Project Portfolio

At Refresh Home Studio, I believe in the potential of every space in your home. When I walk into a room, I immediately see the possibilities.  As you review my portfolio, I invite you to imagine your home in a new light - calm, stylish, organized - and most importantly, functioning for the life you're living NOW. ​

Teen Hangout

This underutilized lower-level room needed to work as a comfortable teen gathering space. We had custom walnut cabinetry installed to anchor the space. I refined the layout, lighting, colors, and styling to create a warmer, more intentional space.

Dining Room

This dining room felt heavy and overcrowded. I replaced the lighting, repainted, and restyled the space so it's now ready for family game nights and quiet dinners.

Painting & Styling

We said goodbye to the cluttered, dated countertops and had new stylish quartz installed.  I repainted the cabinets (SW Iron Ore), added new hardware and organized the items to create a stylish new look - perfect for hosting Friendsgiving.

Pantry

Not all pantries need a complete overhaul or look Pinterest-perfect. Some simple decluttering, organizing bins, and labels were all that was needed to transform this from a cluttered closet to a simplified family system.

Bedroom

This primary bedroom lacked character, color, and storage.  I repainted and restyled the full space and had a tailored storage unit installed. This featured extra organization space plus a unique coffee & beverage station for easy mornings and relaxing evenings.

Home Office & Craft Room 

This unused formal living room became a home office first by repurposing the old laundry room upper cabinets into smart storage. We then added a butcher block countertop, some new paint, lighting, and decor - now it's a great space for the daytime work and evening homework.

Closets & Drawers

I turned this chaotic closet into a color coordinated space by decluttering, organizing, and adding shelf dividers. Now it's easy to choose by color, season, and occasion.

Mudroom

What a change for the better this was! We had the old wall to wall closet removed and replaced with bench and storage in this catch-all mudroom. I repainted, purchased organizing bins and decluttered this space so now all after school and sports messes have a hiding place.
