Kelliwood Home Office and Primary Bath Refresh | Before and After
We recently completed a home office and primary bathroom refresh tailored for a busy family of four. This project balances style and function—exactly what’s needed to support both work life and family life.
The Home Office

This home office was designed with a hardworking couple in mind. We created two distinct workspaces so each person has their own dedicated zone. No more sharing a desk or competing for elbow room!
To make the space truly theirs, we incorporated personal touches like books, décor, and framed family photos. These elements not only soften the room but also make it feel like an extension of their home—not just a workspace.


The Primary Bathroom

Mom, a devoted physician, deserved a calm space to unwind after long days. We reimagined the primary bath as a spa-like retreat right at home.

Here’s what we did:
Shower: We raised the ceiling that was oddly dropped in one area, immediately opening up the space. Light, bright tile with tight grout lines keeps it fresh-looking and easy to maintain.

Tub: We swapped the outdated jetted tub for a classic soaking tub. By sticking with the existing footprint, we kept costs in check while still giving the space a major upgrade.

Vanity: The original vanity was replaced with clean-lined cabinetry and durable quartz counters—both stylish and practical for daily use.

These spaces now offer the family exactly what they needed—room to work without distraction and a place to recharge after long days. It’s all about creating a home that fits real life, and we’re proud to help make that happen.
Kind words from my client:
We had a wonderful experience working with Karen. She is timely and very professional. The renovation completely blows me away. I get overwhelmed with choices, Karen really helped to make the process fun and not stressful.
When it came to the final details of decorating the space, I trusted Karen’s judgment so much that I went with whatever she recommended, and it always looked great. She also works with a great contractor who oversaw the construction. Everyone involved was very professional. I certainly plan to use her services again in the future.
