novel: new or unusual in an interesting way. It’s a goal whenever I’m designing anything. To show something in a different light or use something in an unexpected way.

This one was a Pinterest dream come true. The assignment was to turn a detached ADU into a clubhouse, where the girls living in Ohana House could hang out, socialize, work, cook, watch The Bachelor.

So without further ado, what I’m sharing with you today is the “main house” - two stories, nine bedrooms, 15 beds, and a small-ish open concept living/dining/kitchen. The bedrooms were designed as an upgraded dorm-style living situation.

Sure, you put a tree up in the living room and strung some lights on the roof. Bravo! But if you’re looking to be just a little extra festive this year, I’ve got some ideas for you. This is the very first year that I have put decorations in every. single. room. of the house.
