Oh My Styled Life

O’Hara Interiors’ remodeling projects are redefining the art of living beautifully in Austin. 

There’s something transformative about remodeling your home. The chance to reimagine a familiar space and rediscover the joy of coming home. We see each remodel as a collaboration between past and present, where thoughtful design brings new life to the places that matter most. Whether it’s a kitchen remodel in Barton Creek, a bathroom remodel in Lost Creek, or a home expansion to reflect new ways of living, our Austin-based team approaches every project with one goal: to create spaces that feel both elevated and deeply personal. 

Meet O’Hara Interiors senior designer Heather Chadwick, one of Designers Today’s 40 Under 40 Honorees, and an expert in classic design for modern living. 

The Value of an Interior Designer in a Remodel 

Remodeling a home is far more than replacing finishes or updating fixtures, it’s about understanding how design decisions connect to the way you live. Bringing an interior designer into the process early ensures that every choice, from architectural flow to material selection, contributes to a cohesive and functional whole. 

Our designers consider the big picture: how light moves through a room, where custom millwork can enhance character, and how existing architecture can be reimagined rather than replaced. In a recent Austin remodel, our team transformed a traditional kitchen into an airy gathering space by removing restrictive walls and rebalancing proportions. The result was not just a new aesthetic, but a new rhythm of daily life; one defined by ease, comfort, and connection.

How Furniture Shapes a Remodel 

Luxury design lives in the details, and furniture plays a defining role in how a remodeled space comes to life. Custom furnishings, built-ins, and curated pieces create continuity between old and new, bridging the home’s history with its refreshed identity. 

In one of our Austin remodels, emerald green quartzite countertops set the tone for a primary suite transformation. Every layer, from fluted white oak cabinetry to a handcrafted vanity stool, was chosen to complement a specific lifestyle while grounding the room in warmth and sophistication. When furniture is integrated from the beginning, a remodel seamlessly supports both the home’s design and the way you live.

Remodeling for Your Lifestyle 

Every remodel is a reflection of lifestyle. Whether it’s creating a home office that promotes focus, a wellness suite with spa-like serenity, or a great room built for family gatherings, design has the power to elevate how you experience everyday life. 

In the Lost Creek neighborhood, our team collaborated with Collard Carpentry to create a primary suite that perfectly supports daily routine. A custom walk-in closet features glass-front cabinets and thoughtfully sized shelving designed to accommodate specific clothing and accessories, keeping everything organized and beautifully displayed. The space flows effortlessly from the ensuite through custom paneled double doors, creating a seamless connection between the bedroom, closet, and spa-inspired bath, while herringbone floors lend subtle movement. Every detail reflects a lifestyle designed with intention: vibrant, sophisticated, and distinctly Austin. 

Our Austin design team brings decades of remodeling expertise to create spaces that reflect your story, your style, and your way of living. If you’re ready to transform your home, whether through a full-scale renovation or a thoughtfully crafted update, connect with us to begin your remodel journey.
