It features some of our favorite things: a cognac leather reading chair next to a fireplace, Scottish plaid fabrics, a vegetable dye rug, art from our favorite cities, and goofy portraits of the kids. We designed the primary bedroom as a relaxation sanctuary – something we highly recommend to all parents. The sink island works as a food prep area, and the bar island is for mail, crafts, and quick snacks. To make the kitchen more functional, we added a second island allowing us to separate kitchen tasks. The original kitchen design did not have exposed beams, but we decided to replicate the motif of the 30' living room beams in the kitchen as well, making it one of our favorite details of the house. Luckily for us, our temperate California climate makes it possible for the patios to be used consistently throughout the year.

In addition, we added patios to all the bedrooms to make them feel much bigger. So we carried the exterior front entry style into the interiors, too, as a way to bring the beautiful outdoors in. We wanted this house to feel the immediacy of its environment.

We planned a thoughtful redesign of this beautiful home while retaining many of the existing features.
