Nolensville Reno

This client has a growing (extended) family of grandchildren and also entertains quite often. They needed a larger kitchen to accommodate a big crowd, while allowing her to cook and still have interactions with the rest of the guests.

By removing 3 walls and allowing for a more open concept entertaining, USI was able to provide solutions to fit her needs while attaining the farmhouse style she desired. 

 See before photos at the end to really appreciate the transformation. 

Franklin-Leipers Fork

So many love the farmhouse look but this homeowner truly has a farm house in the country with horses running, multiple dogs and tons of acres..... but it needed an update. To really appreciate this transformation, make sure you view the "Before" photos at the end of the project portfolio. New hand-torched, wide-planked,  hardwoods, pillars removed and replaced with large, chunky, "railroad tie looking" beams, german smear brick pavers, an oversized island, a professional kitchen and list goes on and on......Definitely one of our favorite projects!


Leiper's Fork Home Makeover

West Nashville Renovation

This client desired to transform their new home from the previous homeowner who had dated wallpaper throughout in the entire home.  All of the wood cabinets were orange-toned teak and 90's styling .

USI was hired to provide an updated, light, earthy, organic, tuscan country-side feel, by taking advantage of the beautiful natural elements ( beams, stones etc.). 

To really appreciate this renovation, one must look at all the moving parts: a full kitchen & scullery renovation, a stairwell conversion into an elevator, the removal of deco wires from the LR beams,  fine-tuning the beams to look congruent with the others beams, to a partial decor refresh in the Living Room, to a master bedroom suite furnishings update and bedding refresh, to wallpaper removal through-out the entire home, to a complete paint refresh, to a new dry bar in the bonus room, to lastly, a pool house bathroom refresh on colors!

Needless to say this home is almost unrecognizable in the before photos! (See before pics at the end).

Green Hills Complete Renovation

This couple purchased a lovely home in the heart of a beautiful, gated community in Nashville, however, the home was dated and needed a complete renovation to address the design and functionality challenges, as well as, the clients desired to transform this relatively traditional home into a more rustic and casual styling.

Pictures truly cannot capture this 15 room transformation, however, hopefully the before photos at the end, will display this major overhaul. 

Rooms addressed: Foyer, dining, living room, family room, kitchen, breakfast nook, vestibule, 2 powder rooms, 1 guest bath, kids J&J bath, master bedroom, master bath, landing area into the built in theater, as well as, all flooring, lighting & paint, some footprint modifications and the vast majority of new furnishings/decor.

Green Hills Home Makeover

Green Hills Refresh

This client recently purchased this beautiful home but it needed some updating.  Their goal was to transform this home into a modern, Mediterranean escape from the hustle and bustle of Green Hills, while serving their needs of regular entertaining and relaxing in retirement.

By painting the entire exterior and interior with a light color to brighten the space similar to what you see in the Mediterranean countryside, refinishing (and adding) hand-scraped, walnut-toned hardwoods throughout the majority of the home, embracing the existing Travertine through-out the home, painting the recessed space in the coffered ceilings, removing the built in's the living room, adding rustic, dimmable beams shelves (flanking the fireplace) and updating the powder room to name a few, USI was able to transform this dated Tuscan home in to their desired style.

By incorporating all new furnishings with a minimalistic approach,  USI was able to really showcase these gorgeous floors!  See before photos at the end to really appreciate this transformation. What do you think?

Arrington Renovation

By renovating the primary bath, USI’s team was able to correct underlying subfloor issues and refresh the space with a cohesive style that aligns beautifully with the newly updated areas of the home.

Kitchen updates included all-new cabinetry, countertops, appliances, backsplash, and lighting—along with the addition of an updraft hood that the space previously lacked.

In the dining room, we elevated the look by adding a new light fixture and installing detailed wall trim, transforming plain drywall into a more refined, formal setting.

Be sure to check out the “before” photos at the end—you’ll truly appreciate the transformation! Let us know what you think!

Horseshoe Bend Reno

This homeowner desired a partial home renovation focusing on the master suite,  master bath, sitting zone, master closet/ secondary laundry zone and adjoining bathroom.

With some creative thinking, USI was able to transform the original footprint of the master suite sharing the master bath with the adjacent bedroom.

USI accomplished this by rearranging the footprint.  The result was the addition of a separate, full bath in the adjacent bedroom, better use of space in the master bath embracing a wet zone for the tub and larger shower zone, a slightly larger double vanity, a tucked away water closet and larger master closet with a dedicated laundry zone that resulted in a small folding zone. 

