Grand Lake Lakehouse Remodel Pt. 2

This lakehouse had been in the family for years but when a plumbing leak caused major damage, it became the perfect opportunity to reimagine the home for the next generation. The goal: create a space where kids, grandkids, and guests could gather, relax, and make lasting memories.

In Part 1, we shared the transformation of the main floor. Now, we’re heading upstairs—where two guest bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a bunk room were redesigned with comfort, color, and family in mind. Each room was gutted and refreshed with new paint, carpet, furnishings, and custom details throughout.

As Seen in TulsaPeople: The Flower Farm at The Studio at K|D in Tulsa

We’re honored to share that our flower farm was recently featured in TulsaPeople! So we thought it was the perfect time to share more about how it came to be and what you can expect this season.

The Flower Farm is a key part of The Studio at K|D—a dream that began when we purchased five acres in Tulsa to serve as the new headquarters for Kirkendall Design. From the beginning, Julia imagined an interactive, event-driven space that would merge design, nature, and community—complete with blooming flower fields.

From the beginning, we partnered with The Heirloom Acre Farm to bring that vision to life. Together, we prepped the land and laid the groundwork. From there, The Heirloom Acre took the lead—leasing the land, cultivating the flower fields, and managing all U-Pick experiences.

Once flowers are ready for the season, we will be open every Saturday, along with a handful of special events—including a monthly Sunset U-Pick on Friday evenings and private weeknight U-Pick experiences.

Expect to see favorites like zinnias, sunflowers, celosia, cosmos, snapdragons, lisianthus, dahlias, and more. Each U-Pick is $20 and includes a large mason jar you can fill with your choice of fresh blooms.

Event schedules will be posted at TheHeirloomAcre.com, TheStudioatKD.com, and on Instagram at @theheirloomacrefarm and @thestudio_at_kd.

The Studio at K|D Offerings

The Flower Farm is just one part of what makes The Studio at K|D so special. In addition to the seasonal U-Pick experiences, The Studio is available to rent for private events—with priority given to Kirkendall Design clients and their affiliates. It also serves as a beautiful backdrop for photographers, available to book by the hour for branding, corporate, and lifestyle sessions. To learn more about our space, visit thestudioatkd.com.

Grand Lake Lakehouse Remodel Pt. 1

When longtime clients called after a plumbing leak flooded their lakehouse—it was the perfect opportunity to breathe new life into their early-2000s vacation home. What started as a collapsed kitchen ceiling and damaged flooring quickly evolved into a full lakehouse remodel, transforming their Grand Lake retreat into a fresh, inviting space for weekends with kids and grandkids.

Located near Afton, OK, this Grand Lake home sits right on the water, offering scenic views and a peaceful escape just a short drive from Tulsa. The house sleeps nine and features three bedrooms and a bunkroom, making it ideal for hosting family and friends. The homeowners purchased this secondary home nearly a decade ago, and over the years, we’ve had the opportunity to design and refresh different areas. This recently completed project—also featured in TulsaPeople magazine—allowed us to reimagine the entire space with timeless finishes, thoughtful storage, and a modern yet relaxed interior design style.

This is Part 1 of the reveal—starting with the main living spaces and downstairs bedrooms, and how we brought new life to this family-favorite lakehouse.

Design-Build Services: Our General Contractor Role in the 2025 Showcase

As the General Contractor, Kirkendall Design took on the heavy lifting, handling the major renovations to prepare the space for the featured designers.

We gutted and reconfigured the kitchen, removed outdated built-ins and carpeting, and executed updates to lighting, paint, and a garage addition.

In addition to the renovation work, we guided the homeowner through the overall design direction, helping to balance preservation with modern updates. With a strong design-build expertise, our team managed the entire renovation process, working alongside Tulsa’s talented designers to transform this incredible historic home.

The ‘Why’ Behind The Studio at K|D

In the Fall of 2023, we celebrated 30 years of Kirkendall Design and the opening of The Studio at K|D! We want to take a moment to look at the ‘why’ behind The Studio and share some exciting updates.

Over the years of providing interior design services in Tulsa, we’ve built amazing relationships with our clients, helping them create spaces that reflect their unique stories. These connections and our desire to help people live fuller, more beautiful lives is what led to the creation of The Studio at K|D.

In 2022, we began renovating The Studio—previously known as Grogg’s Green Barn, a local plant nursery—into a stunning multi-use space. Now, it serves as our interior design studio and a versatile event venue and photography studio.

We’ve recently made a few updates to our Studio offerings. Here’s what’s new at The Studio at K|D!

Photography Studio

Whether you are a photographer, or needing photography services, The Studio is the perfect backdrop for your next photoshoot. One of the biggest changes since opening, is that you no longer need a membership to use our photography studio! Our focus remains on high-end lifestyle, corporate, and branding photoshoots, catering to business leaders and professionals looking to elevate their brands with fresh photography.

Learn more about our photography studio here.

Signature Events

Our outdoor space is now complete, featuring a turf lawn, pergola, and spacious deck—perfect for outdoor entertaining! Inside, we can host up to 120 guests for corporate functions, philanthropic events, and business meetings. While we specialize in corporate and philanthropic events, we also welcome select personal occasions for Kirkendall Design clients and referrals. Learn more or inquire.

Flower Farm

Our flower farm, managed by The Heirloom Acre Farm, bloomed beautifully during its first year, providing us with fresh flowers in The Studio. Our summer U-pick events, hosted by The Heirloom Acre, were a big hit. We’re grateful for their partnership and look forward to even more flower experiences next season!

Lifestyle Workshops

We offer a limited number of workshops each year, with past classes featuring cooking, gardening, sourdough bread making, and more. We’re working on the line up for future workshops. See upcoming events and workshops here!
