When our clients declared “we want this to be the fun house,” we knew exactly what they meant. Somewhere you can run and romp and twirl through a layout that breathes, where you can jump and lounge and snack on plush surfaces with no fear, where you can yell and yop and laugh around details like scalloped sconces and zippy pink trim that smile back at you.

When renovating a historic home, you’re always balancing honoring history or making it yours. We found the textures, colors, and patterns that do both, tap dancing on the edge of old world charm and the frenetic energy of modern life. It’s a family house that reminds you of the whole point of it all, which is just to enjoy the time you’ve got together.
