Designers Ty Pennington and Alison Victoria transformed a small single-family home for homeowner Morgan, who craved an inviting space where she could entertain friends and family, and host holiday meals. The new open concept floor plan reimagined the living space and relocated the kitchen to the front of the house. The great room serves as an entryway, family room and kitchen with a large peninsula to seat guests.

The peninsula in the kitchen was designed to incorporate large pieces of solid oak which extend and cantilever from beneath the quartz countertop. The oak surface provides more dining space for guests. When fully extended, the surface feels more like a wooden dining table where guests can sit along one edge, or on either end.

Traditional white shaker cabinet doors, a matte engineered quartz countertop and an adaptable magnetic subway tile backsplash make the kitchen a classic space that can evolve easily with time. Morgan's previous townhouse was a shared space with roommates, and she lacked storage. The design team thoughtfully incorporated generous storage, as well as a double-wall oven to make it easier for Morgan to cook large meals for guests. The kitchen has a large peninsula to provide substantial workspace, and also incorporates seating for up to five guests.

The design team knew that Morgan craved a relaxing master suite, and they gave her just that. The large bedroom accommodates a luxurious king-size bed, and her suite boasts her own walk-in closet and a spa-like master bathroom. The team ran wide-plank oak flooring throughout the space, and took creative liberties in the bedroom by illustrating a delicate mural behind the wicker headboard to add a feminine touch.
