An addition to the kitchen allowed Stokes to create a full communal space for family and friends. Colors are warm and rich, with plenty of oranges and browns. Off the entry hall are the living room, dining room, eat-in kitchen and screened porch, as well as a planting room that leads to a potting shed. Though not large, the living room, Stokes says, is very comfortable. We did it in shades of green and white, to make it fresh and casual.
Good upholstery makes the room comfortable.
Stokes dressed the living room windows with light-weight fabrics. The kitchen is another high-traffic family area. This one incorporates a dining table, as well as some sassily upholstered sofas and big comfortable chairs for lounging. Gardening is a favorite pursuit of the household. The planting room leads to the potting shed.
