After: The bathroom’s 5-by-10-foot footprint stayed the same, with a door at each end of the vanity leading to the girls’ bedrooms. A light pink double vanity, painted to echo the whimsical butterfly-and-flower wallpaper, brings a pop of color and pattern to the space. Mancera added scalloped edges to the vanity bottom, a motif she carried through the sinks, which feature subtly scalloped rims, and the sconces, with scalloped patinaed brass backplates and acrylic mounts. Brushed brass faucets and handles keep the look simple so the scalloped details shine, while bow-shaped brass cabinet pulls add a sweet, playful finishing touch that reinforces the room’s fairy-tale charm.

1. Thoughtful Layout With Green Cabinets
Kitchen at a Glance
Who lives here: A family of five
Location: Wakefield, Massachusetts
Size: 159 square feet (15 square meters), plus a mudroom and bar area of 231 square feet (21 square meters)
Designer: Amanda Colosi Johnson of McGuire + Co. Kitchen & Bath
Before: This Wakefield, Massachusetts, family of five had grown weary of its U-shaped kitchen and its dark brown and cottage green cabinetry, vinyl tile flooring and standard appliances. A large refrigerator jutted awkwardly from the cabinetry, while a peninsula with two backless stools and hard-to-reach drawers separated the kitchen from the adjoining bar and mudroom.
Having previously collaborated with McGuire + Co. Kitchen & Bath on a full bathroom remodel, the homeowners returned to the team for their kitchen. Rather than moving walls, lead designer Amanda Colosi Johnson focused on maximizing the existing footprint while giving the space a stylish, functional upgrade.
