HELLO, SUNSHINE: Thanks to a whitewashed exterior and bright yellow front door, the simulated stone-and-stucco façade really pops.
BY DESIGN: In the living room, a few strategic design tweaks made a big impact. A row of windows were swapped out for sapele French doors, strengthening the relationship between the living area and the outdoors. A chaise lounge was recovered in an eye-catching purple hue to suit the home’s new vibe.
And built-in storage was added—its shelves vary in size to mimic the patterns of brick in the fireplace.
DECKED OUT: An inviting new deck runs the length of the house and draws the family out into the backyard.
EATING LOCAL: For a sleeker take on the traditional farmhouse table, Bryan Deel of Bryan Deel Timberwerks paired a hardwood top with a pair of Lucite legs.
“COAT” d’AZUR: A wall of bright blue subway tile delivers a splash of color to the modernized kitchen, with new stainless steel appliances, custom cabinets, and Daltile countertops.
ART WORKS: Christopher is on the board of directors at Redux Studios; his passion for art is reflected in the painting by area artist Bob Snead that hangs in the master bedroom.
MASTER SPLASH: Green glass tiles contrast beautifully against the contemporary white vanity.
