Inspiration for a 1950s brown two-story mixed siding exterior home remodel in Boston with a hip roof

The clients’ direction was for a more modern aesthetic than the traditional style the architecture might have dictated. We painted the exterior and interior neutral dark hues and filled it with comfortable furniture for entertaining, hanging out and family dinners. Photography: Matthew Millman
