The large main area of this condo is divided into living room and dining room. With a common wall measuring 35', adding architectural detail was a priority. We installed 1/4" thick MDF strips between the existing crown and baseboard mouldings and painted them the same colour as the walls, creating a subtle panelled look. In the dining room area, a farmhouse table is surrounded by upholstered wood-frame chairs with simple lines, while the captain's chairs are comfy, curvy, and glammed up with shiny nailheads and a black velvet abstract fabric. The white table is contrasted with an elegant charcoal buffet with silver details and topped by a vignette of curated vases and candlesticks in black and white. The area is delineated by an abstract cream and grey rug. Yellow lampshades are an unexpected jolt of colour, and harken back to the accents in the living room.

When the owners of a sprawling home in Baltimore County decided to downsize, they chose to turn over the house to the children, and move into an existing guest apartment on the property. The apartment was outdated and relatively small, so the existing space was extensively renovated and the footprint was expanded with a modest addition, including the creation of new a screen porch. A gourmet kitchen opens to great room and casual dining area, and a coffered ceiling was added to give the space old world character. To allow for graceful aging in place, the entire renovation was designed with accessibility in mind. Mitch Allen Photography

Daughters go to college—that's typical. But when they come home for the summer to find their parents now living in the neighbor's house? Not so typical. That's exactly what happened to Sue and John McKinley's twin daughters when their parents downsized to a house just two doors down. "We were already familiar with the home and liked its open floor plan and high ceilings," says Sue. "We just customized the interior to suit our tastes." In their kitchen, the couple worked with designer Suzanne Kasler to combine practicality with style. Photo by Erica George Dines for Southern Living
