From Dated to Dreamy: A Stunning Severna Park Remodel

Our clients moved into their dream neighborhood in October 2020. While the home had been well maintained, the layout didn’t quite fit the needs of their busy family life. At the top of their wish list:

  1. A landing zone to catch the daily clutter of jackets, backpacks, and more

  2. A larger, open-concept kitchen ideal for entertaining

  3. A laundry room relocated from the basement to the second floor

  4. A reimagined guest bath with better flow

  5. An updated screened-in porch — complete with a fireplace and the option to enclose it

Before- Every great transformation starts somewhere! This one comes with a guest appearance from our client’s adorable pup!

Our Professional, Perfected Process

This project spanned two floors and included a full reworking of key spaces:

  • Relocating the basement door and reconfiguring the powder room

  • Expanding and reimagining the kitchen

  • Opening up the family room for a more connected living space

  • Converting a former linen closet into an upstairs laundry room

  • Reworking the guest bathroom layout

  • Enclosing the screened porch and adding a cozy, statement fireplace

With so many moving parts, decision fatigue is common — but that’s where we come in. From finish selections to countertop choices to a custom kitchen layout, we guided the design process to ensure each space felt cohesive, intentional, and truly reflective of the family’s lifestyle.

Our Custom, Completed Creation

The heart of the home is now a bright white and white oak kitchen, anchored by a spacious island and bar — a perfect hub for entertaining. The open-concept design allows for easy flow between rooms while maintaining warmth and character.

But the true showstopper? The three-season porch. With its floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and cozy vibe, it’s become the go-to spot for relaxing with a book or enjoying a quiet moment with coffee in hand.

Our Happy Homeowners

Our clients couldn’t be happier with the transformation. They’re finally able to host with ease — and that once-uncertain porch addition? It’s now their favorite place in the house.

The new custom front cabinetry also solved their long-standing “landing zone” issue. What was once a daily frustration is now a practical (and beautiful) focal point near the home’s entrance.

Fun Fact

This home holds a special place in our hearts—not just because of the transformation, but because of the client behind it. Katie, the homeowner, loved the process so much that she joined our team! With a background in interior design and a natural eye for detail, Katie now plays a key role in bringing beautiful spaces to life for others. What started as her personal renovation turned into a passion-fueled partnership, and we couldn’t be luckier to have her.
