Chapel Hill Home Makeover
What We Did: Renovation Finish Selections, Lighting Plan, Front Door & Interior Paint, Furnishings, Area Rugs, Artwork, Décor, Window Treatments
The eye-catching front door of this home in Chapel Hill, NC sets the tone for the fresh, modern vibe waiting inside. We transformed the public spaces with fresh neutral-based color palettes and stylish details like adding a custom dining table featuring burl inlay, white-washing the family room’s brick fireplace, and adding shots of color and pattern with artwork and custom window treatments.
