"The 1860s farmhouse has undergone meticulous updates and additions that seamlessly blend modern comforts with rich historical charm,

The new kitchen is a vibrant mix of vintage-inspired and modern, featuring warm maple, bold pops of color, and stainless steel.

In her L.A. office, Tracy A. Stone swaps commercial fixtures and 20-year-old cabinets for fresh appliances and tasteful finishes.

McGonigle repositioned the bathtub and designed a custom bench alongside it for bathing the baby.
