When clients bring us in from the very beginning of a project, we’re able to help them find the house that will give them the best value for their money, and will be the right fit for their future dream home. This longtime client knew that when she was searching for a home in Laredo, and she called Pulp to help her find the perfect space. Together we found the right location and the right “bones,” and then we went to work on a complete renovation, including interior and exterior paint, appliances, reconfigured floor plans, finishes, and also furnishings for the entire house.

This home is a Mediterranean style that we transformed into a more modern and casual look through bright whites, brass, great artwork, and a blend of stunning antiques and contemporary pieces.

The entry of the existing space was really dark. The whole house is brick, so we painted everything white and added large mirrors with sconces to brighten the space. The new paint alone was transformative, and the mirrors help exaggerate the natural light, making the entire space much brighter.

This space originally had a sunken living room that didn’t lend to the style and function of the room, so we tore down the archways and filled in the floor. We redesigned the formal living room to be a hostess’s dream, including a bar with stunning brass inlay, a wine cellar with a humidor, and a custom cabinet to hide the TV using our client’s personal art collection as the doors.

In the kitchen, we reimagined the layout to feel more modern and highly functional. Tucked just beyond the main space is one of our favorite additions—a custom-designed pantry that seamlessly transitions into a private home office for our clients.

Pulp also designed a playroom addition for the home. One end of this room has floor-to-ceiling windows, so we wanted to create a space that would feel like the outdoor palette had flowed right into the room.

On the outside of the home, Pulp created an exterior wall with doors and planters to offer more privacy for the entrance of the house. It also adds incredible personality and curb appeal. There also is a new exterior kitchen that we added, and we refaced the exterior fireplaces.
