Hardy Interior Design

This Lake Oswego kitchen got a complete makeover - gutted, rearranged, and rebuilt to be more functional and stylish.

Here’s what makes this space so special:

➡️ Two-tone shaker-style cabinets: The island and vent hood are painted in a darker warm gray with a subtle gray on the main cabinets
➡️ Floor-to-ceiling storage: Including a cabinet with an appliance lift and plenty of space for sheet trays, spices, and small appliances
➡️ Hidden coffee and breakfast stations: Concealed behind cabinetry to keep everyday items accessible while counters stay clutter-free
➡️ Flexible seating: Featuring a small glass dining table with four comfy chairs (that match the dining room chairs), complemented by two barstools at the island’s overhang

Here are the finishing touches that bring it all together:

- Backsplash: Pietra Marais herringbone mosaic tile in the color Nero Natural
- Countertops: Q Stone quartz in the color Rolling Fog

One of the biggest transformations in this Lake Oswego remodel isn’t just about how it looks, but how it flows.

To create a more natural, intuitive flow in the family room, we rethought a few key transitions.

Originally, the guest bathroom was only accessible from the family room. Functional? Yes. Ideal for privacy and flow? Not so much. 🙅🏼‍♀️

The solution? Close off the original door and create a new entrance from the hallway.

Done and done! ✅ Now the bathroom has more privacy, and the family room feels more intentional and comfortable.

Small architectural changes like these make a huge impact. It proves that good design isn’t just about style, it’s about smarter living.

✨ Would you make this change?

Have you ever thought, “My bathroom could be so much better… I just don’t know where to start?” 🤷

The owners originally thought they would need to add on to make this primary bathroom and closet meet their needs. Instead, we took a closer look at the space they already had and rethought how it functioned. By stepping back and asking the right questions - how the room should flow, where space matters most, and what would make it feel worth the investment - we were able to redesign the layout without expanding the footprint.

The result is a bathroom that feels intentional from the moment you walk in. Thoughtful. Easy to use. Designed to last.

This project began the way so many great collaborations do 👉 with a few ideas and an internet search.

After moving to Lake Oswego, these homeowners found me through the ASID (American Society of Interior Designers) website. They had just purchased their home and could see its potential, but wanted help creating a complete, cohesive vision. Together, we developed a design plan that improved the home’s layout while adding cozy, intentional features like a new fireplace.

Their style leans transitional - an intentional balance of clean, timeless architecture paired with warm, livable finishes. Think classic bones, fresh lines, layered textures, and spaces that feel both elevated and inviting.

➡️ Over the next few weeks I’ll be sharing how we reimagined layouts, what materials we selected, how we blended new artwork with existing, and ultimately transformed every room in the home, including a kitchen overhaul that changed everything.

None of this would have come together without a great build partner. Huge thanks to AG Remodeling LLC, led by owner Alex Tsybikov, for executing the vision and bringing the details to life.

More to come, and so many details to share! 💚
