West Enfield
Some of us are awarded the rare privilege of becoming stewards of our family homes, ensuring they grow and change with the next generation. For this project, our client was ready to redesign her West Austin childhood home for her growing family — and Amity Worrel & Co. was ready to make it happen.
After analyzing the three-bedroom residence’s floor plan and function, it became increasingly apparent that mere decoration would not suffice. A comprehensive overhaul was necessary to enhance the home’s daily functionality, aligning it with the needs of a bustling modern family. The back door, serving as the quintessential family entrance, inspired the creation of a custom-built catch-all unit nestled in a small corner space, designed to corral backpacks, coats, and shoes with effortless grace and organization. A pivotal rearrangement was proposed, relocating the home office to the children’s bedroom to nurture privacy and dedicated play areas.
Introducing area rugs throughout the abode, we sought to absorb echoes reverberating across the hardwood floors, crafting an environment that fostered productivity and tranquility — an essential requirement for the family’s bustling daily rhythm. With acoustics softened, rooms were further transformed with carefully curated paint selections, including a warm blush hue adorning the hallway, infusing every corner with a touch of warmth and sophistication.
The untapped treasure trove of the family’s heirloom art collection was also unveiled, poised to take center stage in the home’s new narrative. A meticulously crafted furniture layout provided new resting places for these cherished artworks, with a bespoke pedestal in the living room adding a touch of grandeur and reverence. Lighting played a starring role in the artful display, with picture lights illuminating the curated pieces in the built-ins, while wall sconces bathed the artwork in a gentle, inviting glow. When all was said and done, the treasures of the past and the heartbeat of the family were honored and celebrated in a way that truly paid homage to their significance and enduring legacy.
