“I wanted it to be the focal point,” Feinberg says. A key component of the project was the new colorful, comfortable kitchen flowing into the family room. It was fitting for her family back then-Feinberg would soon give birth to her first child-but when she got pregnant with her second in 2019, she knew it was time for her and her two kids to make the space truly their own.įeinberg enlisted the help of Michael Rouse, principal architect of D.C.-based MPR Architecture, and Michael Thiede of Bethesda Contracting to help bring her vision to life via a two-story addition totaling about 1,000 square feet. Built in 1952, the colonial had three bedrooms, one bath and a minuscule kitchen. When Becky Feinberg, 45, moved into a home in Bethesda’s Wyngate neighborhood in 2017, she knew she wanted to make some changes in the future.

That wasn’t the brightest move on my part.” She purchased the chairs on a whim online, thinking they were gray. “We got rid of all our old furniture, and one thing I didn’t anticipate is once your project is done, you need furniture. The green hue of the high-top bar chairs was a happy accident, Bridget recalls. Sutton Place champagne-finish cabinet pulls by Atlas Homewares and a gleaming gold light fixture that presides over the peninsula add to the quiet sophistication. The gold-and-marble backsplash is a textural counterpoint to the smooth hood. The crisp lines are complemented by warm wood tones in the flooring and in the existing reclaimed wood ceilings, which were originally installed by Bridget’s father-and also in the driftwood-stained range hood by Crystal Cabinet Works that was brought in for “visual interest,” Cooley says. The refrigerator is hidden, too-its panels blend in with the white cabinetry. “After raising my kids, I didn’t want to see anything on my counters,” Bridget says. Pullout drawers for pots and pans, a utility cabinet for the brooms, and a cabinet divider for trays also ensured a clutter-free space. We have a large family, and friends in the area, so we host a lot.” She wanted a space with a more modern aesthetic but plenty of efficiency and usability-objectives that were accomplished thanks to interior designer Melissa Cooley of Case Architects & Remodelers, which is headquartered in Bethesda.Ī prime example is what Bridget calls “appliance cubbies”-aka counter wall cabinets-which were installed for the toaster and coffee maker. “While my kids have moved on, I love to cook and entertain. “It’s an old home, and we wanted to honor the house,” Bridget says of the renovation, which began in 2020 amid the pandemic.
