Frame, Focused & Functional

To add functionality and focus to their living room, the owners embraced a midcentury modern design with cherry stain-grade base cabinets and matching floating shelves—perfect for displaying colorful children’s books. A waterfall countertop edge flows into vertical grain-matched drawer fronts, while a new framed wall and soffit house an HVAC return. Crown moulding and updated electrical complete this small-footprint, detail-rich transformation.

Thoughtfully layered around those new built-ins, the room now works as a true family hub—part library, part play zone, part place to unwind. The fireplace wall becomes the visual anchor, framing everything from story time to game night, while the expansive windows wash the space with natural light. Comfortable seating, durable finishes, and a calm, neutral backdrop let books, toys, and artwork bring the color, creating a bright gathering space that feels both relaxed and intentionally put together.
