Color and texture transform an existing wood paneled library into a cozy family room.

Vintage industrial pendant lights illuminate the vibrant red pool table.

The kitchen is given a complete renovation and is revitalized with new custom designed colored cabinets.

Jean Prouve tables are surrounded by colored Tolixx Marrais chairs. Vintage pendants over the kitchen island and concrete countertops define the kitchen’s modern-retro vibe.

A generous kitchen and island counter is created with the same poured concrete as the floor beneath the industrial stools.

The master bedroom is furnished with vintage furniture, a Paul McCobb cabinet, a Pierre Jeanneret chair, Walter von Nessen lamps, and a custom linen headboard and curtains.

In the master bathroom, oval shaped mosaic glass tiles in taupe and white create a running design on the floor that continues up the walls.

Custom lacquer vanities and matching dressing room cabinets finished in a taupe color complement the mosaic floor.

A custom linen headboard and curtains, and vintage Czech Republic side tables dress the guest bedroom.

A custom lacquer vanity and white mosaic glass tiles complement the cotton shades and headboards in the childrens’ bedrooms.

The backyard is reimagined with new landscaping and a swimming pool.

The rear facade was renovated with new French glass doors and windows that open onto an extended new deck.

A back deck crafted in IPE wood and peppered with outdoor furniture transforms the traditional colonial into a family-friendly weekend home.

Colored furniture creates a fun yet relaxed atmosphere.

About the Project

This project was a complete overhaul of a 10-bedroom weekend residence for a large family who loved to entertain. By creating a dialogue between an 1800’s center-hall colonial house and its four-acre site, a dark and musty home was transformed into a bright, open, airy space with a relaxed yet classy atmosphere.
