The bathroom maintains the calm, nature-inspired color palette with subtle hues like beige, a taupe-y green, and wood. Like other spaces, natural light is abundant thanks to a window.

An LGM wall bed from Resource Furniture is a convenient work-from-home spot. After the pandemic, the Paulas wanted to incorporate plenty of work stations in their home, as before the carriage house, “We had four of us all sitting at the dining table working,” remembers René. “It was super loud, like a trading floor at an investment bank, because all four of us would be talking at the same time.” With desks in the kids’ rooms and two offices, every family member can work in quiet.

The kitchen's painted, high-density MDF cabinets are durable storage options. The backsplash is white porcelain tile with blue grout that matches the cabinet hardware.

When Eric and Emily first moved into the house, they found a kitchen that had undergone a partial renovation and divided into two separate sections. They opened it up and added the peninsula for more counter space topped with Silestone.

The kitchen and dining areas seamlessly blend through materiality. Original pine ceilings add texture, and sleek, painted MDF cabinetry makes the room feel modern.

Mary Kawar made the most of limited space in her backyard ADU in Berkeley with Clei's Circe wall bed and Genie convertible table, both from Resource Furniture in San Francisco.

The powder room has a floating soapstone counter with concealed drawer, unlacquered brass faucet, and Brendan Ravenshill sconce.

The bathroom walls are clad from floor to ceiling in crisp, white tile.

Each bedroom features a dedicated washbasin.
