Franklin Ave

The Franklin Ave renovation in Des Moines brought new life into a home that needed a serious update. This wasn’t just about fresh paint or a few fixtures—it was a full-scale transformation. We focused on making every space work harder while giving it a modern, yet timeless, design.

The kitchen is the star of the show, with crisp white upper cabinets paired with deep gray lowers, and sleek white countertops that tie everything together. We installed a subway tile backsplash to give it that clean, classic look. The island doesn’t just sit there looking pretty—it’s functional for cooking, eating, and gathering. Modern stainless-steel appliances round out the space, ready for anything from a quick breakfast to a full holiday spread.

Next up, the living room got a serious upgrade. We updated the fireplace with a white shiplap mantel that draws your eye without overpowering the room. The soft green walls create a peaceful vibe, while large windows bring in tons of natural light. The combination of colors, textures, and finishes gives this room a fresh yet comfortable feel.

The dining area flows right off the kitchen, with rich wood flooring that adds warmth and pulls everything together. A simple but bold light fixture above the table makes it feel modern without being over-the-top.

Every inch of this home was considered—nothing was left untouched. The bathrooms now have sleek fixtures and clean lines that match the overall design of the house. It’s a mix of functional and stylish, with just enough personality to make it stand out.

This Franklin Ave home is now set up for modern living but still feels like a place you want to come home to.
