A Home Full of Memories
Mila’s parents have lived in the same condo since she was nine years old. It’s where she graduated high school, launched her acting career, and even got her first dog (without permission!). But after 20+ years, the space needed some serious updating from its “Miami Vice circa 1994” vibe.
The Big Challenge
The biggest problem? A cramped kitchen that left Mom isolated during family gatherings. With weird walls blocking conversation and dated decor everywhere, Mila knew it was time for a change – even while very pregnant herself!
The Dream Makeover
Working with designer Breeze through Houzz, Mila tackled her parents’ space with love:
- Knocked down walls to create an open-concept living area
- Installed a spacious chef’s kitchen worthy of Mom’s cooking
- Added an expandable dining table for growing family gatherings
- Preserved cherished artwork from their journey from Ukraine
The Emotional Reveal
When Mila’s parents first saw their transformed home, her mom burst into tears of joy. Her dad’s reaction? He immediately claimed the perfect nap spot on the new couch!
“When you’re happy, you’re just happy – that’s it,” her father shared, beaming at his daughter’s thoughtful gift.
A Gift of Gratitude
For Mila, this renovation was about more than just updating a space. It was her way of thanking her hardworking immigrant parents who sacrificed everything to give her and her brother a better life.
“I desperately wanted to give them something I think they deserve,” Mila explained, watching her parents celebrate their beautiful new home with champagne and happy tears.
Now the family has a bright, open space perfect for making even more memories together – though Mila jokes she’s not sure if more family gatherings are “a good thing or a bad thing!”
