"We entertain frequently, both personally and professionally," says Erin, an interior designer with clients in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. "I designed the layout of the house with an open floor plan in mind for smooth movement between the spaces for our children and guests."

The charm of the family's home lies in the harmonious blend of classic architecture, tasteful appointments, and a refined palette that allows the architectural elements to shine through. Wood floors throughout the main level are finished in a dark stain that anchors the all-white walls and lofty coffered ceilings.
