Summary of Scope: gut renovation/reconfiguration of kitchen, coffee bar, mudroom, powder room, 2 kids baths, guest bath, master bath and dressing room, kids study and playroom, study/office, laundry room, restoration of windows, adding wallpapers and window treatments Background/description: The house was built in 1908, my clients are only the 3rd owners of the house. The prior owner lived there from 1940s until she died at age of 98! The old home had loads of character and charm but was in pretty bad condition and desperately needed updates. The clients purchased the home a few years ago and did some work before they moved in (roof, HVAC, electrical) but decided to live in the house for a 6 months or so before embarking on the next renovation phase. I had worked with the clients previously on the wife's office space and a few projects in a previous home including the nursery design for their first child so they reached out when they were ready to start thinking about the interior renovations. The goal was to respect and enhance the historic architecture of the home but make the spaces more functional for this couple with two small kids. Clients were open to color and some more bold/unexpected design choices. The design style is updated traditional with some eclectic elements. An early design decision was to incorporate a dark colored french range which would be the focal point of the kitchen and to do dark high gloss lacquered cabinets in the adjacent coffee bar, and we ultimately went with dark green.

When a Broomfield family approached Bunn & Sons about finishing their basement we were all ears, but this turned out to be more than the typical basement finish job. The goal was to completely transform 1600 square feet of unfinished basement space into a fully functional, separate living area for the occupants. We worked with the clients to design and build the space which includes a full kitchen, master suite with bathroom, walk in closet, laundry room, living room, storage, and even it’s own HVAC system so conditions can be controlled independently from the upper levels. The finished product turned out fantastic, thanks to the hard work of our entire team. We’re also excited that we got another multi-generational family living together (peacefully!) under one roof! We love a happy ending like this one!

Rug restoration is an art form and it is crucial to the integrity of a rug that any repair or cutting be performed correctly. This rug is approximately 80 years old and in very good condition with rare colors. Our client was given the rug as an heirloom and needed to have the length reduced in order to fit properly into their new home, specifically their dining room. The Persian rug was originally 20 feet in length. Our master weaver reduced the length to 14 feet seamlessly. Our client was extremely satisfied with the work we performed.

Our clients loved this tree-lined older, established neighborhood. They bought a house there that needed substantial renovations as it probably had not been updated in 30-40 years. They contacted Shapiro & Co in hopes that they would be able to transition an older, outdated house to a home that retained its character but was redesigned to meet the current needs of the family. The house foyer was very small and not accomodating for visitors so the architects relocated the entry and added a welcoming front porch. After an assessment of the existing conditions, it was determined that the kitchen, while serving its purpose in the 1940s, was completely out of character and in the wrong location for a modern family's needs. So the architects relocated and created an entirely new kitchen, and family and dining spaces. As indicative of homes in the ’40s and '50s, the master bedroom and bathroom were very small and not meeting current needs. Therefore we repurposed one bedroom into the master bath and dressing area and reorganized and enlarged the master bedroom area. The original second-floor plan was very small and confining. We captured some attic space and were able to create two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and a central common room for the children. By a sensitive assessment of the client’s needs and while maintaining the charm of the home, we were able to completely renovate and enlarge the house while keeping it in context with the beautiful neighborhood.
