Some of the major space adjustments included reducing the size of the living room, so that the master bedroom could be expanded to include a walk-in closet and a laundry room and workspace. All throughout the space, the design is bright and airy, including bright pops of color in unexpected place like the area behind the stove, which is painted in a bright yellow color.
