I am an instant-gratification decorator. When I get a vision in my head about charcoal walls or restoring a piece of furniture, it eats at me until I do something about it. I love how quickly things can change and I love the feeling that I did it myself. In the end, my house will reflect me more and carry more meaning to me than if I left it alone. This 1970s ranch was sold to a renovating power couple who immediately tore down walls, put up molding and turned it into their beautiful home.
Jamie Krywicki Wilson, interior designer, and Nick Wilson, project manager for a contractor, bought this Marietta, GA home two years ago. Since the time they moved in, they have renovated, remodeled or refreshed every room in the house — and mostly without any help. “I went into every home [while looking for a one to buy] with the intent to renovate. It’s a blessing and a curse when you’re a designer, but it’s great to be able to visualize a home’s potential before you even think about buying. I’m proud to say that other than the cased openings the contractor’s team made for us, every paint stroke, trim piece, shiplap wall and ceiling was done by Nick and I,” Jamie says. “We broke the house up in phases to make the work more manageable physically and financially. And I discovered it’s nearly impossible for me to not end up painting my entire body when a baseboard needs a fresh coat.”
Jamie’s cohesive, lived-in approach to interior design makes her home look put-together without feeling stuffy or formal. “We knew our home was the one because it checked all our must-have boxes and left us with a blank canvas to finally create our first home together,” Jamie says. “Nick left the decorating up to me. However, I always think it’s important for a home to feel collected and to tell a story about the entire family that lives there. To look and feel livable, so no one is afraid to make themselves at home.” The changes and the new layout of the space are set off with cozy, colorful pieces, creating an aesthetic that couldn’t be achieved without the couple’s hard work and clear vision for their home. —Lauren
