This whole house renovation and expansion supports the families activities and celebrates existing and reclaimed materials.  The existing exterior brick was retained as a focal element in the kitchen and stair with selected craftsmen beautifully executing custom details.   The expansion created new space for the family with a variety of settings including a fitness room, family and great rooms, outdoor decks, screened porch and fire pit for gathering.  Monica provided interior design, planning and project management services coordinating with the  project architect and construction team.

Monica is thoughtful. thorough, detail oriented, easy to talk to and easy to work with - everything you want in a designer.

Monica developed the design concept for this galley kitchen renovation, expanding the window line and developing a concept that is open, inviting and provides much needed additional storage.  The bathroom designs are refreshing and provide unique experiences.  A guest room is repurposed into a delightful home office setting. KSquared Builders constructed the project and brought the vision to life with perfect details.  

"Monica brings a great eye and creativity to her work, I'm pleased with the results!"  Wendy Putman

This renovation and expansion transformed the home's original  kitchen, bath, living and dining into a warm and welcoming space. The original pine flooring was refreshed and complemented with new wood details including columns and live edge walnut slab counters. Local stone was used for a feature wall at the new wood burning stove.  The spaces were redesigned creating a flow to the great room that delights family and friends.

Monica selected finishes and fixtures that enriched the new kitchen design and details.

"Monica's exquisite taste and eye for detail elevated our kitchen remodel from sufficient to spectacular. Working with her was fun and inspiring, and knowing that she is a pro with deep technical experience and knowledge gave us confidence to try ideas we never would have had on our own." Mary

Establishing a vision for the home's exterior refresh was the first step in designing this color rich exterior finish scheme.  Material and colors relate to the family experiences and memories to create a joyful visual composition.

"Monica helped us with an exterior color/painting project on our home, and we're so glad we found her! She listened to our needs, was extremely responsive, did an amazing job of translating our vision into different schemes, and then guided us through the process of making the right color selections that would bring our vision to life. We are so thrilled with the end result and honestly cannot imagine doing this project without her. It was evident from the beginning how talented she is and we trusted her completely throughout the process. It would be an absolute treat to work with Monica on another project in the future."

"Accessorizing around our sofa color was near impossible but she did it beautifully. We just love the space! "   Michael Fink
