Hey there! I'm Burcu, a marketer turned passionate interior designer, and this is the captivating story of our Green Ridge home transformation.
The Search for Our Dream Haven
After months of hunting and visiting over 20-30 homes, we finally found our perfect match! It was crucial for us to discover a home with authentic architectural character that we could transform while preserving its timeless beauty.
A Story of Home Evolution
My journey began amidst the pandemic when I founded Design & Curations, a virtual design business. During the pandemic, I decided to take the leap of faith and started my Interior Design journey by studying at the Interior Design Institute. It provided the great knowledge and support I seek to start my own journey. This summer, my husband and I documented our renovation journey on my Instagram. Along with my recent virtual design projects, I dove right into designing our dream home, fusing family-friendly functional details with organic modern esthetics.
Part 1: Kitchen Full RenovationÂ
Our kitchen transformation was a complete overhaul.Â
We started fresh, reimagining the space's layout and introducing an island, while a neutral palette and authentic Zellige backsplash tiles from Morocco added character.Â
We carefully selected appliances that merge style and function, complementing our overall design.Â
Lighting played a vital role in brightening the once-dim space, creating an inviting ambiance.

Part 2: Crafting the Living Room Oasis
Our living room held stunning architectural arc windows, but it needed a style update.
Refinishing the floors to a bright oak color, painting the walls a fresh white, and revamping the fireplace became our focal points. I also added exposed beams, to add warmth and bring balance to the room. The transformation was a mix of rustic charm and modern elegance, capturing our envisioned aesthetic.

Part 3: The Sunroom Transformation, adding character!
The sunroom, a unique space bridging our kitchen and living room, needed character. We deliberated between Mediterranean terracotta and classic checkered board tiles, finally landing on the refined elegance of Merola Checkered Ruzzini Porcelain Tile.
Adding contrast with shapes (round table) and materials (porcelain tile, pottery, oak, rattan), we curated an inviting atmosphere with oak furniture and pottery accents.
