During the remodeling of Suzanne and Bryan Jurich’s home interior, their living space metamorphosed into a timeless, classic milieu. Yet, more importantly, Suzanne proclaims, “the house also finally became OUR home.”
Making a house a home took on increased importance in this case, given that Bryan’s executive career has prompted the family to relocate often. Suzanne says this is the first house they felt they would be able to settle into for a while. “Every other place we’ve lived felt temporary,” she recalls.
Suzanne states they had hoped to achieve a clean, crisp aesthetic through the renovations handled by Hamtil Construction. The makeover projects, which included the kitchen, living, dining, sunroom and primary bedroom plus baths, actually started about six years ago with creating a bar in the lower level of this Chesterfield house.
“We did the kitchen in 2022, and three bathrooms were finished at the end of 2023. We really wanted a home with a neutral, but warm backdrop so we could decorate with bright, modern art. Hamtil was great about bringing my inspiration photos to life,” she explains.
While the remodeling design and results were straightforward, Kerry Staley, NCIDQ, Hamtil Construction lead interior designer, says there also was an exceptional layer of refinement. She says the mostly neutral background with the Jurichs’ home allows art, shapes and forms to speak for themselves, as if in a gallery setting.
“We achieved a warm and inviting aesthetic in this home that allows quality materials and textures to take the forefront,” Kerry outlines. “The design was just classic enough to stand the test of time but contemporary enough to feel of the moment.”
Kerry states that Suzanne's incredible eye for modern art adds the right amount of playfulness pointing to this young and vibrant family's unique style.
Along with the renovations leaving the home with versatile appeal, Suzanne says the updates certainly improved their lives by making the kitchen super functional as the space within which the family with two active sons spends a large bulk of time. “We’re blessed and lucky to have clients such as the Jurichs. To maintain a long-term relationship like needed in their remodeling initiatives takes a high level of trust and belief that we can guide them through the entire project development process, ” affirms Paul Hamtil, co-owner of Hamtil Construction.
Based on collaborative relationships with clients who often are professionals leading extremely busy lifestyles, Paul says their approach is to consistently provide turnkey client experiences, smooth executions and valued results. “We promise to deliver and we do, even in the details. Our clients trust and believe us when we tell them, ‘We got this.’ People love working with our team, too, and tell us they also enjoy their interactions with our extended trade partners,” says Paul. Likewise, Paul says his crew thoroughly enjoyed working with the Jurichs. “Suzanne even provided our team with snack baskets.”
