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.

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.

When Is the Best Time to Hire an Interior Designer?

A frequent question we get is: When is the best time to hire an interior designer? It’s a great question, and the simple answer is: as soon as possible!

Furniture & Styling Projects

When is the best time to hire an interior designer for Furniture & Styling projects? Some of the most successful projects begin at least 6 months in advance, and here’s why. Once a contract is signed, the design phase typically takes 4 to 6 weeks to develop a detailed plan.

Additionally, lead times for custom furniture can vary, sometimes taking up to 6 to 8 weeks to arrive. By starting design meetings in advance, it gives us time to thoroughly understand your vision, plan out the details, and ensure everything arrives on schedule.

Our Furniture & Styling service goes beyond simply selecting new furniture and decor; it’s about creating a home or commercial space that tells your unique story. From the design plan to selections, we manage everything from ordering, tracking, and installation. Explore our Silverthorne home for project inspiration.

Custom Home Builds & Commercial Projects

If you are starting a custom home or commercial construction project, we recommend that you hire an interior designer either before or at the same time that you begin working with an architect. This collaboration allows us to understand your vision, add custom design features, and ensure that the entire space reflects your style.

Of course, you can also hire a designer after your architect has completed the plans if your needs are more focused on material selections, finishes, and equipment and appliances (often referred to as ‘FF+E’ in contracts, which stands for ‘furniture, fixtures, and equipment’).

Our New Construction service offers complete interior design services for custom homes and commercial design projects. Our team collaborates with your architect, and/or builder, from start to finish, to ensure that every detail aligns with your vision.

Renovations

For significant renovations, especially those with structural changes, it’s important to hire an interior designer before hiring a contractor. Interior designers specialize in finding solutions to interior space challenges and can provide design plans that meet your goals and lifestyle needs. We are experts at reimagining spaces to create timeless and cohesive interiors that tell the unique story of our clients.

We also provide specification sheets or “spec sheets” for your project, which are crucial documents that outline detailed information about the materials, products, and finishes. These serve as a reference for both designers and contractors, ensuring that everyone involved in the project has a clear understanding of the design plans and requirements.

At Kirkendall Design, we specialize in home renovations and commercial remodels, including luxury kitchen and bath remodels. We work with you and your contractors to transform your space into a beautiful and personalized space that meets your needs.

Now’s The Time

As the year winds down, now is the time to start planning your luxury interior design projects for 2025. Start the process by scheduling your complimentary discovery call and design request form on our website.
