A few years ago, our team brought a captain’s dining chambers to “dock” with this adventurous library and dining room remodel. The owners wanted a place to read during the day and entertain guests in the evenings – this space right off their home’s kitchen is the perfect spot to drop an anchor and relax. The homeowners also wanted a place to share the ornate statement pieces, artwork and books they’d collected over the years. During the design phase of our remodeling process, we asked what pieces were their favorites and custom-built maple shelves with a distinct color and shape to compliment them. We added lighting to the shelves to showcase their book collection and create the perfect reading room. Our favorite feature? Hands down, the sailing ship chandelier – the room's unmistakable focal point. The completed room evokes a cozy, yet sophisticated atmosphere that our clients still love to this day.

The master suite includes a private library freshly paneled in crotch mahogany. Heavy draperies are 19th-century French tapestry panels. The formal fringed sofa is Stark's Old World line and is upholstered in Stark fabric. The desk, purchased at auction, is chinoiserie on buried walnut.

This library/home office is layered with rich red glazed plaster walls, followed by dark stained crown molding and matching dark stained, custom built in shelving. The final layer to this design is the substantial floral curtains with the old world desk as the cherry on top.

This study has a very large built-in on the back wall, painted a darker gray than the walls. The antique French desk is the focal point for the room. The antique doors were found at a French auction, and several layers of paint were removed. The French chairs flanking the room were found at a secondhand store. Photo credit: Anita Joyce
