The homeowner spent her entire childhood in this house and cherished the memories made with her late mother. However, the house was built in the 1980s and it was time for an update to bring in more light and open the space. We started with a new spatial layout and increased the size of wall openings to create the sense of an open plan without removing all the walls. Adding a more functional layout and pops of color throughout the space, we were able to achieve a youthful update to a cherished space without losing all the character and memories that the homeowner loved.
