DESIGNING YOUR HOME, CREATING YOUR WORLD

Upscale Farmhouse – Mapleton, UT

When your client acquires a 1979 Farmhouse that has seen better days, there’s nothing quite like a complete gut remodel to breathe new life into its weary bones. Amidst the faded charm, the vision was clear – to rekindle the farmhouse’s heart and soul, restoring its timeless allure to a state of classic Upscale Farmhouse elegance.

The transformation begins the moment you enter. A vintage and raw porcelain checkerboard tile lays the foundation for the style that flows seamlessly throughout. From there, the journey winds into the heart of the home, where the mudroom and powder bath embrace the concept of raw and captivating thin brick flooring. This choice, both elevated and grounded, imparts a unique charisma to the entire abode. Often, apprehension swirls around the use of brick for flooring, but the natural charm that brick exudes – the way it looks, feels, and embraces the grout with all its glorious imperfections – is simply unparalleled.

As time paints its patina upon the brick, its allure only deepens, a living testament to the beauty of age.

In the realm of bathrooms, each space was meticulously crafted with its occupants in mind. The Boys Bathroom is a testament to unique masculinity, where a distinctive marble mosaic graces the floor, entwined with vintage black hexagons and hand-crafted wall subway tiles. A delicate dance between moody and sophistication ensues. Meanwhile, the Girls Bathroom invites you to revel in the classic charm of white octagon with grey dot porcelain flooring, reminiscent of the timeless farmhouse aesthetic. Progressing up the tub walls, the ordinary is discarded in favor of extraordinary. Enter machine-crafted tiles, an elevated twist on the everyday subway tile. With their play of colors and hand-styled textures, they usher the classic subway tile into a realm of pure artistry.

In the sacred spaces of rest, the Primary Bedroom and Bathroom take center stage. Arista white marble floors lay the foundation for opulence, while pearlized porcelain tiles embark on a symphony of elegance behind the tub, adorning the backsplash and dancing in playful patterns across the space. Every morning, as the homeowner steps into this sanctuary, a smile inevitably graces their lips.

However, the true excitement of this journey unfurls in the kitchen, where exposed floor joints on the ceiling stand as functional works of art. But, like any masterpiece, challenges arose – cabinet heights were at odds with this structural marvel. The solution? An audacious move – adorning the kitchen with pearlized handcrafted porcelain tile, stretching from counter to ceiling, even above the cabinets. The result? A breathtaking expanse of tile, an uninterrupted panorama of unique beauty that sweeps across every inch of the culinary haven.

So, as the dust of transformation settles, what was once a weathered farmhouse now stands as a testament to timelessness and rejuvenation. A classic Upscale Farmhouse, elevated and reimagined, where every space sings a harmonious ode to design, craftsmanship, and the enduring allure of a well-tended heritage.
