Their top request for the home was to bring in more light. “The sheer number of trees and the rambling ranch architecture made for very little natural light,” Ellen explains. “They wanted a family home, with a big open kitchen/dining/living space, plus plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for them and their families.”
The flat slab fronts are dipped in Sherwin-Williams’s Yarrow, a yellow shade, and the wood hardware from Nice Knobs is stained the exact hue as the superdark butcher block counters from Home Depot.

These homeowners didn’t want a huge vanity, so we put the real estate into the space that mattered most to them, with room and natural light for plants.”
