A full-scale renovation turned its formerly small, dark rooms and narrow hallways into an open, airy space with a contemporary color palette and modern furnishings, perfect for a contemporary family.

The foyer of this updated farmhouse features sleek gray floor tiles and paneled walls, presenting from the very entry a juxtaposition that continues throughout the space. Once dark, dated and closed in, the house now features an open-airy floor plan with a contemporary color palette and loads of natural light. Modern furnishings blend seamlessly with period and rustic details.
