Elegant Yet Family-Friendly Craftsman Home

The owners of this Craftsman home wanted their space to look elegant and have plenty of spots where the family could gather. Thus, designer Suzanne Childress outfitted the interior with sensible, neutral furniture and pulled in dark wood pieces for contrast. A breakfast nook, cozy den and playroom encourage everyone to get together.
