Buying a new home is already daunting enough, but when the Uter family decided that their growing family was too big for their current space, they took on a challenge even more stressful—building a home from the ground up.

But after that, they had to get down to business. Working with architect Mark Matthews in the Greek Revival style and kitchen designer Richard Ourso for the perfect space to cook big family meals, the Uters embarked on a design odyssey that included combining personal style and professional elegance through interior designer Holly Harrison.
