The Challenge

A busy financial professional—a repeat client—outgrew her previous home. There wasn't enough room for her dogs, and the layout felt cramped. Her new Wellesley home had beautiful light, good bones, and a generous lot, but the kitchen and baths were dated and there was no primary suite.

We'd already designed two homes together. This felt like a natural next chapter.

The Solution

We initially planned to carve a primary suite from an existing bedroom, but it soon became clear this home needed an addition. We created a spacious 2nd floor primary suite with abundant storage, added a sunroom below, and renovated the kitchen and bathrooms throughout.

A unified color palette—blues, greens, teals, and tans inspired by sand, sea, and sky—flows through the entire home. We kept her traditional furniture and refreshed it with high-end modern fabrics that uplift the vibe while keeping all the comfort. Thoughtful details throughout: tiles that evoke waves, a peacock feather kitchen backsplash, light-refracting marble, and a dog washing station in the mudroom.

Every detail was considered for daily living and entertaining—family visits, holiday parties, and life with her dogs.

The result is a home that feels effortless, elegant, and unmistakably hers.
