Hanover House

This home languished on the market, for nearly a year, unsold.  The property owner asked me to update this property where it could be sold.  This was an extensive renovation lasting approximately 6 months.  All wallpaper stripped, all rooms and moldings painted, new hardwood flooring was installed, Carrara marble bath floors installed, all new plumbing with custom kitchen sink and light fixtures and bath mirrors, throughout.  On the exterior, a new Black Architectural roof replaced the green standing seam metal roof, all new exterior coach lights installed and front and rear landscaping refreshed.  Upon completion of updates, I staged the property with high end furnishings.  A Broker/Agent open was hosted with a wine and cheese tasting and a three string quartet who played during the showing, by the KW listing agent, Mr. Kirby Smith.  This high-end, over 5000 square foot home sold in three months. I absolutely had a love affair with this home to make it perfect.

Zsa's Place

Zsa's kitchen is finished with beautiful Paris Grey beveled mirror tile and black Absolute granite counter tops.  Hand applied Mica wall treatment and gorgeous light fixture. A few more pictures will follow.

The original garden window was removed and replaced with a solid piece of glass.  It is clean lined and opens the sight line to the rear garden.  
 
The new light fixture is such a gem, along with the gold geodesic cabinet knobs,   the space has truly undergone a huge rebirth.  Of course, my client also has excellent taste and we had so much fun searching and sourcing all the extra touches. The light coming from the window and reflecting off the beveled mirror tiles expands the size of this kitchen two-fold.  Although this renovation took much longer than normal (due to the Hurricane Harvey floods, lack of tradespeople and supplies) but this client is a very happy lady..

Connie's Fresh Farmhouse

Ms. Connie contacted me after her project had begun.  She was interested in paint colors, copper sink and faucet choices, cabinet colors and ideas for the remaining kitchen shelving, lighting and furnishings for living, master and dining rooms. The client was interested in a soft farm house look. 

This home went through the Harvey flood and needed a total interior renovation along with a few upgrades to master bath and kitchen.

Stucco Restoration and Full Exterior Paint Job

This was a full thee months project.  There was extensive prep work involving repairs, power washing, caulking every corner, crevice, soffit and piece of trim work, as well as seven sets of french doors and 36 multi-paned windows.  This was an absolutely perfect paint job completed by David Bown and Chad Chappel, local Port Neches custom painters.

Salon 910

The fresh face, of this sweet little Salon 910 Hair Studio, began with the downtown Port Neches Avenue business revitalization project.  The owner asked me to help with the landscaping and when that was underway, with the freshening of the exterior.

Texas Best Landscape in Nederland bid the job and supplied us with the flagstone for extending the porch area and flagstone pavers for edging the flower beds.  The nursery sent the manpower to place the paver edging, dirt and sand, as well as the plants for this project. 

The building received a freshly painted coat of SW Urban Putty with SW Dover White trim.  We decided to add Black shutters for impact and I thought we should frame the entrance with a dramatic striped outdoor curtain.  After about six samples for the front door, we chose this lovely, soft French Blue.  We selected double Pink roses, Oleander, a few Blue Russian Sage plants and Blue and White Clematis climb the two trellis.  We added a "bike" parking station because some of her clients ride their bikes to their appointments.   The little antique wrought iron stand is the perfect spindle width to insert your front tire and 'park it'!  

We had so much fun doing this little makeover.  With late nights and only the street lights to guide us on occasion,  we felt really blessed that when daylight illuminated our work, it thankfully looked really good.  The owner selected two really fresh looking pots in which we planted Sky Pencil Holly's.  However, we have yet to install the new outdoor porch light but I know it will happen soon. 

Texas Best Nursery Revitalization

One day last Spring, my friend Chris called and said, "Hey Jane, my business partner Jeff and I just bought a nursery.  They already had Texas Best Lawn Service and adding a Nursery seemed a practical thing to do, when clients wanted to add a few new pIants, and/or trees to their yards.  I want you to go down there and transform it".  Really, I am thinking, can I make that happen!!.  Well, as it turns out, I decided it was something I could do and along the way it was quite a learning experience and quite fun.  It was a challenge, on a budget for a brand new company and I felt like I had to see where I could take it.  The first thing that had to happen was to clean up the property.  The guys had taken over a nursery that had sat idle for several years and there was a lot of initial cleanup.  Of course, I had some help to move all the big stuff around.  

We power washed, we scrubbed and we called in an expert on Koi ponds (Mr. Garrett Ozment of Port Neches, TX owner of Koi Ponds of Southeast Texas) and got that started.  We wanted a destination place for people to come and shop for plants and perhaps to sit and enjoy the Koi.

There were a lot of maintenance issues, electrical, open wiring, sprinkler timers and plugs all over the nursery that didn't work and were potentially dangerous.  At that time, I had also been working on a "city business beautification" project in Port Neches and a friend mentioned that the  City of Nederland was doing a similar program, through it's Nederland Economic Development.  A   "beautification" project, for business owners to fix up the outside of their businesses, was underway.  Unbeknownst to the new owners, I visited the NEDC to find out what funds were available.  I identified what needed to be fixed, got the trades people's bids, took pictures, wrote the verbiage to support my findings and submitted it to the NEDC.  I called Chris and asked him to meet me at their office.  While we sat and **** reviewed the package, I was a bit anxious.  After a few minutes I asked if I could address any questions she might have and she said no.  Then she said it was the best, most professional package they had ever received for a business project.  Humm, my buttons were popping and as a result, the Nursesry was awarded a 5 figure amount to proceed with our beautification transformation.  Woohoo!

So all the electrical got fixed, the watering system got fixed, we got new signage for both the building and both corners, as well as funds to paint the building and a few outside structures that did not have vines growing through the lattice.

We moved plants, scrubbed concrete, rearranged pottery and re-landscaped the Highway frontage, fixed the waterfall on the highway side and watched while the sparkling Koi pond came to life.  It is beautiful.   Along the way, we hired new people to help with sales and run crews for landscaping.  

We hope you will stop buy, choose a few of the beautiful plants, trees or some gorgeous pottery to enhance your yard and home.  And be sure to see how the Koi are growing.  And by the way, they all have names, thanks to our star sales lady, Ms. Michelle Crister.  Great work!
