HOMES OF THE TREASURE COAST
team of specialists that could handle the complex
60
remodel.
Throughout the renovation, Muller provided
multiple choices and a range of prices that
helped the owners decide where to spend
more and where to be more moderate. And
while she incorporated many of the couple’s
ideas, she was also very honest when she
thought an alternative plan would be better.
They liked that exchange.
Muller remembers the first time she
stepped into the home. “It was 1960s modern
with giant spaces,” she recalls. “I remember
saying, ‘Wow, this looks like an Austin
Powers movie set. Groovy, baby!’ There
were floor-to-ceiling mirrors and windows,
a sunken living room and a see-through fireplace
from the living room to the bedroom.
The finishes were dated but the scale of the
house wasn’t, so we had a lot of good bones
to work with.”
As seasoned remodelers, Muller says the
couple understood what turning a house
from ‘promising’ into ‘wow’ involved and
gave the project the time it deserved. “A lot
of time is spent in the development stage as
we like to customize homes to the lifestyle
and personality of our clients. We follow a
design process that is systematic, yet with
plenty of room for creativity and coloring
outside the lines.” >>
