Every design has an inspiration point. For me, two items set the tone: the MSI Renzo Jade picket tile for the kitchen backsplash and the Magnolia finish from Omega Cabinets (similar to Benjamin Moore’s Edgecomb Gray). I color-matched this tone for all interior trim and doors. The green from the backsplash inspired accents throughout—exterior doors, the bedroom wall, porch ceiling (Sherwin Williams Evergreen Fog), and bathroom cabinetry. Walls are Benjamin Moore White Dove—after repainting from Chantilly Lace, which proved too stark. Using consistent colors and finishes helped the small space feel cohesive.

The bathroom features large-format subway tile from Santa Rosa Tile, a curbless shower with a bench and hidden niche, thermostatic valve, and a built-in dressing bench. Though the vanity isn’t fully ADA-compliant, the space is open, comfortable, and designed for safety and ease.

For flooring, we chose Gaia Luxury Vinyl Plank—durable and beautiful. Originally I planned a herringbone pattern only in the entry, but we extended it throughout for a stunning focal point. Countertops are Chateau quartz by Daltile—a single jumbo slab used for the kitchen, bathroom, shower bench, and more, even the kitchen table. Tim built the table base from white oak on hand, matching the entry bench and hood trim. The floating shelves were locally sourced.
