Annalee and Evan McCord could have bought a bigger home elsewhere, but they wanted to...
The kitchen was completely reconfigured to have an island, which is painted Benjamin Moore “Tarrytown Green,” a deep pine green.When Annalee and Evan McCord bought their 1950s-era home more than a decade ago, they knew that someday they’d renovate to get the place the way they really wanted it.
Their three-bedroom, two-bathroom, 1,962-square-foot home had plenty of space when it was just Annalee and Evan and their eldest daughter, Adelaide, who is now 14, but they’ve since had two more children, son Graham, now 12, and youngest daughter Mae, who is 9. “We went through the house, and in one room we’d say, ‘This is where we like to do puzzles and school and art and games’ and then in the next room we’d say, ‘This is where we do puzzles and school and art and games.’ It was every room,” Annalee said. “Even in the kitchen, we like to hang out and play cards. You gravitate toward where everyone is.”
They also reimagined the utility room after they found another place for the hot water heater. The improved utility room even has a built-in kennel for the family’s dog, Laszlo, a sweet Cavalier King Charles spaniel. Their kitchen used to be dark, with cabinets painted black, beige granite counters and beige tile backsplash. Now, it’s picture perfect with light Mont Blanc quartzite counters, white cabinets, gold lighting and hardware and an island painted Benjamin Moore’s “Tarrytown Green,” a deep pine.
