THIS 100-YEAR OLD COLONIAL HOME HAS BEEN THOUGHTFULLY REIMAGINED WITH A FRESH, CONTEMPORARY SENSIBILITY THAT BREATHES NEW LIFE INTO ITS CLASSIC BONES.
A CRISP PALETTE OF BRIGHT WHITE AND DEEP NAVY SETS A CLEAN, SOPHISTICATED TONE, COMPLIMENTED BY WARM ORIGINAL HARDWOOD FLOORS AND RICH WALNUT BUTCHER BLOCK COUNTERTOPS.
THE DINING ROOM, WAS OPENED UP TO REVEAL HIDDEN STORAGE, NOW TRANSFORMED INTO ILLUMINATED DISPLAY SHELVING FOR A BELOVED CHINA AND SILVER COLLECTION. BRASS LIBRARY LIGHTS ADD A REFINED, GALLERY-LIKE TOUCH, WHILE AN OVERSIZED MODERN BRASS DOME PENDANT FLOATS ABOVE THE TABLE, CREATING A BOLD SCULPTURAL FOCAL POINT IN THE ROOM. AN ANTIQUE FALL-FRONT SECRETARY WITH GLASS DOORS WAS REPURPOSED AS A BAR,, BLENDING FUNCTION WITH TIMELESS CHARACTER.
THE KITCHEN UNDERWENT A DRAMATIC TRANSORMATION--FROM A DARK, DATED SPACE IN A RED AND YELLOW PALETTE TO A BRIGHT, FUNCTIONAL, AND WELCOMING CENTERPIECE OF THE HOME. WHITE CABINETRY AND WALLS REFLECT LIGHT AND ARE BALANCED BY A NAVY-PAINTED ISLAND AND PANTRY., ADDING CONTRAST AND DEPTH. CLOSED STORAGE AT THE BREAKFAST AREA WAS OPENED TO DISPLAY THE CLIENT'S VINTAGE CHINA AND ROOSTER POTTERY, WITH NAVY-PAINTED SHELF BACKS OFFERING A STRIKING BACKDROP TO HIGHLIGHT EACH PIECE.
TILE COUNTERTOPS WERE REPLACED WITH WARM WALNUT BUTCHER BLOCK, EXTENDING ACROSS THE PERIMETER COUNTERS AND ISLAND FOR A COHESIVE, NATURAL LOOK. THE RANGE WAS RELOCATED TO IMPROVE FLOW AND PAIRED WITH A CUSTOM PLASTER HOOD FEATURING A WOOD-BANDED DETAIL THAT TIES BACK TO THE WALNUT SURFACES. A PAIR OF MODERN BARSTOOLS AT THE ISLAND OFFER A SUBTLE CONTRAST TO THE OTHERWISE VINTAGE FURNISHINGS.
IN THE SITTING ROOM, DEEP VERDANT GREEN WALLS CREATE A LUSH, MOODY BACKDROP, SETTING THE STAGE FOR A DRAMATIC CEILING TREATMENT FEATURING LARGE-SCALE ROSE WALLPAPER. THIS UNEXPECTED PAIRING FRAMES THE HOMEOWNER'S CHERISHED COLLECTION OF VINTAGE ROSE-THEMED OIL PAINTINGS, TURNING THE ROOM INTO A RICHLY LAYERED IMMERSIVE SPACE.
EACH SPACE WAS DESIGNED TO REFLECT THE CLIENTS' DEEP LOVE OF ANTIQUE COLLECTING AND LAYERED STORYTELLING. FROM HEIRLOOM PIECES TO CURATED DISPLAYS, THIS HOME NOW TELLS A VIBRANT AND DEEPLY PERSONAL STORY--ONE THAT HONORS THE PAST WHILE EMBRACING THE JOY OF EVERYDAY LIVING.
