Kid's Bathroom with playful wallpaper from Cole & Sons, subway tile and colorful bathroom accessories from Rejuvenation Hardware.

This area of the residence is the closest to the river. The tall windows make it possible to cook in perfect harmony with the external environment.

The kitchen is the entrance point for the Collettes’ home and its functional core. The warm colors of the house’s wood-and-brick exterior are continued in the felt covers of the Face chairs in umber, red, and rust—a vintage 1983 design for Montis by Gerard van der Berg. The cupboards are gray (“but a warm stone gray, not a cold corporate gray,”Dedy emphasizes). Dark stone was planned for the countertop but looked far too heavy. The couple chose Duropal, a stainless steel lookalike that’s easier to maintain.
