Rosanne needed to put her house on the market after her partner passed away, and she wanted the renovation to respect what it meant to him. With the support of her sister-in-law, Allison, we came up with a plan to turn this cramped single-story into a warm, family-friendly space. We gave the entryway a major upgrade, adjusted the location of the kitchen, and removed a wall to create the ultimate entertaining area. Four weeks later, Rosanne’s home was one of the most desirable properties in the neighborhood—and proved to be worthy of its full list price. Congrats, Rosanne!

DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS
MIRROR, MIRROR
Like most of the other areas in the home, the dining nook is small, so we pulled out all the stops here. An easy trick for making a space appear bigger is to use a large mirror to reflect the light and give an illusion of depth; this large round option was (literally) the perfect fit. We also were extra thoughtful from a staging standpoint—placing six chairs around the table enables potential buyers to see themselves hosting dinner parties and game nights
STYLISH SEATING
Speaking of seating: Adding accent chairs to a living space provides bonus seating for guests without taking up as much room as sofas or overstuffed armchairs. The key is to find ones that are as stylish as they are functional (meaning no folding chairs!). We especially love this leather and chrome lounge chair, which we softened with neutral textiles, and this retro velvet barrel chair, which we elevated with task lighting and a cozy throw.
BLACK AND (FORMERLY) BLUE
Rosanne’s dated blue bathroom had us feeling very blue. As the home’s only full bathroom, it needed to be fit for a family and impressive enough to match the rest of the renovations. We took a dark route, adding a handsome black marble vanity with custom storage beneath. The seamless countertop and sink only enhance the five-star feel of the space.
