The family living in this shingled roofed home on the Peninsula loves color and pattern. At the heart of the two-story house, we created a library with high gloss lapis blue walls. The tête-à-tête provides an inviting place for the couple to read while their children play games at the antique card table. As a counterpoint, the open planned family, dining room, and kitchen have white walls. We selected a deep aubergine for the kitchen cabinetry. In the tranquil master suite, we layered celadon and sky blue while the daughters' room features pink, purple, and citrine.

In a corner next to the sofa a set of built in shelves were adorned with hand picked items. To finish off the beauty of the room, I added a small bar area to the built in for the clients' pleasure.

This project showcases thoughtful design at every level. Beneath the basement stairs, what's typically wasted space was transformed into a cozy reading nook—a small sanctuary for dreaming, reading, and relaxing.
Above, the staircase itself features clean, minimalist design: red oak handrails and treads paired with white-painted square balusters. The contrast creates a crisp, elegant look that complements the home's modern aesthetic while the hidden retreat below reminds us that exceptional design considers every square foot.
