Eclectic Redmond Residence

Remodel, Furniture, Art and Decor

This 1970s Redmond home once felt dark, cramped, and dated, with low popcorn ceilings and limited natural light. Our vibrant, well-traveled clients envisioned a modern, eclectic home that reflected their personalities and global experiences. We fully remodeled the home, sourced all new furniture and decor as well as custom commissioned artwork.

To brighten and open the space, we removed popcorn ceilings, added layered lighting, and increased natural light through new windows and sliding glass doors. Bright white walls enhance the airy feel, while thoughtfully curated artwork throughout brings a collected, worldly aesthetic that celebrates the clients' unique style.

Living Room
We transformed the dated brick fireplace with a mix of soapstone and black steel, extending the hearth for added coziness. A custom obtuse sectional anchors the space, creating a more conversational layout. Bold patterns, mixed metals, and a curvy black-and-white accent chair echo the kitchen backsplash, while a brass hammered coffee table ties into the kitchen’s pendant lights.

Entry
By opening up the enclosed staircase and removing surrounding walls, we welcomed in more natural light and flow. A straight-lined steel-and-wood handrail complements the staircase angles, which are further highlighted with a custom reveal. Black wood cladding on the entry wall and door adds visual height and impact. We transformed the entry closet into a stylish bar, creating a memorable first impression.

Kitchen
One of the biggest transformations took place in the kitchen. We raised the ceiling, added a window, and reconfigured the layout to connect with the Family Room. Matching the oak cabinetry to the flooring helps visually expand the space. A dramatic marble tile backsplash, paired with perforated brass pendants, adds depth and warmth to the clean, modern design.

Dining Area
This pass-through space remains light and open with a minimalist oak dining table and airy chairs. A sleek brass-accented chandelier adds elegance without obstructing views to the Family Room.

Family Room
We replaced an exterior wall with three sliding glass doors to enhance the view and bring in abundant natural light. A modern, three-sided fireplace replaces the old brick hearth, while layered artwork continues the collected, global aesthetic.

Primary Bedroom
A striking black-and-white lotus wallcovering pays tribute to our client’s Indian heritage and echoes motifs from other spaces. Lush textiles, vintage-inspired walnut furniture, and a glass-petaled chandelier create a serene and romantic retreat.

Primary Bath
This calm, spa-like space features Carrara marble tile and brass fixtures, offering a clean visual break from the adjacent bedroom.

Mudroom
A bold black-and-white wallcovering, designed by Michelle herself, is balanced by reverse-hue floor tiles and oak cabinetry. The contrast of organic and structured elements brings playful sophistication to this functional space.

Powder Room
A true gem, this space features a hand-carved Indian screen, gold mirrored ceiling, limewashed walls, and a glowing arched mirror—delivering dramatic impact in a small footprint.

Now, this once-dated home is clean, bright, and brimming with personality—a space that authentically reflects our clients' travels, heritage, and vibrant style.
