perfectly pretty. decidedly delicious. soft & inviting. unassumingly decadent... all adjectives one would generally use to describe a tasty confection from the bakery? but instead of cupcakes, i'm introducing you to this wonderfully sweet confection of a home over at 42nd avenue.

recently completed and built by the meticulous team at muretto custom homes, this charming abode is filled with pretty patterns and a palette of seriously delicious color throughout! this is not your typical cookie cutter home however, and was the result of a fantastically fun collaboration with the clients (who hail from jolly old england!), and who were a constant source of humor, inspiration and i dare say it, humility (!), as we set about to create a space that would invoke a comforting feeling of the homes they remembered growing up in :)

although i have yet to return for the final round of photos (the clients are currently getting settled as i type?!), i grabbed a few post construction snaps that i just had to share! like a good cupcake, i just couldn't keep it all to myself ;)

welcome to 42nd avenue.

and just like that, she was done! *sniff*

when a project comes to it's inevitable close, it can be a bittersweet event.. so sweet in that all the hard work for everyone involved has come to fruition (always exciting to watch!); and even more sweet that the homeowners can finally settle in to life in their new home! but after all that time together as client and designer, it's often sad to part ways so abruptly?! such was the case when these folks moved in last winter :)

with the hustle and bustle of the holidays and a equally busy start to the year, it took a few months for us to get back and properly see how much kelvin grove has grown into a proper home...! i think a home's true beauty comes with age - and the luxury of time to collect and curate all the pieces that you love! but when starting from scratch, it's important to lay a solid foundation of fixtures, finishes, and furniture upon which to build your decor... so you can eventually layer in reflections of all the individuals that reside within!

our last photo shoot of this beautiful family home focused almost entirely on the incrédible lacanche range... this one however is meant to offer up the rest of the rooms for your perusal...! take you on a virtual tour of to see just how much this house has become a home...

welcome back to kelvin grove :)
