We gave this rather dated farmhouse some dramatic upgrades that brought together the feminine with the masculine, combining rustic wood with softer elements. In terms of style her tastes leaned toward traditional and elegant and his toward the rustic and outdoorsy. The result was the perfect fit for this family of 4 plus 2 dogs and their very special farmhouse in Ipswich, MA. Character details create a visual statement, showcasing the melding of both rustic and traditional elements without too much formality. The new master suite is one of the most potent examples of the blending of styles. The bath, with white carrara honed marble countertops and backsplash, beaded wainscoting, matching pale green vanities with make-up table offset by the black center cabinet expand function of the space exquisitely while the salvaged rustic beams create an eye-catching contrast that picks up on the earthy tones of the wood. The luxurious walk-in shower drenched in white carrara floor and wall tile replaced the obsolete Jacuzzi tub. Wardrobe care and organization is a joy in the massive walk-in closet complete with custom gliding library ladder to access the additional storage above. The space serves double duty as a peaceful laundry room complete with roll-out ironing center. The cozy reading nook now graces the bay-window-with-a-view and storage abounds with a surplus of built-ins including bookcases and in-home entertainment center. You can’t help but feel pampered the moment you step into this ensuite. The pantry, with its painted barn door, slate floor, custom shelving and black walnut countertop provide much needed storage designed to fit the family’s needs precisely, including a pull out bin for dog food. During this phase of the project, the powder room was relocated and treated to a reclaimed wood vanity with reclaimed white oak countertop along with custom vessel soapstone sink and wide board paneling. Design elements effectively married rustic and traditional styles and the home now has the character to match the country setting and the improved layout and storage the family so desperately needed. And did you see the barn? Photo credit: Eric Roth

This kitchen remodel from Bria Hammel Interiors elevates an older home’s style with modern finishes while preserving character and history. This stunning kitchen features Cambria Brittanicca Gold countertops paired with two-toned cabinets and a mix of open shelving and matte black accents. An original built-in hutch is refinished for added charm and warmth and a mudroom off the kitchen is a convenient drop zone. The quartz countertops are a maintenance-free alternative to marble with beautiful organic gold veining and bold movement.

A custom vent hood was clad with reclaimed wood in an Charcoal finish. The medium stained wood matches the trim on the peninsula, completing the look.

The client had grown up in beach locales and wanted a bright tropical kitchen. With minimal kitchen storage provided pair of custom made shelves covered in cheery Mexican oil cloth hold the dishware & serving pieces.

This bathroom used to house a shower on the right, but it was not needed, so we took it out and added a linen cabinet that mimic's one we recessed into the hallway on the second floor. It has all the character of one this house would have had when it was built. The black and white cement tile is the icing on the cake of this simple but beautiful space. Joe Kwon Photography
