Project Reveal: Bridlemile Daylight Ranch
Updated: Sep 9
Wise Design was approached by our lovely client to assist with their newly purchased home. Our clients had already undertaken extensive renovations but needed help in a few key areas. In the formal living room, a fireplace received a fresh plaster treatment, flanked with fluted cabinetry and floating shelves. A gorgeous rug by SMG Collective grounds our client's stunning furniture arrangement.
The hallway bathroom was entirely renovated with new cement tile from Zia Tile and custom white oak cabinetry, offering a functional yet fresh space for their children to use.
An unused room off the kitchen was a tricky puzzle. Our clients thought a small eat-in area by the kitchen would be ideal but it was too large and the space felt empty with just a table & chairs. Another formal dining room would be redundant. A combination den and eat-in area would be most ideal for how the space is used but how to combine both? The answer was a large custom U-shaped built-in that transforms from a sofa to TV console to kitchen banquette. All custom built-ins and casework fabricated by Clarkbuilt.
A fun wet bar in the daylight basement was also added for a quick drink & snack zone adjacent to the family/play room.

The U shaped built in is such a clever solution for a room that could easily have felt awkward or underused. I recently helped a friend rethink a similar space, and combining seating with storage made the room far more practical for everyday family use. Small design decisions can have a surprisingly big effect on how comfortably a home functions. I was also working on a design related project and found guidance from a professional assignment writer useful for organizing my research and ideas more clearly.
