A traditional family home is brought into the 21st century by designers Ashley Tracey and Laura McLellan of The Design Co. See how they transformed the dated home into a contemporary space with a white palette.
Ashley and Laura used paint and oversized mirrors to make the rooms feel larger and brighter. In the living room, expansive windows allow natural light to fill the space. A baby grand piano gives the room a point of focus and bright artwork adds color. In the dining room, soft grey walls let the contemporary dining table and chairs steal the show, while a large oversized mirror expands the space. Wood walls in the office are a handsome contrast to the rest of the home. Ashley and Laura knocked down a dividing wall to create a modern open-concept kitchen that flows into the cozy family room.

The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. Cras purus turpis, laoreet eget hendrerit id, ornare commodo augue. Integer sit amet ante sollicitudin, luctus ipsum non, lobortis nibh. Sed felis ipsum, ornare ac varius vel, mattis sed sapien. Mauris nec tortor diam. Sed in ipsum finibus, sollicitudin nisl at, malesuada nibh.

I have seen many storms in my life. Most storms have caught me by surprise, so I had to learn very quickly to look further and understand that I am not capable of controlling the weather, to exercise the art of patience and to respect the fury of nature.
