This stunning Mid-Century modern home was designed by Jessica Helgerson design. The home is like a breath of fresh air with interior foliage bringing a light, airy feel of the great outdoors inside the home. The soft colors of white, green and natural browns make the home feel like a hidden escape deep in the woods, rather than a home within a neighborhood. The large windows also allow sunlight to stream through, again, bringing the outdoors in. Jessica Helgerson is officially on our radar thanks to this stunning design.
