Tour an Elegant Historical Home With Rich and Timeless Details
This 1907 home on a spacious lot in New Jersey had many beautiful details, including walnut millwork and original molding. But those details had aged past the point of rescue. So the homeowners reached out to designer Anastasia Harrison of AHD&Co to help update the home while honoring its roots. Harrison, who uses Houzz Pro business software, started by taking a piece of original stained walnut to a millworker and creating a match for new rich walnut cabinets in the kitchen. A new curved island has reeded detailing that complements reeded lighting and glass cabinet doors.
Elsewhere, fresh elements like a salmon pink paint for that original molding in the dining room, brick-look porcelain tile in a herringbone pattern for the mudroom and a light-filled en suite bathroom in a former sunroom ensure this home will remain timeless for years to come.
This is a wonderful example of how you modernize an historic home while being simultaneously respectful.
Beautifully done!
Gorgeous home! The mix in that kitchen is masterful — I love it!
What is the tile used for the kitchen backsplash? Love it!
Flooring choices throughout were spot on and who wouldn't want a mudroom just like that?
I love everything about this house!
The attention to detail is STUNNING!
Love the wood & leather pulls in the mud room and the reeded glass light fixtures in the kitchen and bath. Beautiful!
Inspiring to see a renovation which preserves the character and does not blow out all the walls. I really like how each space has its own defined area allowing something unique to take place but also how the entire home works together as a whole.
I have always loved reeded glass …is anyone using it in a bathroom for enclosure type purposes in a shower…thinking this would be fab and a bit less maintenance??
Thank you for all of these kind comments about our project. It was a dream! The homeowners were flexible and trusting of our design vision, and also very passionate about preserving and restoring the architectural elements whenever and wherever possible. We are so proud of how the design came out for this Kitchen, Mudroom and Primary bathroom! Thank you, Houzz, for the feature!
