This is the gut rehab of my own house. My home is decorated in an eclectic mix of furniture, art and accessories that reflect my husband’s Italian heritage and my love of mid-century modern furniture that I inherited from my paternal grandmother. Every square foot of this tiny, Cape Cod house was utilized to maximize space for our family of four. I found space to design built-ins and window seats tucked into eaves. We updated the bathrooms to incorporate timeless marble tiles, ceramic tiles, and modern fixtures.
