Chiquita Whole-Home Remodel

We lifted this home out of its ‘90s Tuscan rut into a more modern, updated aesthetic that includes standout features and special pieces. Our clients love sharing their home, from bringing their large extended family together to hosting company retreats, so we created entertaining-worthy spaces that also reflect their deep appreciation for art and culture. All new statement lighting and custom cabinetry make a major impact in the home. The clients opted to keep most of the original flooring, with the exception of the primary bath where we employed a gorgeous handmade tile from Arto Brick. We replaced the oversized, heavy fireplace with a sleek, modern design that feels more balanced in the space and introduced a gas insert for ease of use.

Both wood and stone play major roles in the design, with a strong vertical grain the clients love for the cabinetry and a stone that complements the wood with a softer pattern that still provides character. In the kitchen, we turned a forgotten corner into a cozy, inviting nook that’s now the anchor of the home–everyone wants to gather there! The clients asked us to curate original artwork for them throughout the home and we sourced the most amazing pieces that speak to them on a deep level. We also incorporated their heirloom Native American Kachina collection into the home’s design, bringing it all together with a truly special personal touch.
