Cottage Enhancement

This home transformation, seen here after the renovation was complete, was an easy fit for both the homeowner and Chip and Joanna. As soon as she laid eyes on it, homebuyer Kaley Eggers knew this was the perfect place for her and her new son.

Playful, Bright and Open

The kitchen was already fairly large, but Chip and Joanna expanded it further, reworking the layout and opening it onto the living and dining area.

Fun With Colors and Textures

Joanna wanted the home to reflect the client's fun style and eclectic sensibility so, for the main living and dining areas, she opted for a vibrant green wall paint and a mix of modern and retro accents.
