Yokoyama Remodel

Opportunity

One Sammamish couple stood at a crossroads many longtime homeowners face: renovating their home or moving to something newer. Their bathrooms were outdated, the family room furnishings no longer suited their lifestyle, and the pink and blue living room had outlived its welcome. They were unhappy with the house’s aesthetics and questioned whether their home would serve them well into the future. They were weighing the practical aspects of renovation against the emotional attachment to a place filled with memories and neighborhood connections.

Results

Today, the house reflects the couple’s current lifestyle and anticipates their future needs while preserving the history and memories they've built over the years. The more open, light-filled spaces create a sense of relaxed elegance. The primary bathroom, once a space of potential hazard, now provides luxury and security. The family room has become a gathering place aligned with how they live.

Most importantly, each change was made with intention and purpose, creating a home that honors its past while embracing its future. For this couple, the decision to renovate rather than relocate has given them the best of both worlds: the comfort of the familiar and the excitement of the new.
