Jolene Toder of JT Interiors recently completed a breathtaking renovation for a homeowner struggling with a layout that just wasn’t working for them anymore. With some of the home already updated, the kitchen and main floor remained the last and most challenging piece of the puzzle. From the moment Jolene stepped into the space, she knew this would be a dream project. The home had incredible potential, but it failed to reflect the homeowners or showcase their beautiful view.
To fully unlock the home’s potential, Jolene suggested removing all the walls to create an open-concept design that highlighted the stunning scenery outside. She provided the homeowners with 3D renderings and virtual plans, allowing them to fully visualize the transformation before work even began. One of the most significant changes was relocating the kitchen from the back of the home to the side, enhancing the flow and maximizing natural light.
Jolene completely reimagined the main floor’s layout, prioritizing what was most important to the homeowners—enjoying their view and starting each day with a perfect cup of coffee. To personalize the space, she designed a custom coffee bar tailored specifically to their routine. The new kitchen now features crisp white shaker cabinets paired with elegant quartz countertops, creating a timeless and sophisticated aesthetic. With these thoughtful changes, the home finally makes sense, both functionally and visually.
Beyond full-scale renovations, Jolene offers a range of services to cater to every homeowner’s needs. She works hands-on with her clients, as well, she provides one-on-one consultations, which she refers to as “coffee chats.” This is an hour-long online consultation that can be done from anywhere. Sometimes, all a homeowner needs is a bit of guidance to set them on the right path. Whether she’s leading an entire home remodel or assisting from the background, Jolene ensures her clients feel supported every step of the way. She will even FaceTime with clients while they shop for finishings, helping them make confident design choices in real time.
Her commitment to a seamless renovation process extends to working closely with trusted tradespeople. She understands that every project will have its challenges, but with the right team, solutions always emerge. Jolene works with many trades and will help homeowners get set up with their own trusted connections near and dear to them. This particular renovation also included a main floor bathroom update, where the homeowner played an active role in selecting finishings and tiles. Their involvement added a personal touch, making the project feel like a true collaboration between designer and homeowner.
Thanks to Jolene’s vision and expertise, this house has been transformed into a home that not only meets but exceeds the homeowners’ dreams. With JT Interiors, clients don’t just get a designer—they get a partner who brings their vision to life.
