It's natural to have reservations about doing a home reno. It's a major commitment of time and money, after all. But, when it works out, your investment can really be worth it in the end. This was definitely the case in this jaw-dropping renovation completed by Katie Gebhardt of Solstice Interiors. The homeowners found the designer on Instagram and decided to give it a go."The clients did live in their home prior to the reno," explains Gebhardt. "They had been on the fence about how long they would be in the space and ended up deciding they’d stay put for long enough to update the home to better suit their needs and style in the meantime.""Their goal for the space was to make it more functional, classic, and timeless in style, while still introducing some pops of character and edge," shares the designer. "The client wanted to sprinkle in both mid-century modern and coastal elements, so it was all about creating a beautiful, but simple base and layering in those elements subtly."After Gebhardt got her hands on the home, it was practically unrecognizable.
