Designers removed a wall separating the kitchen and living room to create one large and easy-flowing great room. Painting the exposed beam ceiling gray and white helps call attention to the architecture.

The kitchen and adjacent dining area's design was drawn from nature and the home's midcentury modern architecture. Ikea cabinet boxes with mahogany and color block fronts made by Semihandmade were budget-friendly without sacrificing style. Bespoke ceramic light pendants are by Heather Rosenman.

Epoxy floors weren't easy to get right: It took five tries to get the ideal color and sheen. But their glossy brightness adds hugely to the overall fresh-faced, cheerful mood.

Chef-grade appliances are seamlessly integrated into the mahogany cabinets. The cabinets' select colored panels feel whimsical and unstudied, a very fun way to bring color into the space.
