Living Out Loud with Joy
PALO ALTO, CA
The Ask: Add a renovation including the Kitchen and Primary Suite to the scope, with a 5-month deadline.
We were already working on furniture for many areas of the home when we got a call from the client asking what it would take to renovate a good portion of the home, in a short amount of time. We had a hard time saying no, so we pushed ahead with designing the Kitchen area, Mudroom, and Primary Suite. Prioritizing light, function, and flow, we set out to create a kitchen fit for a baker, a personal sanctuary in the Primary suite, and a home fitting for a gaggle of children and pets with durable finishes and joyful colors and art.

“The kitchen transformation was the highlight of this project. Opening up the walls flooded the space with light, while the double island and hidden pantry make this a true dream kitchen.”
