Flower Mound Ranch Style Home Transformation

June 9, 2023 Ruthie Staalsen

 My  client reached out to me about 5 years ago to help with their ranch style home in Flower Mound. 

 They hired me to consult with them throughout the remodel process. After the remodel was complete, we then did all the furnishings and decor for their family room and entry. 

BEFORE FAMILY ROOM

My client said when they purchased this home because they LOVED the property but the house needed SO much work as you will see in the before photos. She remembers sitting in this room after they purchased the home, crying saying “what have we done?” It was just all so overwhelming!!! However, they knew that it would eventually serve their family well. It’s the process that is just so daunting.

AFTER FAMILY ROOM

I don’t think she is crying anymore!! It has all been worth it! They wanted the space to seat their family well. The grandma’s love the swivel barrel chairs. They had the coffee table and I thought it worked well in the room so we kept it. The reclining leather sofas are perfect for TV watching and relaxing. They have plenty of storage and display shelves for their favorite things like his airplane collection 🙂

BEFORE ENTRY

They slowly picked away at things and have done so much to update this home. The stone work and benches are GONE! New hardwoods throughout ,new kitchen, new lighting, installed rustic beams, updated the staircase and much much more. I can’t with popcorn ceilings, they make me feel claustrophobic.

AFTER ENTRY

DESIGN CONCEPT

Here is the design plan for the back wall that I presented to the client. I always love to give them a vision of what I’m thinking. It may or may not be the same but most of the time it turns out even better.

AFTER

Turned out pretty close, don’t you think? We did do some change requests per the client's request.

BEFORE

The stone fireplace and bookshelves made the space feel cluttered and the client didn’t like the stone. We replaced it with something more simple that still has a ranch style feel.

AFTER

The client was really nervous about the dark color for the fireplace. I knew once all the furnishings were placed that it would be perfect. As designers, we see the full vision and our job is to keep our client focussed on the end result. The rug and the chairs make the fireplace come together. I just love the mushroom ottomans and the color is spectacular!

BEFORE LOOKING INTO THE ENTRY

The draperies around the entry windows, omg!!!

AFTER

The new front door is so gorgeous and lets the light come in.

SOME DETAILS

I love styling coffee tables!

Hope you enjoyed the tour of this newly transformed home!

This family room wasn’t very open to the kitchen. By eliminating some walls, and some awkwardly placed storage, we now have a more open space for entertaining family and friends. We also updated the fireplace. #dallasremodel #ruthiestaalseninte
I believe each living space should have ottomans for extra seating or for foot rests! Why not make them stylish ❤️ #ruthiestaalseninteriors #ottomans #homedecor #vintagerug #dfwinteriordesign #antiques #homedesign #familyrooms

Mixing unique and unexpected patterns comes naturally to us here at Ruthie Staalsen Interiors. Having a space that has several different prints could look and feel chaotic, however we can make it feel collected and interesting. #ruthiestaalseninterio

A Misconception

“One of the most common reasons people don’t hire an interior designer is cost. The misconception is that we’re expensive. Someone on a budget may think an interior designer may not be able bring style to the space with small amount of money. We’re trained to take space, budgets, and the client - designer relationship into consideration when working on a decorating project.”
— Jennifer Brouwer Design

My Thoughts Exactly

“As a society, I think we’re losing the confidence to be different. And that’s a shame. People look, dress and decorate their homes the same. No one wants to be an original any more. How sad that is.”
— Bunny Williams

Quoted by Designer Bunny Williams

“I believe that people should celebrate the wear, scratches, and other imperfections that they see. This is especially true with antiques. I mean, if you were 200 years old and been kicked around for decades, you’d be beat up too. But that’s what creates the character, uniqueness, and personality of a piece. I don’t think that that visible wear and tear makes objects less desirable. I think they make them better and more interesting. Great interiors aren’t the ones where everything is new. Just the opposite.”
— Bunny Williams
