Homeowners Casey Davison and Chris Jennewein wanted to use more of the space in their 1920s downtown Kirkwood home, while retaining the house’s historic charm. “In the old configuration we'd spend almost all our time in the family room/kitchen side of the house,” Chris explains. “By designating each half of the first floor to a single purpose, we felt we could make the home feel larger, and more comfortably host friends and family.”
