This historic Oak Park bungalow was reimagined for a growing family ready to layer new life into a smaller footprint. The goal was to preserve the charm and intimacy of the home while creating spaces that feel open, warm, and functional.

We leaned into a palette of earth tones, muted blues, and calm greens creating an artist-like softness throughout the home where each room blends gently into the next. Nothing feels stark or overly styled. Instead, the spaces unfold in warm, livable layers.

Furnishings were selected with comfort and durability in mind. Upholstery is soft and inviting, textures are layered, and materials are forgiving — designed to age beautifully alongside a growing family. The rooms feel collected rather than curated; relaxed rather than formal.

The kitchen shifts slightly brighter, opening the home with an airy lightness. Here the palette leans toward soft pastels keeping the space fresh and welcoming while still harmonizing with the deeper tones found throughout the rest of the house. It’s a kitchen that feels cheerful in the morning and calm in the evening — functional and visually stunning.

This home embraces its historic character while supporting the rhythm of modern living — warm, layered, and intentionally comfortable. A beautiful space to call home for the beautiful family that makes their home there.
