Genevieve Lavelle, the interior designer, reflects on the challenge of transforming the couple's new home: 'I was nervous, but I said I’m going to prove that we can turn this into a cozy oasis.' Her aim was to blend comfort with their well-traveled style, making the house not just functional, but a vibrant gathering place for family.
The couple initially didn't connect with the 1930s house, as its updates felt out of place. Despite their doubts about claiming it as a long-term home, Lavelle's vision to enhance the property provided hope, demonstrating how design could breathe new life into the space and foster family memories.
With architect Steven Helmes, Lavelle expanded the home's heart: 'We added 800 square feet to create a kitchen with an important island and a sitting area, allowing the family to gather and chat.' This transformation aimed at creating a functional and inviting area reflective of a cozy family oasis.
Lavelle described her vision of the interior as 'a layered, comfortable space where you don't know what time period you're in.' This statement captures her intention to blend elements of design that resonate with the couple's travels and create an environment rich in warmth and character.
