A Cohesive Refresh for Paul and Jelena's Florida Home

A Cohesive Refresh for Paul and Jelena's Florida Home

When Florida homeowners Paul and Jelena began renovating their house, their goal was simple: create clean, functional spaces that felt timeless, but with a few standout design moments. From the main bathroom and kitchen to the breakfast nook, living area, and den, every room connects visually, so a cohesive look was key.

 

Before and After: A Fresh Foundation

Their first move was brightening the space. Out went the yellow walls, and in came fresh white paint. Next, they unified the floors across all rooms with warm, wood-grain tile. These small but significant choices helped open up the home and give it a modern, airy feel.

Discovering Bicycle Glass Co. Mid-Reno

Halfway through the renovation, lighting came into focus—and that’s when they found Bicycle Glass Co. A quick online search led them to our handcrafted pendants and vanity fixtures. The couple instantly knew our lighting would be the perfect way to tie their refreshed kitchen and bathroom together. “Everyone who visits our home remarks at their beauty and the way they pull our spaces together visually. ” they shared.

Advice for Fellow Renovators

After living through delays and a few contractor missteps, the couple shared a few tips for fellow renovators:

Interview your project manager and make sure you understand every phase of the work before it begins.

Be your own advocate. Pay for materials directly and keep them on-site if needed.

Set clear expectations—especially with subcontractors—to help protect your home and your peace of mind.
