the Danbury project

This comprehensive renovation reimagined the entire main level for a couple who embraced both color and meaningful design. The project began with significant structural changes: removing walls to open up a cramped, dark kitchen and elevating the sunken living room to create better flow and functionality throughout the space.

Custom Craftsmanship: Every detail reflects thoughtful artisanship, from the completely custom cabinetry to the stunning handmade mercury mosaic backsplash created by local Minneapolis artisans. These bespoke elements ensure the home feels uniquely theirs while supporting local craftspeople.

Personal Narrative in Design: Working with clients who deeply value storytelling and meaning, every piece was carefully selected to reflect their personalities and experiences. The kitchen features their beloved "Goddess of Lost Items" artwork—a perfect example of how we integrate personal treasures into the overall design vision.

Design Philosophy: Inspired by Scandinavian aesthetics, we developed a confident primary color palette that reflects the couple's fearless approach to color. Rather than playing it safe, we designed around how they actually live, creating spaces that feel both sophisticated and authentically personal.

Client Experience: These homeowners were an absolute joy to work with—their openness to bold choices and appreciation for meaningful design made this project a true collaboration.

Services: Complete main level renovation design, custom cabinetry design, space planning, color consultation, art integration

Result: A vibrant, functional home that perfectly reflects the clients' lifestyle while showcasing exceptional craftsmanship and thoughtful design choices.
