Jessica’s personal touches include her original artwork and custom designs featured throughout the home, as well as modern hardware on the cabinetry through her company Nest Studio. An impressive collection of his art amassed over the past decade from estate sales, local artists and online also dot the walls.
Other creative surprises up her sleeve – much to the delight of her two children Lucy, 7, and Bryan, 10 – include a secret passage leading to Lucy’s bedroom, as well as custom beds and forts that Jessica built for their rooms.
Her children even helped make some of the artwork in the house and were key decision makers in the design plans for their rooms. “I simulated what things might look like and gave them a few choices, then pinned wallpaper options for them to make selections,” Jessica explains. “I always try to design spaces suitable for families and children.”
