Inspired by the majesty of the Northern Lights and this family's everlasting love for Disney, this home plays host to enlighteningly open vistas and playful activity. Like its namesake, the beloved Sleeping Beauty, this home embodies family, fantasy and adventure in their truest form. Visions are seldom what they seem, but this home did begin 'Once Upon a Dream'. Welcome, to The Aurora.

This beautiful transitional kitchen was remodeled with Waypoint cabinets and brushed nickel hardware. This beverage fridge is located in the perfect location looking over the new living room making the perfect space for hosting and entertaining!

Description: This client’s motivation for remodeling and redesigning her kitchen was to create a space to entertain her large family. We got to work by opening up the kitchen to the living and dining spaces and adding seating to the island. The white and cherry Medallion cabinetry serves as a neutral yet textured base for this kitchen. The light blue subway tile adds a luminescent element that ties into the East Norwalk beach community of this home. The hutch piece is home base for all things entertaining; room for glassware and cook books up top, entertaining accessories in the drawers, while the base cabinets act as storage for liquor and serving dishes. After completing this project our client was elated to host jubilant multi-generational parties for holidays big and small.

The beautiful shingle home was built several years prior, but progress stalled and the interior was never fully finished off, creating more of a weekend crash pad than second home. We had 4 months to fully furnish and accessorize the 4+ bedroom home before they hosted a large family reunion. We tackled a function problem first. The home, with its open floor plan, had multiple types of flooring, which only served to chop up the space. Worse, most of the flooring was cream carpet and not suitable for waterfront living. We replaced the mismatch with durable driftwood floors that will stand up to years of sandy feet and party spills. We selected and installed all the finishing touches - furniture, window treatments, accessories, bedding and art. And we beat our reunion deadline by a week, giving the homeowners a chance to enjoy it all to themselves before the guests arrived

One of the best features of The French Chateau, is that it has enough room to be a wonderful space for entertaining.
