdated, weighed down by an old brick fireplace and a drafty sliding glass door. The powder room felt stuck in the past with aging fixtures and tired tile.
The homeowners weren’t just looking for a nicer space — they wanted rooms that felt warm, inviting, and aligned with their current lifestyle.
To bring that vision to life, we partnered with designer Jyl Hoffend of Blue Jay Interior Design, who guided the clients through finish options, colors, and design choices that made the whole project feel cohesive.
Living Room: Comfortable, Bright, and Reimagined
Out with the Old
The brick fireplace once dominated the room, making the space feel heavy and dark. Paired with a worn-out sliding glass door and poor insulation, the living room was always cold — no matter the season.
Custom French Doors
The outdated slider was upgraded with a beautiful 9 foot wide sliding glass door — bringing in more light, adding character, and dramatically improving energy efficiency.
Comfort Upgrades
Behind the scenes, we installed a new heat run and improved airflow to fix the long-standing cold-room issue. Now the living room is not only beautiful — it’s comfortable.
Powder Room: Small Space, Big Impact
A Total Refresh
The powder room received a full update with:
A standout tile backsplash that became the star of the room
Elegant gold fixtures and hardware
A modern, wall-to-wall vanity with clean lines
Stylish, warm lighting
Updated electrical for safety and convenience
A Pocket Door for privacy and space savings.
The combination of tile, lighting, and finishes made this room feel fresh, bright, and genuinely special.
The Designer Advantage
Working with Jyl Hoffend of Blue Jay Interior Design elevated the entire project. Her design expertise helped the homeowners choose materials and finishes that feel timeless, cohesive, and truly reflective of their taste.
You can feel her influence in every corner.
