We reimagined a Georgetown townhouse for a multigenerational family by shedding its formal dining room in favor of practical, personality-rich living. In the kitchen, we installed a hardworking layout with two dishwashers and a beverage fridge, anchored by a banquette wrapped in checkerboard fabric and framed by floor-to-ceiling white oak cabinetry. We layered in thoughtful textures—ribbed glass, plaster-clad range hood, and custom outlets—to elevate everyday details. Off the kitchen, we carved out cozy alcoves, infused heirloom pieces to honor the wife's parents, and used a textured limewash for an inviting TV room that’s both loungy for grown-ups and perfect for kids to play. Durable finishes—from fire-engine‑red mudroom cabinetry to terracotta tile and family-proof handles—ensure the home is as functional as it is beautiful.
