Within Design transformed this 1970's home into a retirement haven for the new owners. The main floor was gutted to make space for a large master suite and walk-in closet, den, powder room, open kitchen, open dining room, and living room. The basement was renovated to include a spare bedroom, family room, full bathroom, wine room, and laundry room. Originally the design concept was inspired by the client's barn red kitchen appliances and farmhouse sink. As the renovation began, the concept evolved into a series of finishes and details, all reflective of a prairie farmstead. Several interesting elements in this farmhouse chic makeover include: an accent wall painted 'thunderstorm", a foyer light fixture that looks like field stones, wall sconces reflective of the shape and color of wheat, bead board wainscoting in the powder room, and hardwood floors that were slightly grayed to appear like weathered barn boards.
