212 Souvenir Street - Camara Household Renovation

A complete transformation of the Camara family home!

This renovation brings a cohesive new look to the entire property, with teal as the signature accent color throughout both the interior and exterior. Combined with warm chocolate-brown herringbone flooring, natural wood finishes, and carefully selected furnishings, the house now has a much more harmonious and thoughtfully designed feel.

Exterior & Garden

The exterior facade has been harmonized with a fresh color scheme, coordinated details, and teal accents. New flower boxes add character to the windows, while the previously overgrown garden has been cleaned up and redesigned with lush landscaping, colorful flower beds, and a classic white picket fence.

The back porch has also been upgraded with a pergola and a dedicated outdoor dining area, creating a lovely space for the family to enjoy the garden.

Ground Floor – Entry, Living, Dining & Kitchen

The ground floor has been restructured to make better use of the available space while maintaining an open and connected layout.

The former windowless office area in the center of the house has been opened up to the stair hall. It now features a dedicated piano nook with built-in bookshelves, as well as a separate workspace with a desk and computer. The entry area has received custom built-ins, providing both practical storage and a more welcoming arrival.

The living, dining, and kitchen areas have been carefully defined while remaining open to one another. The dining room now includes dedicated niches for a bar area and buffet sideboard, while the kitchen has been redesigned with a more integrated, built-in appearance and plenty of additional storage.

Powder Room & Laundry

The former combined powder room and laundry space has been divided into two separate rooms. The result is a dedicated laundry room and a completely redesigned powder room featuring a striking teal accent scheme.

Second Floor – Primary Suite & Danah's Bedroom

Upstairs, the former walk-in closet belonging to the primary bedroom has been converted into a brand-new full bathroom for Danah. This allowed the primary bathroom to become a proper ensuite. The primary bedroom has received a complete makeover with a rich teal color scheme, coordinating furnishings, and carefully selected decorative details.

Danah's bedroom has also been upgraded with custom built-in bookshelves and a dedicated desk, creating a functional and personalized space.

Basement – Hobby Room, Sunken Terrace & Home Gym

The basement has undergone one of the most dramatic transformations.

The former TV room has been reimagined as a combined TV and hobby studio, complete with extensive built-in bookshelves and a new walkout opening directly onto a cozy sunken terrace. The terrace features abundant planting and comfortable outdoor seating, bringing much-needed natural light into the basement.

The sunken terrace is connected to the back porch on the ground floor by a new staircase.

An area of the basement that was previously unexcavated has also been fully excavated and converted into a dedicated home gym.

Jada & Tina's Bedrooms

The former basement storage area has been transformed into Tina's very own bedroom, while Jada also has a dedicated private room. Both bedrooms feature custom built-in shelving, individual desks, and their own distinct color schemes.

A brand-new full bathroom has been added between the two bedrooms, giving both girls their own comfortable and functional space.
