“In the main living area, versatility was key. A large Made Goods coffee table anchors the space, scaled generously enough to hold beautiful coffee table books one moment and train tracks the next. Its multifunctional design made it a natural fit for a young family. An Interior Define sofa upholstered in a performance fabric offers ample seating while standing up beautifully to everyday wear.”

“Next to the sofa, oversized floral swivel chairs from Highland House add elegance and movement; their bold pattern cleverly disguises the inevitable traces of daily life with children, blending practicality with a sense of whimsy.”

“In the kitchen, a new island became the foundation of the space. Designed with function first and beauty close behind, the island is crafted from walnut for its warmth and longevity, as it wears beautifully and stands up well to daily life with children. Honed quartzite countertops were selected for their forgiving, lived-in quality. A sculptural plaster hood adds softness and architectural presence, while a linear fixture from Visual Comfort provides gentle, balanced light that anchors the room. Together, these elements create a kitchen that feels timeless, hardworking, and welcoming.”

“In the dining room, beauty and durability were thoughtfully balanced. A performance rug from Patterson Flynn grounds the space, offering the elegance of a traditional dining room while standing up to the inevitable messes that come with family meals.”

“The table itself is especially meaningful, custom-made by the homeowner, who enjoys woodworking as a hobby. It brings a personal, handcrafted element to the room. Overhead, a chandelier from Arteriors adds texture and visual interest, while mural wallpaper from Area Environments in a vinyl finish wraps the space, delivering high impact and exceptional performance for everyday life.”

“The piano room, painted in DeNimes by Farrow & Ball, sets an intimate tone just off the entry. Anchored by a piano handed down through the family, the space offers a welcoming spot for evening cocktails, quiet conversations, or little ones learning to play the keys. It’s a room that feels equally suited to gathering and reflection, blending sentiment with everyday life.”

“The powder room is one of the home’s most intimate moments. Finished in a moody, peaceful blue limewash from Portola Paints, the space feels calm and cocooning. A custom walnut vanity, designed specifically for the home, is paired with an unlacquered brass faucet that will patina beautifully over time. Adding another layer of meaning, crocheted pieces passed down from the homeowners’ great-grandmother hang on the walls, bringing history, texture, and a deeply personal touch to the space.”

“The lower-level bar was designed to seamlessly support both entertaining adults and the realities of family life, equally suited to hosting friends as it is to warming chicken nuggets for play dates, as it’s adjacent to the playroom. Painted in Green Smoke by Farrow & Ball, the cabinetry sets a rich, grounding tone, while a mirrored backsplash adds depth and reflects light throughout the space. Chic pendants from CB2 bring a modern touch overhead, and honed quartzite countertops provide a beautiful yet practical surface that stands up to everyday use.”

“Nearby, a custom banquette was designed with flexibility in mind. Anchored by a custom walnut table, the seating is upholstered in performance velvet from Kravet and a durable performance plaid from Zak + Fox, materials chosen to support the family’s dynamic lifestyle while still feeling elevated and inviting. Custom built-ins and thoughtfully layered furnishings throughout the lower level provide much-needed storage while adding visual interest, helping the space feel warm, comfortable, and ideal for gathering to watch television together.”

“In the primary bedroom, comfort was paramount. A custom-sized Wyoming bed from Beautiful Bed Company was an intentional choice, designed to accommodate Saturday morning family snuggles with ease. The palette is grounded and calming, rooted in soft, natural tones that create a sense of rest and retreat.”

“A cozy sofa sits at the foot of the bed, perfect for lingering over the morning paper, while also serving a practical role as a place to land pillows at night.”

A second living space located just off the children’s bedrooms, the family room was designed as a relaxed gathering spot for quiet Saturday mornings or winding down with bedtime books. Thoughtfully layered with function and playfulness in mind, it offers a comfortable retreat that supports everyday family rhythms.”

“With its angled ceiling, the room naturally lends itself to a cozy, tucked-away feel. Schumacher star wallpaper was used to add visual interest and enhance that sense of wonder, creating a playful yet grounded backdrop. A green mohair bed from Coley Home provides a rich pop of color—one that feels fun for a young child now, while offering the timelessness to grow with him for years to come.”

“With its soaring vaulted ceilings, the bedroom marked a transition into a true “big girl” space. This little girl had her heart set on a fairy room, which we interpreted in a way that felt imaginative yet enduring. Whimsical details, including fairy knobs on the Crate & Kids dresser, a wood canopy bed layered with playful fabrics, and a custom hand-painted mural, bring the space to life.”

“The mural, depicting a blooming flower garden complete with a tiny mushroom house fit for a mouse, was created by Louisiana-based artist Liz Russell, who flew in and completed the artwork over the course of a few days.”

“The nursery was previously an office and lacked a closet, so custom built-ins were added to provide both storage and character. Designed to grow with the child, the built-ins frame a cozy window seat that will easily transition from nursery to reading nook over time. Overhead, the vaulted tray ceiling presented an opportunity for something playful; a cloud motif paired with a contrasting striped pattern evokes the feeling of an open sky, adding softness and a sense of whimsy to the room.”

“The playroom was designed by the homeowners to offer endless opportunities for play, creativity, and imagination. Thoughtfully considered yet unfussy, it provides a space where the children can truly be kids, complementing the more layered and tailored spaces throughout the home. A true dream space for children!”
