The Millwood Project

November 1, 2024

The Millwood Project is my very first home so it holds a special place in my heart. Our house was absolutely a fixer-upper (which is truly a severe understatement). When these plans were made, it was just my husband and I, young newlyweds buying our first home. Everything was fuzzy with cat hair, corners of the floors were covered in cat food. The carpet on the stairs was stained, and the walls were dauntingly uneven. Needless to say, we ripped everything out! My husband is quite the handyman, so he worked diligently on replacing all the floors and finishes, and I worked tirelessly on designing and painting every space. Every canvas painting we used was hand-painted by myself, which helped bring the entire space together.

Phase 1

A full bathroom renovation to create an organic & modern oasis. We just adored the genuine honed terrazzo tiles, glossy concrete shower wall tiles, the soaker tub, and the chrome Grohe hardware complete with rain shower-head. We love a mix of high and low, so the functional and spacious IKEA vanity and medicine cabinet really complete the space.

A full kitchen renovation to create a warm modern, functional space. Honed concrete tiled floors in grey with natural variation, black stainless steel appliances, butcher's block walnut countertops sealed with food-grade oil sealer, a star pattern textured concrete backsplash in light grey, glossy white sleek cabinets, extra long walnut wood handle hardware, an extremely functional Kraus stainless steel extra wide sink & faucet, with Benjamin Moore's Pale Oyster paint on the walls created the most harmonious kitchen we have ever seen thus far.
