Sometimes when you are pushed by limitations and break all the “rules”, magical things happen in a space. The space in this adorable (detail-packed) Tudor home started with a small kitchen that had seven doorways, 4 windows, several closets and a poorly functioning powder room crammed under a stairwell. The space was re-imagined to open…
Read MoreThe transformation of this little cottage by the creek was a work of love. The community in which it sits is where this family, a dad and his 2 sons spend their summer. The original structure built in c.1898 consisted of one main room and a porch built on nothing more than an old tent…
Read MoreEveryone ooohs and awwws when they see this finished kitchen. Can you believe it’s even more stunning in person?

They decided instead to buy the house next to their daughter in St. Louis so they could spend more time watching their grandkids grow up!…
Read More“Oh my goodness how do we make the ceiling work?” I am pretty sure that is the first thought that came to mind when I walked into this space for the first time. Here lives a young active family with a kitchen disconnected from the rest of the house – not going to work! You…
Read MoreThis beautiful, colonial home has good space in the kitchen. There is also an adjacent breakfast room and sunroom for this busy family of 7.
