THIS 100-YEAR-OLD COLONIAL HOME was THOUGHTFULLY REIMAGINED WITH A FRESH, CONTEMPORARY SENSIBILITY, BREATHing NEW LIFE INTO ITS CLASSIC architectural BONES.

 

A CRISP PALETTE OF BRIGHT WHITE AND DEEP NAVY establishes A CLEAN, SOPHISTICATED foundation, COMPLIMENTED BY WARM ORIGINAL HARDWOOD FLOORS AND RICH WALNUT BUTCHER BLOCK COUNTERTOPS.  

 

in THE DINING ROOM, previously concealed STORAGE was opened to reveal a hidden niche, NOW TRANSFORMED INTO ILLUMINATED DISPLAY SHELVING FOR A cherished 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 TRANSfORMATION—FROM A DARK, DATED SPACE defined by A RED AND YELLOW PALETTE inTO A BRIGHT, WELCOMING CENTERPIECE for THE HOME. WHITE CABINETRY AND WALLS REFLECT natural LIGHT, BALANCED BY A NAVY-PAINTED ISLAND AND PANTRY that introduces DEPTH and contrast.  

​

WARM WALNUT BUTCHER BLOCK countertops EXTEND ACROSS THE PERIMETER COUNTERS AND ISLAND, creating A COHESIVE, NATURAL foundation. THE RANGE WAS RELOCATED TO IMPROVE FLOw AND PAIRED WITH A CUSTOM PLASTER HOOD FEATURING A WOOD-BANDED DETAIL THAT echoes THE WALNUT SURFACES below. A PAIR OF MODERN BARSTOOLS AT THE ISLAND introduces A SUBTLE CONTRAST TO THE OTHERWISE VINTAGE FURNISHINGS.  

 

STORAGE near THE BREAKFAST AREA WAS OPENED TO DISPLAY THE CLIENT'S VINTAGE CHINA AND ROOSTER POTTERY, WITH NAVY-PAINTED SHELF BACKS providing A STRIKING BACKDROP That HIGHLIGHTs EACH PIECE.

 

IN THE SITTING ROOM, DEEP VERDANT GREEN WALLS CREATE A LUSH, MOODY BACKDROP, SETTING THE STAGE FOR A DRAMATIC CEILING TREATMENT of LARGE-SCALE ROSE WALLPAPER.  THIS UNEXPECTED PAIRING FRAMES THE HOMEOWNERS' CHERISHED COLLECTION OF VINTAGE ROSE-THEMED OIL PAINTINGS, Transforming 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, The HOME NOW TELLS A VIBRANT AND DEEPLY PERSONAL STORY--ONE THAT HONORS THE PAST WHILE EMBRACING THE JOY OF EVERYDAY LIVING.
