michigan house

My sister is an interior designer, currently taking a break from her career to raise her three young kiddos. If you ask me, she sits more on the side of interior architect than interior designer or decorator. She's a wiz at carving space, and making it look good and perhaps most importantly, function well.

This is her current home in Michigan, a cool marriage of modern and traditional, which she designed pretty much inside and out. I particularly love the red roof.



Her family is moving soon and I feel the need to memorialize her home in some way since it will no longer be "in the family." (And maybe I want to toot her horn a little.) It has been a safe-haven as well as a favorite place to visit and spend time with favorite people, big and small. I have the best memories of babies crawling after each other in circles, bathtubs full of little cousins, fingerprint-covered windows and nights around the fireplace.

That bathroom is a dream. And the kitchen. Michigan house, we will miss you. You have been good to all of us, at some point or another.

She is going to kill me for posting this. But sometimes a sister's gotta do what a sister's gotta do.
