Home to a young, active family, our intention was to open up the warren of rooms to better accommodate an informal, family-friendly lifestyle. An addition allowed for a big new mudroom that provided entry into a large, open kitchen and family room. Upstairs we converted two of the four bedrooms into a master suite with a home office. Artful detailing respected the tradition of the house, yet was whimsical and contemporary at the same time.
