We renovated multiple areas in this farmhouse-style home located in Somerville, MA. The most dramatic part of the renovation came upstairs, in what had been a playroom. We vaulted the ceiling and also took out a stairwell to make space for a bathroom and walk-in closet. Trade subcontractor VIP Tile & Marble Design did a meticulous job tiling the floor, walls and shower. The crowning touch — a stained glass window above the shower.

Downstairs, we opened up the area by taking down a wall between the living room and stairway and widening a doorway between the living room and kitchen. Carlisle Wide Plank Floors in New Hampshire provided the flooring in the living room and TV room. The homeowners chose solid hickory planks with 7" face widths, whose dramatic details have lent additional character to the rooms.

Off of one corner of the kitchen, there was initially a bathroom, which has been replaced by a pantry with plenty of storage space. Off the other corner was an unfinished pantry along with the stairway that was removed to create the master suite. Custom transformed this space into a bathroom, closet and mudroom.
