CLOSED-OFF SPACES, DATED FINISHES: A HOME IN NEED OF NEW LIFE

Before its transformation, this Long Cove home was defined by its segmented layout, aging finishes, and outdated flow. Walls separated the kitchen from the dining and living areas, making the heart of the home feel disconnected and confined. The entryway was lined with dated chair rail trim, and every space, from bedrooms to bathrooms, reflected a style and layout no longer suited for modern living.

The kitchen lacked openness and gathering space, while multiple bathrooms showed signs of wear with old fixtures and inefficient layouts. The laundry room and powder bath were tucked away with limited function, and the screened porch and garage were long overdue for updates. Though full of potential, this home needed a complete vision, and a unified Design/Build team, to bring it into the present day.

From flooring and paint to built-ins, trim, lighting, and structural updates, every corner of this home was ready for a comprehensive renovation to create an open, bright, and functional space tailored for Lowcountry living.

We began by reimagining the layout to enhance flow, connection, and functionality. Walls that once closed off the kitchen, dining, and living areas were removed, creating an open-concept layout perfect for both entertaining and everyday life. Our team carefully planned every room to maximize utility: including a new powder room entry, updated laundry access, and an expanded rear deck for future swim spa installation. Each design decision was made with the homeowner’s lifestyle and long-term comfort in mind.

An interior under whole-home renovation shows exposed wood wall studs, ceiling joists with pink insulation, and a stripped subfloor with debris scattered throughout.

Build

With the design finalized, our Design/Build team got to work transforming the vision into reality. We removed structural barriers, installed luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, and updated all electrical outlets, switches, and lighting. Every surface was refreshed with a full interior and exterior paint update. Built-in cabinets, a gas fireplace insert, custom trim, and modern finishes were added to elevate the home’s style and function. Bathrooms were fully renovated with new vanities, tiled showers, contemporary fixtures, and timeless materials.

An open-concept kitchen remodel features a large island with a granite countertop, dual pendant lights, and gray cabinetry, opening onto a stainless steel refrigerator, double wall ovens, and a living area beyond.

Enjoy

The finished home is now a bright, open, and cohesive retreat designed for Lowcountry living. From the reimagined kitchen and living spaces to the tranquil bedrooms and spa-inspired bathrooms, every detail supports comfort, style, and ease. With timeless upgrades, thoughtful flow, and intentional craftsmanship, this remodel isn’t just beautiful. It’s built for real life. A true transformation that feels like home from the moment you walk in.
