A WATERFRONT HOME BENEFITS FROM AN INTEGRATED DESIGN, BRINGING LIGHT + SPACE IN. HERE'S HOW WE DID IT -

BEFORE - SMALL entertaining Kitchen at end of family room was a dark corner

AFTER - ONCE the moldings went, there was a feeling of lightness



BEFORE - classic 80's english country kitchen had a lot of competing elements

AFTER - streamlinging most of them made for a much more modern effect



bEFORE - Vintage hardware and shiny granite dated the original kitchen

AFTER - honing the granite + lightening all the Painted surfaces created unity



AFTER - seamless built-ins + new windows don't compete with the view

BEFORE - paneling + moldings on the entertainment center created a heavy feel

BEFORE - the family room fireplace wall felt overly ornate

AFTER - simplifying the wall helped to create a strong focal point for the room



BEFORE - a variety of surfaces + tones competed with each other

AFTER- a marble floor + bleached treads + Bannister unified the view from foyer to family room
