FOREST FAMILY ADDITION: Real Life in Comfort & Style

This family home was already standing on solid ground in the vintage charm department, thanks to its original walnut woodwork, aged brass hardware, and those delightfully quirky nooks and crannies. A thoughtfully planned Family Room and Primary Suite addition transformed the floorplan into a generous layout that suits everyday family flow while also accommodating effortless entertaining. Classic materials formed the foundation for a carefully considered layering of color, pattern, and texture throughout the spaces. Today, old and new coexist harmoniously in this joyful, comfortable home.
