Colonial reimagined! This traditional New Jersey colonial style family home was in need of an update to fit the family’s needs. The living room specifically was stuffy and hardly used. The goal was to take this colonial traditional home and give it a new direction! Where to start? The Floors! This room was carpeted and just did not wear well- so we recommended a change in all the flooring to a new wood stained with a light touch. This provided the backdrop to make some major changes in the style of the room. The client’s were very trusting as we had worked with them before- and when we suggested a black greek key grasscloth- we were happily surprised they embraced the idea. Sexy but comfortable The client wanted to be able to come into this room for specific reasons- to read and relax without television, to play the piano and to entertain. The room needed a cozy and cohesive style and with comfortable furnishings and a place to display treasures. A bar was a nice touch too!

Master bathroom in an addition to a historic colonial style farmhouse. A glass shower enclosure with rainhead brings the traditional aesthetic forward with modern functionality while the standalone bathtub provides a gounding influence.

A large colonial-style family home was designed with outstanding views over the Wairoa River Valley in the Bay of Plenty region. Traditional dormers and gables, weatherboards, bay windows and verandahs present a proud exterior. A formal entry with feature staircase leads to an upstairs master suite and home office. From the entry, oak floors lead through to the living area with its wide views towards the river. The latest in home automation provides modern living convenience while exacting attention to quality of finish provides the perfect backdrop for this comfortable, functional, and luxuriously appointed home.

This extensive Colonial whole-home remodel in Redmond, Washington by Cutuli Homes was designed around one guiding principle: authenticity. From the remarkable real-rock exterior to the carefully selected interior finishes, the renovation preserves the architectural character of a traditional Colonial home while providing the comfort and functionality of a beautifully remodeled residence. The home's natural stone exterior is particularly distinctive in the Pacific Northwest, giving the residence the permanence, texture, and historic presence associated with classic Colonial architecture. Traditional proportions, multi-pane windows, architectural detailing, and Northwest landscaping complement the stone façade and reinforce the home's timeless character. Inside, Cutuli Homes carried that same attention to authenticity throughout the extensive remodel. Traditional Colonial colors, wide-plank wood floors, custom built-ins, period-inspired cabinetry, and historically appropriate hardware were carefully incorporated to create a cohesive interior. The kitchen continues the story with distinctive Colonial blue cabinetry, traditional hardware, real brick, and wide-plank flooring, while the custom mudroom and laundry spaces combine period character with practical modern storage. Rather than making the home simply look Colonial, the goal was to make every room feel naturally connected to the architecture of the original residence. The result is a thoughtfully executed remodel where materials, craftsmanship, color, and architectural detailing work together to create a home that feels established, authentic, and timeless.
