A decade after our first collaboration, the homeowners reached out as they were beginning a renovation. Their wish was for the spaces to be filled with energy, bright colors, and thoughtful functionality to support their busy family life.

The renovation expanded the entire back of the historical home to create a spacious, sun‑filled kitchen anchored by cheerful yellows and blues that glow in the morning light. Durable, family-friendly materials—including quartz countertops and easy-to-clean floor and wall tiles—were selected throughout to support the active household. A dedicated family organization wall in the pantry features hooks and custom yellow wood pockets, offering each family member a personalized drop zone.

The powder room adds a moment of surprise, much like “the colorful silk lining inside a tailored suit jacket” something the homeowners asked for. Upstairs bathrooms are functional and soothing.
