The entire Mill Valley, CA, home is less than 1,500 square feet, but a palette of mostly light neutrals helps it feel much larger. "We opened up the kitchen completely," Triggs says. There used to be a wall separating it from the living space, but by removing that they increased the usable space. She added the overhead beams, made from reclaimed wood, to evoke some of the home's vintage character. The entire redesign took about six months, and Triggs says it was done on a tight budget, forcing them to be creative without spending a lot of money.
