The Historic Home lies at the heart of Michael Carter’s passion for interior design. Well versed in the academics of period architecture and antiques, Carter continues to be called on to bring fresh and inspiring ideas to historic properties that are undergoing restoration or redecoration. It is never the goal to have these homes feel like museums. Instead, Carter & Company strives to blend the function of contemporary life with design ideas that are appropriate – they respect the past in a way that is stylish, timeless and elegant.

Dining room - rustic dining room idea with brown walls, a standard fireplace and a stone fireplace

When most couples and families spend a majority of their time in the hub of the home, the kitchen becomes the central design element. Seeking a timeless style, uncluttered functionality, and nod to the white country kitchens of generations past, JEI Design, Shiflet Group Architects, and Reynolds Custom Homes were brought together. The result is a refined farmhouse kitchen, melding white, light, natural wood, and industrial finishes, such as modern refrigerator drawers, antique style double sink and faucets, and custom vintage light fixtures.

Formal dining room: This light-drenched dining room in suburban New Jersery was transformed into a serene and comfortable space, with both luxurious elements and livability for families. Moody grasscloth wallpaper lines the entire room above the wainscoting and two aged brass lantern pendants line up with the tall windows. We added linen drapery for softness with stylish wood cube finials to coordinate with the wood of the farmhouse table and chairs. We chose a distressed wood dining table with a soft texture to will hide blemishes over time, as this is a family-family space. We kept the space neutral in tone to both allow for vibrant tablescapes during large family gatherings, and to let the many textures create visual depth.
