Bellevue Craftsman

  • While the owners are away, the designers will play! This Bellevue craftsman stunner underwent an extensive remodel while its occupants lived in Europe. Almost every room in the home was touched to give it the beautiful update it deserved. A vibrant yellow front door mixed with a few farmhouse-style touches on the exterior provides a casual yet upscale feel. From the craftsman-style millwork seen throughout to the carefully selected finishes in the kitchen and bathrooms to a dreamy backyard retreat, it is clear from the moment you walk through the door that no design detail was missed.

    Being a busy family, the clients requested a great room fit for entertaining. A breakfast nook off the kitchen with upholstered chairs and bench cushions provides a cozy corner with a lot of seating - a perfect spot for a "kids" table so the adults can wine and dine in the formal dining room. Pops of blue and yellow brighten the neutral palette and create a playful environment for a sophisticated space. Painted cabinets in the office, floral wallpaper in the powder bathroom, a swing in one of the daughter's rooms, and a hidden cabinet in the pantry only the adults know about are some elements curated to create the customized home my clients were looking for.
