\nThe Butterfly House<\/strong>, as it is called, was bought by a young couple back in 2008, who then decided to make a complete makeover and bring out the best in this stunning architectural piece. Erin and Josh Bernstein believe that \u201cthis house is essentially optimistic. It looks like it could take off and fly away. You\u2019re happy, and I could sense that when I walked in<\/em>\u201c.

He explains, \u201cone of the goals was to make the islands more like furniture than like heavy objects that go all the way to the floor<\/em>\u201c.<\/p>\n

\nIn the new powder room, Jill Malek wallpaper added a\u00a0graphic<\/strong> punch to custom cabinetry. The strong colors used are very reminiscent of the 60s and 70s, but still bring a modern<\/strong> touch to the design.
