South Highlands Kitchen Remodel

Native to Shreveport, this young couple and their two daughters have lived out of state for school and work for several years and have finally moved home! They bought a house in Shreveport’s historic South Highlands Neighborhood knowing their home would need some updating---That’s where we come in.

Energetic, excited, eager….and in LOVE with Chip and Jojo! We set out to make this South Highlands home look like something right out of Waco and right off of HGTV’s “Fixer Uppers!”

Subway tile, shiplap and brick pavers, OH MY! We ripped out walls, patched up doors, polished up old, and installed new. Together with the homeowners we rearranged a few things for a more practical flow and topped things off with a few local touches! 

Here are a few before and afters:

Hard work and great homeowners made this project successful! I think Chip and Jojo would be proud! We LOVE the way it turned out!

The two that rule the roost around the house look like they're enjoying themselves!
Mission accomplished!

A huge "THANK YOU" to the guys at River Cities Flooring and all of our other subs who helped make this project possible!

The #shiplap craze is REAL!

If you’ve been paying attention in the design/remodeling world lately, (especially HGTV’s Fixer Uppers) then you’ve probably heard of shiplap. The shiplap craze is REAL right now. Contrary to what some may think, “Chip & JoJo” did not invent #shiplap, they're simply just showing it off to the world! “Shiplap” paneling has been around for over a hundred years! 

Historically used in areas with harsh climates, shiplap is characterized by long horizontal or vertical wood panels. Today, shiplap is very transitional---capable of giving a home a rustic feel, but could also easily fit into a very modern home. Whether you install or uncover (or even accidentally discover) your shiplap, it can be left its natural color or looks great painted!

Interior, exterior, ceiling, wall, accent, living room, bathroom, kitchen, bedroom—shiplap can fit in just about any space imaginable! 

The Red River Remodelers team is no exception to this love of shiplap. We have touches of shiplap in our own homes (and in our office, too)! Now don’t get it twisted, there is a time and a place (and amount) for certain design elements, and this is no exception.…we are definitely not saying you should go putting shiplap paneling on every square inch of every wall in EVERRRYYYY room of your house, by any means! We have had several clients who have requested this “shiplap chic” look recently, so we wanted to show you a few of our favorite rooms, uses and styles that incorporate this look!

And here are a few iPhone snaps of different ways we have personally used shiplap!
