AFTER HAVING BUILT MULTIPLE HOMES IN
THE PAST, THE HOMEOWNERS, A COUPLE IN THEIR SIXTIES, WERE LOOKING FOR A HOME THEY COULD RETIRE IN. They wanted a light and bright color scheme with plenty of room to entertain their large family. " The goal of the project was to bring in as much light as possible," says Designer Sarah-Marie Lackey.
It was also important to have everything on the main floor for ease of access that would allow them to age in place. The home features three bedrooms on the main floor and a two bedroom suite in the basement for guests.
“ The kitchen is my favorite room in the home,” says Sarah- Marie,“ I love how clean and integrated everything is!” The homeowners entertain regularly and needed an open space with plenty of room for family and friends to gather. The kitchen features cabinetry in a mix of bluish gray tones and wood finishes for a very soothing color scheme. A side-by-side panel ready refrigerator and freezer blend seamlessly into the cabinetry and integrated wine storage keeps favorites on hand for easy access when entertaining.
