This reader’s home belongs to Lucy, and here’s what she had to say about it: We’ve been living in this house for 5 years. It had lots of, shall we say, ‘deferred maintenance’ when we moved in – all hidden under layers of cream paint. It’s gone from being a vanilla ice-cream-colored box filled with IKEA furniture that we bought in a single weekend (long story – we moved from England and had to start from scratch) through the arrival of our two kids, countless variations of layout and wall color, to finally becoming a family home. I blogged about the process (and other design dilemmas) at fourwallsandaroof.com. The most newly remodelled part of the house is the kitchen, powder room, dining room and family room. Love the mid-century vibe in the newly done rooms. Great job Lucy! (Some photos by Chris Gaede)
