COACH HOUSE

Project

A modest ranch house on an adjacent property to the larger family home was completely gutted and re-imagined to be the perfect place to host the homeowner's growing family of grandchildren. Fixtures and finishes were selected to be youthful yet classic, with an eye towards livability and durability for large groups and small children. Custom furniture allowed us to maximize the small living spaces and the kitchen design maintained flow and space for large family gatherings as a priority.

Inspiration

The family's history of life on the waters of Lake Michigan was subtly woven into the palette through fabric and art choices. Vintage sailing photos from the owner’s albums, depth charts and folk art are collected and displayed through the home. A calm and neutral color palette with accents of watery blue and whimsical patterns keep the cozy home feeling youthful, while vintage furniture pieces lend a casual vibe.

Clients

Loving and generous grandparents who wanted space for their rapidly expanding brood of children and grandchildren to come and stay. Sailors at heart—they desired that the renovated home would reflect their proclivity towards the lake.

 

“Rachel and Bryn were just amazing. They took a small house and made it just spectacular. Everyone who goes in the “little house” loves it. The colors are warm and comforting and decorations that they found were just right. This was a very big project, but they made it all seem very seamless. I would not hesitate in recommending Two Hands Interiors, you will be very happy.” - Susan
