A Transitional, Bold Whole-Home Remodel in Columbia

The Wilson home in Columbia, Tennessee came to Sebring Design Build as a house with good bones and a design identity that had never fully arrived. Three spaces were the core of the transformation: the kitchen, where the family gathers and cooks and entertains; the primary bath, where the day begins and ends; and the laundry room, which in homes like this deserves to be a room rather than a utility closet.

The transitional-bold direction shaped every decision across all three rooms. Transitional design in this home means the warmth and material quality of a traditional sensibility combined with the clean geometry and deliberate contrast of a modern one. Bold means the contrast is real rather than hinted at: Bunker Hill Black cabinetry alongside Paint Grade Stone; White Oak in Champagne against Soapstone Metropolis countertops; a primary bath where the back shower wall in Kenridge Ribbon Black anchors a room built around white and warm natural tones.

The kitchen was reworked with a perimeter cabinet system in Stone and tall wall cabinets in Bunker Hill Black, the island and butler's pantry cabinetry in White Oak stained Champagne. Two Q-Quartz surfaces serve different roles: Soapstone Metropolis on the kitchen perimeter and butler's pantry for grounded warmth; Calacatta Monaco on the island for movement and light. Delta Broderick fixtures in Champagne Bronze carry the warmth through the room from the main faucet to the pot filler to the prep sink.

The primary bath followed the same material logic. White Oak cabinetry in Tatami at the vanity, Q-Quartz Calacatta Monaco countertop, and a tile system built around contrast: Neomi White Matte porcelain on the shower side walls and vanity walls, Kenridge Ribbon Black wood-look tile on the back wall, Sofia Charcoal large-format porcelain on the floor, and Adoni Black slate on the shower floor. Delta Champagne Bronze throughout the shower and at the faucet. Top Knobs Bit Pulls in Flat Black and Honey Bronze at the cabinetry.

The laundry room earned its status as a designed space. Paint Grade Stone cabinetry with Soapstone Metropolis countertops, a Blanco Liven laundry sink, Delta Coranto Matte Black faucet, and the same Riad White ceramic tile that grounds the kitchen. The hardware system, Top Knobs Brookline and Clarence in Honey/Bronze, ties the laundry room back to the kitchen and makes it feel like it belongs to the same hand.

Across all three rooms, no decision was made in isolation. That continuity, the result of a design-build process where designer and builder share a single accountable team, is what separates a whole house remodel done well from three separate renovation projects that happen to share a roof.
