A gathering spot for a large family was the total focus of this renovation. We needed to make this home comfortable for two, but able to host up to forty for holidays and special occasions. When love of family is the motivator, it makes for a beautiful project.

A large living room was divided into two separate seating areas, thus creating a cosy spot for two by the wood burning fireplace. When the family gathers, furniture is shifted and everyone fits. The office is a lovely spot for the couple to work in, and for large formal dinners held in the dining room, the work island expands to seat an additional twelve people. The former office, situated just off the master bedroom, was turned into a morning room complete with coffee maker and microwave. Extra bedrooms were decorated so grandchildren, and now great grandchildren, have a place of their own. This truly is a home for the entire family to enjoy.
