The gable roof allows for this soaring vaulted ceiling that includes tongue & groove pine and cedar beam accents. The outdoor fireplace is faced with multi-color flagstone and has a stout hemlock mantle. The fireplace burns real wood and has a gas starter.

Goal: Turn a starter home into a family home. In the mid-2020s market with interest rates heightened and home prices through the roof, more and more families find themselves looking to place deeper roots in what they bought as a “starter home.” This family bought their 1600 square foot home prior to having children, but they’ve now expanded to a family of six. Having fallen in love with their neighborhood, they came to us looking for a way to expand their shared living spaces while also reworking some of the bedrooms to allow older kids their own space. The project program includes a new primary suite and laundry room on the back of the existing bedroom wing. The three existing bedrooms remained virtually untouched with only limited aesthetic updates. Additionally, it rearranged the front entry door from a hidden single door to a welcoming double door and shifted the kitchen to allow for a foyer and increased dining room space. The kitchen opens up to the new secondary living room with a large island dividing the two spaces.

Featured on HGTV's House Hunters Renovation, this two-family starter home had no boundaries in design, while still managing to keep to a shoe-string budget. A custom mudbench in the foyer, a few kitchen updates, a new bathroom in the master bedroom, and an overhaul on the color palette, and VOILA! a tired home looks young and fresh again, just like its homeowners.

For conversation starters, Komal set the neutral palette against bright, blue accents.
