Colonial Style Update

While nice and perfectly adequate, the original home on Queen Anne didn’t meet the needs of a growing family and the finishes didn't reflect the tastes of the owners. The upper floor was reconfigured to add a luxurious primary suite along with light filled spaces for the children. On the main floor, a compact kitchen was opened up to create a better connection with the dining room. Strong, yet tasteful finishes were selected to create an interesting bridge between old and new.
