The Homeowners

Tom and Bridget Suvansri sold their home...before finding a new one! They're in a rush to vacate their friends' sofa, but also have a sizable wish list: An eat-in kitchen for the kids, a big yard and a luxury-filled master suite with a walk-in closet.

Kitchen, After

The large space accomodated the large island so important to the homeowners. White quartz countertops and white cabinets provide contrast against the dark brown, modern cabinets.
