Haymes Residence

With the help of Interior Designer Nicole Rutledge (Nicole Rutledge Design), Designer Chris Snowden (Christian Snowden Design) and contracting company Spruce Construction, the existing home, surrounded by lush greenery and majestic trees, underwent a meticulous transformation to capture the essence of mid-century modern style, embracing clean lines, open spaces, and an uncluttered aesthetic.

Throughout the interior, a neutral color palette is celebrated, featuring soft tones of whites and warm wood accents that seamlessly complement the natural surroundings. Large, open windows and a custom zen garden off of the Primary Suite welcome the outdoors in .

The heart of this home is the expansive open-plan living space that effortlessly flows from the living room to the dining area and the modern kitchen. A minimalistic Malm fireplace, surrounded by clean-lined furnishings and iconic mid-century furniture, provides a cozy focal point for family gatherings. The kitchen is a masterpiece of timeless design, featuring sleek, flat-front cabinetry, quartz countertops, and top-of-the-line appliances.
