A Designer's Bright Modern Home With Soaring Ceilings And Architectural Details

Designer Amanda Shields and her husband wanted to build their dream home on the same property where he grew up. By taking it down to the studs, they totally transformed the house into a modern oasis while maintaining its original footprint. Don’t the miss the wow-factor great room with double height ceilings, expansive windows, and arched built-ins. You’ll love the modern china cabinet encased in drywall and the “beverage centre” made for entertaining.

I know people find this style boring or too “beige”, but I love it! It looks bright, fresh, and peaceful.

I love this!!! Beautiful design and I love the details! A few negative comments about the picture of her dad. I LOVE it! It's unexpected and raw. I'm sure it speaks to her about how real her dad was and it adds character to a gorgeous home. Not everyone's cup of tea, but I love it.

Fantastic job 😍

WOW! Insanely gorgeous home! Love how Amanda talks about it too, beautifully done

[martinethevenau]

A beautiful elegant home but no personal warm touches. It looks like a home straight out of a catalogue.

You have a beautiful home
You've done a fantastic job
I fell in love with your dining chairs 🤗 the color combination is perfection

[jimandjudyc]

Beautiful neutral background, and I love all the windows and natural light. Perhaps in time you will want to spice it up a bit with some more colorful materials and fabrics that can be changed out as you live there and change and grow.

I love the idea of the kitchen island and display cabinet being darker! And how your storage is built into the drywall, it looks so sleek ✨

[emma-leefortune]

I like the cream terrazzo floor in the powder room

Leaving in Greece my first thought was "Love the high ceilings, great large windows, the view is awesome but where are the curtains? Aren't they blinded by the sun?".

Love the photo of her dad. It was feeling a little too overdone/hotel vibe so having something unexpected and personal especially on the dark wall… love it
