When the owners of this home reached out Tony Schenk of Renovation Sells Texas Hill Country, they had one clear vision for their vacation rental home: a lake/coastal retreat that felt like a getaway, every single day. They wanted a design that embraced blues, greens, creams, and natural textures—and our design team delivered. From a kitchen reconfiguration to a stunning primary bath redesign, this project was a full-home transformation that turned an outdated space into a dream retreat.
The Project Scope
Originally planned as a whole-home renovation, this project included everything from new flooring and fresh paint to custom cabinetry, a wet room addition, and an upgraded garage-turned-recreation space. Thoughtful design choices and strategic updates transformed every inch of the home into a coastal-inspired retreat.
Key Highlights:
Stunning Entryway: Installed a new double front door in a bold, welcoming color.
Kitchen Reconfiguration: Rotated and re-engineered the island for better flow, opened up the space, and upgraded countertops, appliances, and finishes.
Primary Bath Expansion: Created a spa-like wet room by utilizing closet space and updating the layout.
Functional Living Spaces: Added a new bunk room, redesigned the downstairs bar area, and improved lighting throughout.
Whole-Home Upgrades: Fresh paint, new flooring, tile, light fixtures, and hardware throughout for a cohesive, polished look.

Happy Homeowners
This whole-home transformation turned an outdated space into a coastal-inspired retreat that feels like a vacation every day. By reworking the layout, repurposing existing features, and layering in fresh, thoughtful design choices, the home now delivers the functionality, style, and relaxation the owners envisioned.
"From start to finish, they exceeded our expectations! The design team brought our vision to life, and Tony's consistent weekly communication ensured the project ran smoothly and efficiently. Since we weren’t local, having someone we could trust to oversee the remodel was crucial—and Tony delivered. The final result couldn’t have turned out better!" – Krysta W.
This project proves that strategic renovations can completely redefine a home—without losing its character or charm.
