The small eat - in kitchen was designed with functionality in mind. The clients needed as much counter space as possible for cooking and prepping, as well as a dedicated spot for their many cookbooks.
Soda Glass panels were used for the backsplash. The clients are able to write down recipes, weekly meal schedules and notes on the glass backsplash - making for a truly functional and personal kitchen. The extendable dining table was purchased to cater to their growing family.

Inspiration for a transitional wainscoting and wallpaper powder room remodel in Boston with flat-panel cabinets, gray cabinets, multicolored walls, an undermount sink and white countertops

This custom pantry is designed as a highly functional extension of the kitchen, offering both dedicated prep space and smart storage solutions. Built to accommodate canning, bulk items, and everyday essentials, it serves as an organized overflow zone that keeps the main kitchen clean and uncluttered.
Thoughtfully designed cabinetry and shelving provide a place for everything—from dry goods to large serving pieces—while dedicated appliance storage keeps mixers and small kitchen tools easily accessible but neatly tucked away when not in use. An additional refrigerator adds convenience for extra groceries, beverages, or prep ingredients, making this space ideal for entertaining and everyday living.
With its efficient layout and seamless connection to the kitchen, this pantry elevates both form and function, acting as a true working space rather than just storage.

Hall Bathroom
Designed for two growing daughters to share, the hall bathroom balances timeless style with smart functionality. Although the room has just one small window, a carefully curated palette of warm whites, marble, and soft color helps the space feel bright and open.
Traditional details—including wall paneling, marble hex floor tile, pencil trim, and a pedestal sink—give the bathroom classic character while maintaining an airy feel. The same marble flooring continues into the shower to create visual continuity, making the room feel larger and less segmented.
Storage was thoughtfully integrated wherever possible. A recessed built-in cabinet takes advantage of otherwise unused wall space, giving each daughter her own dedicated shelf for everyday essentials. A shallow ledge behind the pedestal sink provides additional storage while helping the room feel more open by aligning the sink wall with the shower enclosure. The finishing touch—a patterned wallpaper added late in the design process—brings warmth, depth, and personality without overwhelming the space.

Designed to maximize storage without sacrificing style, this custom floor-to-ceiling cabinet features dedicated compartments for linens, toiletries, and everyday essentials. The rich black finish adds dramatic contrast to the bright, spa-inspired bathroom.
