For me design is not just about aesthetics; it’s a celebration of people—who they are, what they cherish, and the vibrant ways they experience life in their homes.

Meet Project 22, our goal was to reimagine nearly every inch of the main floor (minus the living room!) and transform it into a warm, cohesive, and highly functional space. This home needed to balance classic charm with modern functionality—and it had to feel just as good for quiet mornings as it did for entertaining friends. Challenge accepted

A stunning French range is now the heart of the kitchen. It’s paired with a large center island that adds both prep space and seating. White and grey cabinets along the back wall keep things light and modern. Warm walnut accents on the island and range hood add balance and depth. The result? A kitchen that’s as functional as it is beautiful.

We didn’t stop at style—this kitchen is packed with thoughtful storage so pots, pans, and pantry items are always accessible, but never in the way. Whether it’s meal prepping or hosting, this space is ready.

While we didn’t alter the layout here, we made sure this space flowed seamlessly with the rest of the updated main floor. We kept the couple’s existing furniture and layered in thoughtful touches like a modern light fixture and a Ruggable rug that not only ties the room together, but is also machine washable. Built-in shelves from Crate & Barrel, a sleek sofa from Room & Board, and functional window coverings from The Shade Store elevate the room even further. And the best part? The Samsung TV doubles as a piece of artwork when not in use.

With both homeowners working from home part-time, carving out a dedicated workspace was essential. We designed an office that allows for productivity and peace. Custom shelving and built-in storage make it easy to stay organized, while shiplap walls and tilting sconces bring in character and charm. It’s functional, flexible, and—thanks to the perfect amount of decor—beautiful to look at, too. (We wouldn’t mind working from here every day!)

To tie everything together, we carried elements like walnut wood, original-style molding, and soft textures throughout each room. We kept and replicated the home’s existing molding to ensure continuity from space to space. Small detail, big impact.


Project 22 is a perfect blend of tradition, functionality, and style—ready for working, cooking, entertaining, and everything in between.
