Touijer Designs is responsible for renovating this fixer-upper, a 1950s ranch home located in the coastal suburban city of Rye, New York. The property’s landscaping was completely overgrown due to neglect and the interior of this home was not much better. It was very dated, with shag carpets, low ceilings, and moldy walls.
The kitchen itself was straight out of the 1950s, with vintage appliances. Even with the spaces that needed updating, you could tell from the bones and flow of the house that it had amazing potential. The planning and renovation process for the interiors began soon after the purchase of the home in 2017 and took approximately two years to complete.

The goal of the interior renovation was to maintain the original footprint of the home, reconfigure a few walls to maximize certain areas, and redesign all aspects of the home. In the Spring of 2020, a Gunite pool, freestanding pergola, and outdoor kitchen completed the exterior side of the project.
What We Love: This fixer-upper project offers warm and inviting living spaces after a complete overhaul of the interior. Outdated spaces are taken from the 1950s to today’s latest design trends with stylish furnishings, fixtures, and a beautiful material palette. Contemporary artwork brings life to the spaces, while large windows frame views of the rejuvenated landscape for a feeling of relaxation. Overall, the designer did a beautiful job of completely refreshing this home for family living and entertaining.