USI also resized/restyled the fireplace allowing for a better use of space and flow for the sitting zone and bedroom furniture, while updating the decor to create a fresher look.

Key features to notate: full length mirror on the bath size of the barn door; custom illumination behind vanity mirrors which resulted in extra lighting; pocket doors for better use of space (and eliminating door congestion); and therapeutic pebbles flooring in the shower for extra beauty and function. 

Check out the before photos at the end to appreciate the transformation.

Franklin Complete Kitchen and LR Reno

This client envisioned an open-concept living space that offered a larger, more functional kitchen while still maintaining a sense of separation for entertaining.

By keeping the dining room in its original location, opening the walls between the kitchen and living room, and relocating the fireplace, USI was able to dramatically expand the kitchen, increase "usable space" and create a smooth, practical flow—perfect for a passionate cook.

Be sure to check out the “before” photos at the end. You won’t believe it’s the same home!

Franklin Home Makeover

This client desired a complete homemaker creating a bright, fresh, clean, yet, inviting space. USI was able to transform the clients inspirational photos into her empty-nesting dream home.

By incorporating various textures and mediums from the same genre and color palette, USI was able to accomplish a finished look that is both reflective of her style AND lifestyle.



Franklin (multi-room) Mid-Century Modern Makeover

This multi-room makeover encompassed a kitchen, master bath, master bedroom, spare bathroom, powder bathroom, hallway, landing area, living room and newly incorporated doggie zone. 

Because this client had limited space, USI had to create innovative ways to maximize their space needs, while producing the mid-century, modern vibe they desired.

We think this space is gorgeous! See before photos at the end to appreciate the transformation.

Franklin Mid-Century Modern Makeover (multi-room)

Nashville Kitchen Refresh

As a result from a storm taking out most of her appliances, this client wanted to seize the opportunity to make some design updates (from her kitchen renovation a decade ago), while adding a dry bar to gain some much needed extra storage in the adjacent space as well. 

The goal was to do a partial kitchen renovation (replacing her appliances), address the storage issues... while creating a few design updates, as well as, to add on a new dry bar that could serve as extra storage, provide a hidden dog bowl zone and an additional serving station.

In the kitchen, by eliminating the unused desk and taking the upper cabinets to the ceiling, this resulted in more space to accommodate a larger built-in fridge, a Wolf steam oven/wall oven combo and more storage. (see before photos at the end).

Lastly, by also replacing the backsplash, USI was able to tweak this already cute kitchen into a more current, timeless design, while maximizing every square inch of space.

See before photos at the end to appreciate the transformation.

Points of interests:
-a hidden nook for a step stool to allow for easy access (now that the cabinets are going to the ceiling),
-multiple towers with rollouts for small electric appliances, TV/computer combo and larger serving pieces, 
-a customized spice rack, 
-new upper, glass cabinets to the ceiling .... while maintaining the lower cabinets and countertops to reduce costs.
-larger floating shelves  to create a more open feel
-recessed hidden dog bowl
-a new dry/beverage bar, also serving as a secondary serving zone



Bellevue Master Bath Reno

This empty-nesting, aging client, desired to renovate their Master Bath into a more "aging-friendly" bathroom, that would allow for ease and functionally as time past.  

By incorporating a curb-less shower entry, with stylish handicap bars, ADA compliant commode, bench seating, recessed, hidden medicine cabinets and a wall mounted vanity light fixture, USI, was able to create a stylish, yet, functional master bath for this couple.  

Fairview Farmhouse

This homeowner wanted to update and transform this old farmhouse into a wonderful place to retire.  By removing the walls between all the rooms in this original compartmentalized home, adding square footage, and opening it into one open space, USI was able transform this home into their dream retirement home.

Bellevue Spare Bath Reno

This client wanted to upgrade their single vanity bathroom to accommodate a double vanity. By relocating the laundry closet that sat behind the back wall, USI was able to repurpose that area to create a dedicated water closet. This change allowed us to reconfigure the layout—transforming the original single-vanity setup into a spacious double vanity with added toilet privacy.
To maximize functionality, we removed the tub and designed a shower-only footprint, which provided the additional space needed to comfortably integrate the new double vanity. We also incorporated recessed medicine cabinets, offering significantly more storage than before and making this shared bathroom far more efficient and user-friendly.
