The Fixer-Upper That Started It All

Project: 1970's Fixer-Upper: Complete Renovation & Occupied Staging

Design Style: Transitional

In 2021, my humble fixer‑upper became the spark behind Modern Willow. What began as a simple renovation quickly evolved into a full design and staging transformation. From sourcing materials to refining every detail, this project revealed the impact of thoughtful design paired with intentional staging. The result was a home that shifted from overlooked to unforgettable, selling for top dollar in just five days.

Interior Styling Transformations

Styled to love it! This homeowner wanted to add lots of light and a refreshed feel throughout her home. The bathroom felt dark and dated. We picked a lighter paint color, updated textiles, and added modern accessories. The space became instantly brighter, calmer, and more reflective of the homeowner’s style.

BEFORE

AFTER

For this multi-purpose room, I partnered with the homeowner to declutter, organize, and transform it into a clean, functional office designed for two. The result is a space that feels more open, calm, and supportive of focus and productivity.
