Meadowlark Design+Build : January 6, 2025
Meadowlark was featured in an episode of My Houzz starring celebrity Kristen Bell. Released by Houzz, the leading platform for home remodeling and design, the My Houzz webisode follows Bell as she as she surprises her sister, Sara, with a major basement renovation in her home in Detroit, Michigan.
Working with Meadowlark, Bell transformed a dark, cluttered, underutilized basement into a beautiful, functional space for varying needs of the family of six. Bell found Meadowlark on Houzz and selected us based on our portfolio and great client reviews.
“It was a terrific experience working with Kristen on the surprise renovation for her sister,” said Doug Selby, CEO. “After she saw our work on Houzz, we used the site to plan, share ideas, and buy products for the remodel, working remotely with Kristen from her home in California.”
Check out her idea book on Houzz, where you can also shop for the products featured in the show.
These before and after photos of the space are striking. Take a look:
