Stone Fence | R026

The welcoming living area on the main floor celebrates the family’s love of music and art. A coastal painting by Virginia’s mother in law and a deep blue rug complement the Stone Fence | R026 walls in this space.

The family dog Polly is ready for her people to join her in this serene space. An updated fireplace surround in white tile strikes a beautiful contrast with the creamy Stone Fence | R026 walls.

Raven Grass | R072

An open concept kitchen and dining area is unified by warm, neutral Urban Calm | R031 walls. We love how Raven Grass | R072 accents and defines the bar-style seating at the kitchen counter.

Soft Sea Glass | R062

A great place to have a casual meal or just relax, Raven Grass | R072 defines the heart of the kitchen. A sweet pop of Soft Sea Glass | R062 makes the mud room at the back of the kitchen a point of interest.

Soft Sea Glass | R062

Polly supervises the kitchen from the adjoining mudroom, where she can access the backyard and her dog bowls. Inspired by the colors of the Pacific Northwest, Soft Sea Glass | R062 connects the inside of the home with the outdoors.

Bedtime Blue | R084

The white furniture, lighting and bedding in the en suite is beautifully contrasted by rich, moody Bedtime Blue | R084 walls. Warm accents tie this space together to create one of our favorite colorful bedrooms!

On the upper level of the home, Virginia has an airy and light home office space, for which she selected cool Dusk Cloud | R073.

Chickpea Please | R128

The nursery is also upstairs, and feels warm and modern with its Chickpea Please | R128 walls and complementary rug. Natural elements and textures work well with this cozy hue.
