The kitchen was the starting point for this Hampton home. The existing space was dark, dated, and lacking the function this busy family needed. With two young kids, a love of cooking and gardening, and a lifestyle that revolves around the beach and outdoors, our clients wanted a space that felt lighter, more relaxed, and more reflective of their personality.

We brought in warm white oak lower cabinetry paired with soft, mossy-blue uppers to brighten up the space while adding just the right amount of color. Smart storage was key, with the kitchen designed to work hard for a family that cooks often, gardens, and is constantly on the go. We also made room for the personal details that make the space feel like theirs — including shells and treasures collected from years of surf trips.

We carried that same thoughtful approach into the mudroom, where organization was the priority. Floor-to-ceiling lockers with drawers below give each member of the family their own dedicated space — one for each person — helping keep the daily shuffle of backpacks, shoes, sports gear, and everything else that comes with a busy school year a little more manageable.

The finished spaces feel fresh, functional, and easygoing — a reflection of a family who doesn't take themselves too seriously and spends as much time outside as possible.

Next up: we're continuing into the dining room, where a custom banquette will sit beneath a wall of windows overlooking their garden, creating a spot for everyday meals and long dinners with family and friends.
