How did your first home look? Do you remember? When my husband and I got married, more than ten years ago, our first house was perfect for us, being newlyweds and all. We were quite young and we didn’t think much about the layout. We just fell in love with the home’s private and lakeside location. We felt lucky from the very start, but it didn’t take too long for us to want to grow our family and we realized that having the majority of the bedrooms on the lower level wasn’t ideal for us any longer, and that’s what brought us to buy our second house, but that’s a story I will leave for another day.
Luckily for these newlyweds, they had the expertise of the talented interior designers of Martha O’Hara Interiors to help them transform their dark single level home into a bright, Scandinavian-inspired home.
This home is located in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood right next to a stream, but the small windows weren’t able to pull in enough natural light, making the small, closed-in spaces feel dark and unattractive. The idea of changing the windows, opening walls and painting all the rooms white created a modern and open floor plan where this newlywed couple will be able to grow into this home comfortably and with style.
Take notes on the designer sources and ideas for this beautiful home.
The kitchen was completely renovated and it now feels bright and open.
