The existing stairs were painted in a dark yet neutral blue-gray, with a runner on top that has a coordinating pop of orange. While most of the home's historic details were removed by former owners, Leech's team tried to preserve what they could.

Their bathroom has floor-to-ceiling sage tiles in the shower, coordinating with the green shade used in the kitchen.

Skylights allow for sun to reach the inside of the home, while providing views of the sky and wildflower roof.

During the day, a skylight illuminates the master bathroom.

Set on the home’s top floor and featuring a deck that overlooks the backyard, the master bedroom is clean-lined and filled with light.. The Fusion bed is by Zeitraum; the purple Cove chairs are by Paola Lenti.

A lofted sleeping space furnished with a king size Design Within Reach American Modern bed was made possible when the architects raised the ceiling to create a triangular skylight. The move carved out enough headroom to make the second-floor space usable, while still keeping the cottage in compliance with strict local zoning rules for “accessory” buildings.

The Kelleys furnished the cottage with help from Suzanne’s daughter Betsy Burbank of Betsy Burbank Interiors. Classic modernist icons, such as a Saarinen Womb chair for Knoll, a Herman Miller Eames lounge chair, and an Eileen Grey E1027 side table look at home alongside present-day pieces such as an Encore sofa (which handily folds down into a sleeping surface) from Room & Board and a Doka rug designed and produced by Stephanie Odegard. The Wohlert pendant lights from Louis Poulsen were designed by Vilhelm Wohlert in 1959, but grouped as such, they appear distinctly contemporary.
