Husband + Wife boutique Design+Build firm that specializes in Residential & Commercial renovations.

Chris and I are the owners of Reclaimed Karma, a boutique design + build firm based out of Marietta, Georgia. We pride ourselves on being a husband and wife team that specializes in kitchen and bath renovations, light commercial renovations, custom woodworking, interior design and residential/commercial project management. A few years back, we were given a huge opportunity to film a nationwide TV show with the DIY Network called “Reclaimed Reno”. Since then, we have also had the opportunity to partner with companies such as Habitat for Humanity, Home Depot, Varathane, Extra Space Storage and Weaber Lumber just to name a few. When we aren’t in the field creating and renovating, you can catch us across social media DIYing in our workshop and documenting our lives every step of the way. Chris and I are firm believers in good karma and we knew it had to be included in our name. We always strive to do right by people because we believe what goes around comes around. We are so thankful to be able to love what we do and do what we love together.

It wasn’t just about choosing a beautiful brick — it was the color, texture, mortar and all the little details that give a home character.
We carried North Georgia Brick throughout the exterior, from the herringbone front porches to the garage and our new courtyard.
Magnolia Bay gave us exactly what we wanted: warmth, texture and that slightly imperfect, old-world feel that makes the house feel like it has a little history.
And working with a local partner who knows the product, understands the details and truly cares about getting it right made the process even better.
Thank you North Georgia Brick for helping us give The Modern Cottage a little soul. 🤎

✨ THE REVEAL: THE MODERN COTTAGE ✨

A 1970s Dutch Colonial cottage, completely reimagined.

We wanted to preserve everything we loved about its charm while giving it a bolder, moodier, more modern point of view — and we touched everything.

Dormers. Black windows. New brick. Dark siding. Architectural cladding. Landscaping. Lighting. Window boxes. Furnishings. Every layer, texture and tiny detail.

Because great design isn’t always one big “wow.” Sometimes it’s a hundred smaller decisions that finally come together and just feel right.

This home has been our creative playground and our most personal project yet. We took risks, changed our minds 😅 and poured ourselves into every inch.

A 1970s cottage…

Reimagined. Refined. Revealed.

Welcome to The Modern Cottage. 🖤

It’s interesting how a home doesn’t really come alive all at once. The magic exists in the details. The mix of materials, textures, finishes, and those quiet little moments that somehow make everything feel intentional and complete.🖤

This journey has been such an exercise in layering old + new, warm + moody, polished + imperfect. And little by little, our Modern Cottage vision is becoming home. 🖤

Swipe Right to see what we think are some of the best parts starting with…

1. The architectural cedar-style shingles against the Diamond Kote Siding System Onyx siding

2. Aged terracotta planters welcoming you onto the front porch- potted plant design by the creatively talented Dianthus & Co.

ChamClad Charred Black cladding installed vertically, giving us the realistic look and texture of traditional Shou Sugi Ban

4. The ridiculously cozy CB2 sofa

5. Those oversized 48” copper galvanized window boxes 🤎

6. North Georgia Brick Magnolia Bay brick courtyard capped wing wall that makes the outdoor space feel like its own little room

7. Matte black floral rain chains — functional, yet so pretty

8. Antique brass sconces bringing just the right lighting against all the darker finishes

9. ChamClad Harvest Walnut cladding planks adding a touch of warmth with the look and texture of real wood

10. Unique Awning Pella Windows & Doors of Georgia Pella Windows and Doors positioned perfectly above the statement window boxes

11. And maybe one of our favorite you almost don’t notice it details — the 3” slim-profile black gutters that practically disappear against the Onyx siding

It’s those little architectural details that take a home from good to unforgettable.

That’s exactly why we partnered with ChamClad for all of our exterior accent features.

🖤 Charred Black on the back sunroom gave us the bold contrast and additional layer of texture we were looking for against our Onyx siding and Magnolia Bay brick.

🤎 Harvest Walnut on the front porch ceilings instantly warmed up our entryways—and we love that we don’t have to worry about carpenter bees
🐝 making themselves at home in our porch ceiling anymore.

