This Family Home Has All The Charm Of An English Farmhouse

When a Carmel, Indiana, family recruited designer Whittney Parkinson to transform their home, she knew it was going to be something special. The cramped abode was riddled with awkward 45 degree angles, and with two young children, the homeowners needed all the space they could get. Whittney added a brand new mudroom with floor-to-ceiling cabinetry and an organized laundry room, plus refreshed the kitchen — adding a set of beautiful antique light fixtures she’d had her eye on for years — and living room. “I think right now, people just want timeless,” says Whittney. “They don’t want to have to redo anything in five to ten years and keep up with the constantly changing aesthetic.”
