The Story Behind the Build

Designer: Emily Lauren Interiors   Photography: Lindsay Brown

This Spanish Oaks remodel transformed an underutilized upstairs into a fully reimagined second floor with a media room, kitchenette, guest suite, laundry, and mudroom. Timeless limewashed walls, soapstone counters, and custom cabinetry bring warmth and cohesion, while thoughtful details, like integrated riser lights, vented mudroom storage, and hidden hampers, elevate function and design. The result is an Austin home renovation that feels intentional, high‑end, and built to last.
