The narrative begins at the front door, a playful hint at the color story inside. The interior immediately pivots into something more expressive. It is a home that respects its roots while embracing a modern, artful energy.

Inspired by the whimsical designs of Kit Kemp, we treated the living areas as a canvas for pattern-play and tactile textiles. We mixed bold prints with classic silhouettes to create a "collected" feel that looks like it has evolved over decades. Every corner was designed to be as durable as it is beautiful, ensuring the colorful interiors can handle the joyful chaos of life with pets.

Because the homeowner works in historic preservation, we wanted to ensure her personal collections and sense of history felt anchored in the design. We peppered in meaningful objects and art, using vibrant wallcoverings and custom upholstery to give pieces a fresh life.

Designing for pets doesn’t have to mean sacrificing style -- we prioritized high-performance fabrics and clever layouts that allow the homeowner and her four-legged family members to move through the house with ease. It is a space built for entertaining, where the atmosphere is always relaxed, welcoming, and full of character.
