Soft, neutral tones are a great choice for large furnishings, like a sofa. It allows you to experiment with fun accessories that can be easily swapped out, as your tastes change.

Swapping the kitchen and the family room created the appropriate sized spaces for all functions, rather than having them all crammed together.

This "basic" style garden swaps out the typical Douglas fir base for one made of cedar for greater longevity.

Bright airy kitchen that marries the old and the new. Original plaster crown detailing is restored while a modern new kitchen is inserted to offer clean lines and efficient kitchen workspace. Wood paneling at the dining nook draws the eye to the floor to ceiling window and door. Warm white oak cabinetry coupled with white uppers provides a open lightness to the space.

The kitchen pulls in a clean, modern aesthetic with a neutral palette of warm wood, bright white, and crisp black materials.

This playful kids’ room is full of color, pattern, and imagination. A hand-drawn cityscape and trolley wallpaper mural sets a whimsical backdrop, complemented by a window with a beige Roman shade. A lime green bean bag adds a cozy seating spot, while a bright triangular-patterned rug in pink, yellow, orange, blue, white, and gray energizes the floor. A white pedestal table with three bright orange chairs encourages creative play, paired with toy storage bins and an artsy ceiling light to complete this lively, functional, and fun-filled space.
