Flow of Light
The new French doors that replace a single door create more of a grand entrance and allow the guest bedroom to be seen, even when the doors are closed. “We wanted to make sure we had light flowing throughout the house as much as we could, to make sure that the center of the house—which doesn’t have windows—doesn’t get too dark,” says designer Brian Patrick Flynn.
