Designer Karin Bennett @karinbennett9671 proves you don’t need a huge footprint for great design, or a great party. She recently renovated her family’s 2,000-square-foot home after 15 years, removing walls between the living room, dining room and kitchen to make one large open-concept space perfect for entertaining. Karin swapped a dedicated dining room for a built-in banquette and table, and four stools at the 12-foot-long island. The comfy living room area is set with four swivelling tub chairs, while a black hutch in the kitchen keeps party essentials nearby. The adjoining family room was made airy with a new vaulted ceiling and gas insert fireplace, while the mudroom now doubles as a pantry.

What a gorgeous renovation!
Divno.
With living in the home for so long this designer was able to carefully update the home and you cannot tell that space was lost it looks so streamlined and fresh. I adore the family room. Love the textured stools in there. Also the kitchen, the handles 😍
My kind of home!! Cozy, comfortable and gorgeous!
Beautiful home design! And I appreciate that the neighborhood grew on you… thanks for opening your home to us.
It appears that you took an "ordinary" builder's model and personalized it into this beautiful, open-concept, personalized home. This is so well-thought-out…love it!
Beautifull home, could you share where did you got the swivel chairs?
Amazing kitchen. Where are the cabinets and hardware from?
Beautifully done! Love the earth tone and the cozy vibe. I wish I could hire you to decorate my future home 🙂
I'm a single mother living in CA. Been working so hard so I can retire at 50 if things keep going well for me. Bought my first condo this month and I can't be more proud than I am right now. I'm so glad I made good decisions about my finances that changed me forever.
This is what I call a pretty and functional design ("which is great")
Not sure if you will see this. I’m toying with the idea of opening walls similarly to yours. The 4 inches that you brought your walls in, did that also accommodate the hvac?
Great job as always Karin and looking stunning.
Kitchen Hardware is a hit! Nice Job!
Oh man, I wanted to see the rest of her house. Love everything she did in her home.
Wonderful….so liveable and pretty… total inspiration
I’ve been waiting for this! I think you made some great design decisions and they really paid off! Beautiful home, Karin.