🏡 To finish it all off, we wrapped our existing porch posts with ChamClad’s Charred Black Quick Click Column & Beam System, giving the front of the house that elevated custom look we were after.

The installation was fast and straightforward, and knowing we don’t have to worry about rot, fading, or constant maintenance makes it even better.

Running a design-build firm, we’re always looking for products that not only look incredible but are built to last. ChamClad checked every box for us.

Now we have to know...👇

Wausau Supply just touched down in ATL all the way from Wisconsin… and it’s install day!

Today we’re installing ’s pre-finished siding system, and honestly, it’s one of the smartest exterior systems we’ve worked with.

Imagine installing the very last piece of siding… and you’re done. No painting. No caulking. Did you get what I just said… no exposed nail heads to fill. No corner boards to caulk and paint no siding seams to caulk. NADA!!!

The entire system is engineered to create perfectly consistent lap spacing around the house, taking the guesswork out of installation. It’s clear they’ve thought through every detail of installing pre-finished siding.

Some decisions just feel right.

We chose Magnolia Bay brick from North Georgia Brick paired with Southern Ivory mortar, and it gave the house exactly what it was missing—warmth, texture, and that timeless character we’ve been chasing from day one.

Once demo was complete, Cat Contractors LLC got to work, and we couldn’t be happier with their precision and attention to detail. The herringbone brick on the porches added the perfect little design surprise, while the scraped and cleaned mortar application kept everything feeling old-world, handcrafted, and still modern.

The Modern Cottage is really starting to come together, and we’re loving every bit of it.

Huge thank you to the team for helping bring this vision to life.

What do you think of Magnolia Bay with Southern Ivory?

I had to do it! The song and work site paired to well. Drop a brick if you’d bang this on your worksite! .llc in the building 🧱

We had so much fun choosing our Diamond Kote Siding System color! Ya’ll showed up with the opinions! Onyx🖤 was the favorite, with Emerald and Cascade close behind.

But once we saw the cottage fully blacked out, we knew it needed more than one bold color. It needed texture. Depth. Something timeless to pair with Diamond Kote’s 30-year no-fade warranty.

So we headed to North Georgia Brick — the largest independent brick company in the U.S., headquartered right here just north of Atlanta — to start layering in that old-world, artisan feel we love.

We brought our siding samples, walked the showroom, and narrowed it down to a few brick combinations.

Now we need your help again:

Do we keep it classic with a red brick to tie into the existing brick on the house or do we go for that softer, more decorative German Smear look?

Classic Red Brick or German Smear?

When we chose Diamond Kote Siding System for our exterior facade, we made sure to used the same process we'd run for every client project. We took their design quiz, got a personalized color palette, explored different design options with their Home Visualizer, and ordered real samples (which arrived fast 👏🏽).

Our favorite part? How simple Diamond Kote made the entire process, and we loved being able to see the actual samples in the environment of our home, at different times of day. Screen colors just don't tell the full story.

We've narrowed it down to 5 finalists, all bolder, more modern, and exactly what this home needs to really pop:

1️⃣ Onyx�2️⃣ Umber�3️⃣ Emerald�4️⃣ Cascade�5️⃣ Midnight

This 1970s traditional cottage is finally becoming the modern cottage we've been envisioning. 🖤
Now we need YOUR eyes on this👇🏽

What a blessing it was to be invited to attend The Home Depot UnMatched Content Creator Event right here in Atlanta, Georgia. 🧡

We got to spend the week surrounded by The Home Depot’s incredible team and so many amazing creators. Some creators we already knew, and so many we have followed and admired from afar. Getting to connect, share stories, and be in the same room with people who are just as passionate about this industry was truly special.

The Home Depot absolutely set it out! From the hospitality, the food, the networking, and the exclusive insight into new products, to giving us the best seats in the house and an unforgettable experience at our very first FIFA games. Every detail was intentional!

More than anything, The Home Depot made sure we felt seen, valued, and appreciated as creators and as partners in this space.

We left inspired, grateful, and even more excited for what’s ahead. Thank you, The Home Depot, for such an incredible UnMatched experience. 🧡
