The Maple Grove House was built from the ground up 
to create a calm, serene family home.

Fenton, MO

Contemporary living room with white walls, beige sectional sofa and black coffee table. Large window, modern fireplace and wall-mounted TV. Shelves with decor, minimalist chandelier, and neutral rug.
Open-concept living and dining area with a fireplace, built-in shelves, and a kitchen with black and wood cabinets, featuring a wooden dining table with teal chairs, and light hardwood floors.

In this new construction home, we were called upon to furnish for a bustling family of six. Wide plank white oak flooring is woven throughout the home. In the living room, the furniture arrangement and fabrics considered the active bunch. The ceiling’s architectural detail draws the eye up without competing with the room. Rounded bookshelves flank the fireplace where accessories and family photos are displayed. Modern iron stair rails and arched double doors add an architectural moment to the entryway.

Modern kitchen with black and natural wood cabinets, white countertops, gold hardware, a black range hood and large window with black frame.

In the kitchen, an arched black and oak range hood commands center stage. Rift-sawn white oak upper cabinets cast visual relief to the black stained cabinets. An expansive window allows an abundance of natural light above the black quartz sink. The oversized island with a waterfall edge houses microwave and refrigerator drawers while offering a multitude of storage. Calacatta Abezzo quartz counters are both durable and maintenance-free.

Living room and bar with light wood cabinetry, black backsplash and modern artwork. Centered is a coffee table with a tray holding candles, next to a beige armchair and a brown leather sofa.
Entryway with arched black doors, staircase and a black console table. There is a modern chandelier, a white and gray striped rug, and large windows letting in natural light.

Contemporary bedroom with beige bed linens, multiple pillows, black nightstand, and a doorway leading to a bathroom with marble walls and a bathtub.

Simplicity continues in the light-filled bedrooms. A white boucle upholstered bed graciously heralds the primary bedroom. In the bathroom, a luxurious soaking tub and floor-mounted faucet are reminiscent of hotel luxury. In the lower level guest suite, slatted wood detailing behind the bed adds architectural interest and a distinct focal point. Modern bedside tables with sunburst-pattern, pearlescent capiz shell drawers are both beautiful and useful.
