Michelle’s Open and Serene Home
Name: Michelle Location: Brookland — Washington, D.C. My husband and I fully gutted and renovated our home in 2014. The house was built in the 1920s and is 4 square style. We have an open concept home and every space is fully functional for our casual living lifestyle. I am inspired by Scandi, boho, mid century design. Although our bedroom is our favorite room; we especially love our DIY kitchen concrete counter tops, our master bath tile and custom built double vanity we designed.

Before & After: A Townhouse Kitchen Brightens Up
This kitchen transformation is gorgeous for so many reasons (color! texture!) but I simply can not get over how much a difference the lighting made! A few brilliant lighting choices took this kitchen from small and dark to bright and inviting. From Shelly: We recently downsized from a 2,300 square foot home to a 800 square foot townhome. The small kitchen was dark, depressing and stuck in the 80s. We painted the upper cabinets white and bottom cabinets teal.
