This historic beauty, once the workhorse of its family, had seen better days. A little touch-up was not going to fix its many issues. The new owners were in need of functional space in which to entertain. With a cut-off, compact space our answer was to open walls. With a new pass-through and wider doorway, this kitchen is now the center of attention. This remodel compliments the historic charm of this home with mill-work details and a scene stealing gas range. Modern conveniences, storage solutions and fabulous finishes have given new life to this once dark, dated space.

We are just finishing up the renovation of the grand living room in an impressive circa 1872 Italianate on Calais's Hinckley Hill built by lumber magnate and philanthropist, George Henry Eaton. The Hinckley Hill District is on the National Register of Historic Places. A fineartistmade restoration from the same home was feature in Old House Journal several years ago. Originally two rooms (the dining room and parlor), the space was 'modernized' circa 1925, with the removal of large dividing pocket doors and surrounding wall - unifying the space. Overhead in each of the former rooms survive two, four-foot-diameter, plaster medallions that were once lit by gas light fixtures. They have now regained their purpose and elegance with the addition of two period perfect crystal chandeliers.
