This is what happens when you pair a custom home builder and an interior designer…magic!
This kind of magic doesn’t happen like we see in movies or on HGTV—with the flick of a wand or a beginning and ending in under an hour. This magic has depth and history that carry it from conception to completion. It’s a story that goes back several decades when land was first purchased with the hopes to build a "Dream Home." Years of waiting, permitting and a couple of architectural plans later, Mike and Burgess Pilch broke ground and started building their forever home. Mike is a Managing Partner at North Market Construction, a local custom home build company with a mission to build better and smarter.
When the Pilch’s brought me onto their project to help with the design, it was long before the drywall. They had already picked a few finishes, like the random width red and white oak flooring from Vintage Lumber and the kitchen cabinets. “What is coming with you from your old home that we need to incorporate into the design?,” I asked. “Nothing, just a black piano gifted by my [late] father,” said Burgess.
A blank canvas is exciting and sometimes daunting for a home-owner. It takes one piece to set things into motion and the piano was it! I knew I had to carry the sentimental value of that piece into every room.
While interior design involves thoughtful selections implemented to perfection, it first requires a trusting relationship and understanding of what the client wants—that is when the magic happens. That is when you create something better than what they could have imagined! DreamHouseStyle.com
