Martha’s Vineyard; Chilmark, MA
This bedroom combines rustic architectural details with a serene and classic design, creating a comfortable and inviting retreat. The room features a dark metal, arched spindle bed frame that provides a strong focal point. The bed is dressed in a fresh and clean blue and white color scheme, with striped and patterned pillows that add texture and visual interest. Bedding and pillows are Taylor Linens for Craft & Forge, a Williamsburg brand.
The room's character comes from the exposed, dark wood ceiling beams and the light wood paneling on the ceiling, which give it a cozy, country feel. A simple, dark wood nightstand with a white marble top sits next to the bed, holding a textured blue and white ceramic lamp, from Port 68, that matches the bedding. A light-colored rug on the floor helps to brighten the space, while a framed vintage map above the bed adds a unique, personal touch.

This sumerhill condo got a full update throughout. We repainted the walls and replaced the flooring to completely refresh the space. Wainscoting was added for extra detail and character. Custom cabinetry was built to improve storage and function, and a built in mantle was added in the living area to create a strong focal point. The bathroom was fully gutted and rebuilt with all new finishes for a clean, modern feel.

This home was originally designed by a contemporary of Frank Lloyd Wright, Russell Barr Williamson. To stay true to Wright's design principles, open living spaces that flow together needed to be created. Astute space planning that included existing structural elements was essential to ensure a functional kitchen and entertainment area. The existing barriers were diminished by removing walls. Design of the kitchen (and beyond) needed to respect the style of the home and existing finishes. Following Wright's lead: fire became the "heart of home" by adding a fireplace. Pecky cypress and Lannon stone were repeated, and strong horizontal lines of stained walnut cabinetry were crafted. The herringbone pattern of the floor tile echoed the pattern of the existing flooring and angles of the floorplan.

We are absolutely in love with this traditional style, custom bench. The combination of the more contemporary finished white oak with the classic lines and upholstery, really make this piece unique.
Building this was incredibly rewarding. The bead profiles, the flutes on the legs, the intersecting corner blocks and the joinery that brought it all together made this piece extremely difficult. The in-progress photos below hopefully give you a good sense of the detail involved in building this piece of furniture. But as with most challenges, completing them brings a unique satisfaction.
Despite the fact that this bench looks delicate, it is actually very strong. This is largely due to the floating mortise and tenon joinery and 1 3/4" hardwood frame that is underneath the upholstery. Our hope is that we have blended strength, beauty and functionality to create something that will last and our customer is thrilled to see each time they walk in their space.
