PROJECT EAKINS

PROJECT EAKINS is a project very close to home… well actually it IS Ariel’s home! Ariel and her family decided to purchase and renovate their first family home in Aurora. While extremely exciting and rewarding, it was also the most difficult project we’ve ever had to tackle – who knew that designing your own space would be the biggest challenge yet!?

Ariel and her husband fell in love with the location, incredible amounts of natural light, and the overall space that the house offered their growing family. Though the house had good bones, there were several changes that needed to be made in order to make it feel like a home. All three floors of the house got a makeover, improving both the function and the aesthetic of the space. Structural posts were replaced with beams, new light oak hardwood flooring was installed throughout, and every wall was painted a bright Chantilly Lace. All of the bathrooms were also renovated, all with their own unique personalities, and the kitchen was completely redone which improved the flow and function of the whole ground floor.

Post-renovation, the house is bright, spacious, warm and inviting. It is also an amazing space to host family and friends, and watch the whole family grow. Most importantly, it reflects the style of Ariel and her family today, and where they want to be for several years to come!
