A New Front Entry
We paired the new door with a transom and a sidelight. The entry is the first thing anyone sees when they pull up.
Every elevation was reconsidered, not just the front. The lime wash carries around the whole house.
The Kitchen and the Pantry Behind It
White oak cabinetry, panel-ready appliances, and a Wolf cooking suite under a custom vent hood. The oversized island is Perla Mirage quartz with mitered edges.
The butler's pantry behind the kitchen holds a second refrigerator, an ice maker, a wine cooler, pull-out storage, and a prep sink, finished in coordinating white oak and quartz.
The Living Room Opened Up and Stayed Warm
We reconfigured the living room around a redesigned fireplace, with stained decorative beams overhead and custom built-ins framing floating display shelves.
A Suite That Works Like a Resort
The suite has its own fireplace, a freestanding soaking tub, and a dual-entry shower. The vanity is custom white oak under Broadway Black Leathered quartz.
Vanessa spent her earlier career building resort spas for hotel brands, and this suite is where that experience shows.
The Back of the House Opens Straight to the Pool
We replaced the fixed rear windows with Andersen sliding glass doors, which took structural work to carry the new openings. That is why there is an engineering firm on the team. A new elevated patio under an extended roof got a stained tongue-and-groove wood ceiling, recessed lighting, discreet heaters, and ceiling fans.
Underfoot, scored decorative concrete runs out to a refinished pool deck with a cool-surface finish, so the deck stays usable through a Texas summer.
