she employed a variety of textures and
finishes, along with intermittent pops of
blue.
One of these intermittent pops takes
the form of a craftsman barn door which
leads through the mudroom and garage
to a back carport, where Dean keeps his
vintage car. A second barn door leads to
a walk-in closet in the master bedroom on

open shelves and clean lines. Things like
the fridge and pantry are integrated, so

shelves, like the dishes and the glasses."

fresh and bright. "The monochromatic

geometric mosaic tile and wall paneling.
