THE NIRA PROJECT: KITCHEN REMODEL
This custom-built speculative, Wisconsin property was purchased in 2007 and after several years of being surrounded by 'honey-oak' flooring, cabinetry, and trim, along with too much 'dead wall' space, it was time to imagine something new. So, in 2019 The Nira Project ensued. Desiring to maintain a timeless design style, the owners opted for 'white-oak' flooring, ceiling height espresso kitchen cabinetry, dark trim, and classic quartz countertops.
The new, fully-functional center island is a double-wide, custom design to incorporate plenty of storage space, a prep sink, wine cooler, slide-out double trash bins, additional electrical outlets, and space to comfortably seat three people for informal dining or entertaining.
The weighty 'dead space' on the wall received a warm welcome when the decision was made to incorporate a custom coffee & wine bar; which is now one of the most frequented 'venues' of the home - from family and visiting friends, alike.

the firehouse: FULL HOME REMODEl
The Firehouse project was a complete remodel of a home in Milton, WI after a fire consumed the majority of the home. Thankfully, the homeowners were safe, and had excellent insurance. They decided to sell the property and move into a new location. Sitting on a beautiful 1/2-acre lot that extended to county land with a walking path out to a local lake, Kevin and Renee Clark, owners of The MDR House, knew this land was too precious to pass up. Along side a local custom builder, the property was purchased, and together, the team fixed it up and sold it at the end of 2020.

blue meadow project: bedroom redesign
Another project of traditional honey-oak-turning-yellow over time, this ensuite was ready for a primary bedroom update. Opting for trendy white trim, a lighter wall color, luxury vinyl wood floors, and a pop of blue to incorporate nature and pull the outdoor elements in from the walkout deck, the Blue Meadow Bedroom Project was inspired, and completed in 2021.

DOWN-under: Lower level kitchen/bar remodel
Down-Under was a project imagined during the peak of the 'stay-cation' measures when many were foregoing vacationing in 2020. Incorporating a 'lighter and brighter' feel, changing out carpeting to luxury vinyl plank (heated) flooring, and adding a full size refrigerator, dishwasher, and a two-tier granite countertop island that spaciously seats four was just what this lower level needed to incorporate additional entertaining options in this home.

Oasis in the city: vacation rental design pRoject
Oasis In The City was a vacation rental design project. Our Floridian clients purchased this Wisconsin property in 2023 with an intent to enjoy it as much as they could; however, they new that they would not be back initially as often as they had hoped, so asked us to partner with them in decorating it to their personal style, while also being comfortable, trendy, and user-friendly for frequenting vacation rental guests.
