A renovation of a home in Naperville with an iconic Midcentury modern architecture. The project included a complete overhaul of two separate spaces, kitchen and dining.

The goal of this project was to meld a more transitional style with midcentury modern vibes. We knocked down the main supporting wall, adding a beam and consequently allowing natural light to flood in and around all the entire space. The details of adding pops of color, sprinkling in some retro vibes with a beveled backsplash, classic, midcentury pendant lighting, and heirloom accents are all what made this project a highlight in my design career.
