An 87-Year-Old "Dated Bachelor Pad" Got the Dreamiest Designer Makeover
"It's important to work with an interior designer who understands the meaningfulness behind a home. That's why clients asked Hill Rondero, a designer who founded Charlotte-based Ro House Studio, to assist in the total renovation of their 1938 cabin. The home was gifted to the clients by their neighbor, who passed away, and Hill admits that it had "immense sentimental value." However, Ro House Studio specializes in working with homes with a story."
""The studio is known for effortlessly combining history and modernity with imagination and discipline in projects of every scale," Hill explains. "A mix of old and new gives each client a unique space, which they can continue to layer and enrich over time." Even though the two-bedroom house was built in 1938, it hadn't been updated since the '70s. It was Hill's job to give the home a second life, which meant updating every room while keeping the original layout intact."
Clients commissioned a full renovation of their 1938 two-bedroom cabin, gifted by a neighbor and holding significant sentimental value. Ro House Studio preserved the original layout and architectural 'bones' while updating every room and adhering to a set budget. The design blends history and modernity with imaginative, disciplined details, layering old and new to create a unique, evolving home. Soft, romantic details replaced the dated 1970s bachelor aesthetic, transforming the space into a joyful family retreat. Specified paint colors and curated furnishings reinforce the balance between heritage and contemporary comfort.
