TRADITIONAL HOME-Lisa Schrenk Bouchard

Working with interior designer Ann Heath, Lisa wasted no time finishing both the basement and the room above the garage as family hangouts. She also transformed the kitchen into a crowd-worthy hub, converted a screened porch to an all-season sunroom, and warmed up the living room with a fireplace. “Above all, I wanted to make the house more suitable for a casual, kid-friendly lifestyle,” Lisa explains.

A sisal rug, neutral walls, and white sofas allow homeowner Lisa Schrenk Bouchard’s collections of blue-and-white Chinese export plates and delftware vases and urns maximum attention in the living room. Lisa trimmed her new fireplace with delft tiles.  I love everything about this house!
