A 1970's developer Cape Cod-style house lacked character on the outside and open living space on the inside. Interior renovations included opening the entry hall to the back of the house and expanding cramped bathrooms. A broad porch addition on the front gave the home a bright and welcoming face. The rear addition included a new family room and kitchen, a sunny bedroom and a screen porch that opens the house to the landscape and pool beyond. Just like the purple, castle-like refrigerator enclosure, color was used throughout to imbue the home with a sense of whimsy and fun. Photo: Scott Smith
