The Project
Join us for a tour of our recently completed #BakersBliss project! We reimagined the first floor by relocating the kitchen to a sunnier side of the home, ensuring ample natural light for their baking adventures.
We also converted a three-season porch into a bright four-season dining room and lounge with beautiful garden views, creating a cozy fireplace hang out area that has become the client’s favorite spot to relax after an intense day of work. We also added a Butler’s Pantry for baking essentials, a custom millwork display wall for cherished family china, and a much-needed Powder Room.
The Client
This busy family of five, with two full-time first responders, sought a transformative change to keep life simple and organized at home so it could be easy to maintain and serve their baking passion.
Inspiration and Our Approach
Raising the ceiling height was a key design choice, adding an airy feel to the space. The contrasting chocolate wood island against the white kitchen provides a sophisticated touch without darkening the room. Maximizing natural light was essential, leading to updated and new windows throughout.
The living room features a striking split-face stone fireplace with built-ins for extra storage.
Months later, we found the home impeccably organized, reinforcing our belief that thoughtful design makes it easy to maintain order—everything has its place!
