In step with the ranch-style qualities of the present home, we’re sticking with a one-story structure with an open flooring plan, giant home windows, and sliding glass doorways. And the “seaside” comes into play with white partitions, vaulted shiplap ceilings, planked cabinetry, and general informal vibes.
No shock that I’m embracing a little bit of minimalism right here as I do with most all of my design tasks.
