After raising four children and getting them launched, this single-mom homeowner decided to downsize and simplify so she purchased a 1970s condominium. The problem was, the new condo didn't reflect the her new hopes for the future. We came in, listened to how she wanted her new life and style to be, and created a look and layout that would reflect this new phase.

We opened up the old space to create a giant-room feeling and suited it with an island to match the new look. One end of the island is a dining and entertaining area while the work triangle of the kitchen is preserved at the other end. The island, space, and workflow is big enough for when the whole gang is home, but intimate enough for spending a quiet night.

The space is now open, fresh, light, sophisticated, yet cozy. And best of all it's a new look for a new phase in life!
