When we heard the words ‘new construction’ and ‘mid century modern’ we were intrigued. When we met the amazing people, relocating to KC from Chicago, that were wanting to make this dream happen, our intrigue became obsession. We had to get our hands on this!
The client’s were building with Cardinal Crest Homes, one of our favorite builders in town (remember our project with that teal island?), in a super cool neighborhood where modern row houses were making their debut. After meeting the fun and stylish couple and looking over the floor plans, the inspiration was already flowing.
They had already completed most of the structural design decisions and material selections for the home, which we were totally digging (hello Navy cabinetry!). That, along with some photos of the clients most coveted existing furniture pieces and a chat about their overall style set the groundwork for our part–-lighting, furniture, accessories, and wallpaper.

We created an overall design concept for the home, playing up the already clean lines of the construction details and emphasizing the textures and materials that ooze mid century modern. While we wanted the spaces to be stunning, livability is always on our minds, especially for fellow dog lovers. We selected materials that were pet friendly and durable in the living spaces, while adding boldness in colors and patterns (have you seen the powder bath wallpaper?!!??!!). We finished it off with some eye-catching lighting and played with mixed materials and personal touches for the accessories.

And finally, the results and the client reveal and reaction!
