Jennifer embarked on a complete home remodel five and a half years ago, transforming a dated 1990s house into a modern dwelling. The extensive remodel encompassed every part of the house, with the kitchen posing a significant challenge despite Jenny's expertise as a kitchen designer. Living without a functional kitchen during the renovation presented its difficulties.

One of the recent updates involved installing hardware on all exterior doors. After an extensive search, Jennifer fell in love with Ageless Iron Hardware, particularly the Keep One Piece Handset, for its unique textured finish and rustic modern feel. The hardware installation took less than an hour, and the top-notch quality left a lasting impression on Jen, prompting her to consider using it in future projects.

Jennifer’s design style has evolved to reflect a modern rustic aesthetic with a warm and cozy feel. She enjoys blending old and new elements, incorporating antique pieces into her home for added character. Her design inspiration stems from social media, online platforms, and vacation destinations, where she observes and assimilates new trends.

Organizing and planning for a project is essential to Jennifer’s process. She prefers old-school methods like creating lists and mood boards to narrow her ideas before starting a project. Moreover, she strongly recommends seeking professional help for tasks beyond one's expertise, such as electrical, plumbing, or HVAC work, during extensive remodel projects.

For those looking to do their own home transformation projects, Jennifer advises starting small and gradually building confidence in DIY skills. By avoiding overwhelming oneself with the first project and seeking help when needed, homeowners can successfully transform their living spaces while honing their skills.

Thanks, Jennifer, for partnering with us on this front-door refresh!
