The Kitchen

This statement-making kitchen gets its dramatic flair from the cabinet color, Pewter Green, while the white subway tile keeps things fresh and bright. A lot of natural light was another bonus for making this nature-inspired space feel like it brought the outdoors in even more.

The Media Room

This space proves cozy can be chic. A deep blue like Waterloo gives this room a playful vibe while fresh white hues and warm wood accents make it the perfect place to relax as a family.

The Primary Bedroom

Create a hotel-like feel with calming neutrals and modern, yet simple finishes. A bright neutral like Pure White gives walls a blank slate so you can bring in pops of color with accents and artwork that speak to you.

The Primary Bathroom

Take Emily’s advice and craft the perfect primary bathroom with luxury and relaxation in mind. A dark color like Cyberspace accentuates the classic paneling while adding a modern twist with warm textures softens the space.

Chic Storage

Add visual interest and extra storage in transition spaces, like this staircase landing, with functional cabinets in a bold pop of color that makes staying organized more fun. Grays Harbor is that perfect neutral that can brighten and ground a space.
