A complete gut of a 1950's bungalow was required to open up the small rooms and create modern spaces for this young family. Bright, contrasting colors work well with the subtle grey and white hues that permeate the home. Natural textures and material contrast with crisp white cabinets. Unique lighting sets the stage for a sophisticated yet playful central area where the family and their many guests can all gather around a large central island while keeping track of the football game on the living room TV. Kids can even play out back while mom keeps an eye out through the counter height window and large living room French doors.
