CT Light and Bright

Two thoughtfully scaled additions and a full kitchen renovation transformed this home into one that could truly hold a family of five. At the rear, a generous family room addition brings an easy, mid-century modern sensibility to everyday life — a relaxed hangout space where painted wood beams add texture and rhythm to the soaring ceiling above.

The kitchen renovation centers on warmth and natural beauty. Oak and stone work together to create a space that feels grounded and inviting, while a new bay window floods the room with light. A built-in bench beneath the window offers a quiet perch — the perfect spot for a morning coffee with a view of the garden beyond.

At the front of the house, a small but purposeful addition introduces a new side entry topped with a metal roof, leading into a fresh mudroom that keeps the everyday comings and goings of a busy household neatly in their place.
