Bright Beginnings

Wheaton, Illinois

Once they found their dream lot in their dream location, it was time to build their dream home. World travel, nutrition and a high level of organization fueled their long list of “must-haves.” With a baby on the way, there was a lot to accomplish, in a short period of time. 

Our clients were on the road to parenting, and it had been a long journey to get here.

As they dreamt of their growing family, they also dreamt of the home where they would welcome their little one and continue growing together. This home needed an architecturally clean and minimalist vibe, while being comfortably livable.

Its design foundation is simplistic and functional, disguised with exotic stones, warm woods, and layered neutrals. Repeating finishes and colors throughout the home and furnishings make it feel grounded and familiar.

The process is messy, but the outcome is beautiful.

Bright beginnings call for a bright new space.

As we designed this dream house together, we learned about their passions for travel, well-being, and balance in their lives. In the kitchen, their values of nutrition, organization, and cooking come to life. Functional and thoughtful design details reflect their personalities and give them a palette to create in, every day.


This beautiful mix of neutral finishes, exotic marbles, metals, and textural elements selected for this space carried into the rest of the house. Alongside these beautiful, timeless finishes, we added personal pieces to create a comfortably refined home, rooted in character with plenty of room to grow.

Amy and her team truly understood our vision and design theme. They absolutely NAILED it. In fact, they exceeded our expectations with their attention to detail. Every single thing we wanted, they delivered! Our home is stunning, and it truly is our dream home.
