Brent Ache and Kate Schofield are an active couple with a 1-year-old daughter. They have little time to update their red Colonial house, but they want to bring in some style. Designer Julie Weber wants to get rid of the red, add in new colors and make the portico the focal point of the house. Landscape Designer Josh Dean adds a touch of whimsy with a woodland landscape.
