Dining room furniture is essential for creating an inviting and comfortable atmosphere for your family and friends. From the dining table and chairs to sideboards and buffets, there is a wide range of pieces to choose from to create your perfect dining room. When selecting dining room furniture, consider the style of your home and the space available. Think about the functionality of the pieces and whether they will be used for formal or casual dining.
The dining table is the centerpiece of the room, so choose one that is both stylish and practical. Look for a table with a sturdy construction and a finish that is easy to clean. The size of the table should match the number of people you plan to have around it. If you are short on space, look for a folding table or a drop-leaf table that can be extended when needed.
The right chairs can make a huge difference in the comfort and look of your dining room. Choose chairs that complement your table and the overall style of your space. Look for chairs with ergonomic designs and comfortable upholstery. Consider the number of chairs you need, as well as any additional pieces, such as bar stools or benches.

After: With the removal of the dividing wall, the oven was thoughtfully relocated and integrated into the redesigned kitchen layout. It was built into the cabinetry next to the new 36” counter-depth French door refrigerator, creating a seamless and cohesive look. This strategic move improved the kitchen's flow and enhanced its overall functionality. Surrounding the oven, ample overhead cabinet storage was added, providing plenty of space for cookware, baking trays, and other essentials, keeping everything organized and easily accessible. The sleek, built-in design not only maximized the available space but also contributed to the modern aesthetic of the kitchen, making it a visually appealing and highly practical feature of the remodel.

The Timothy Hyde House, c. 1729, dear to the homeowners for its historic details, but long-lacking the family oriented spaces and living areas essential for today’s extended family lifestyle. Unwilling to compromise an ounce of character, this growing family longed for more practical amenities like a visitor’s private retreat with bedroom, living room and bath, garage parking, a proper master bedroom layout with full bath and walk-in closet, in addition to a new kitchen that would function as the heart of the home. Ultimately the total square footage was doubled and the entire flow of the home was reworked keeping all of the character details intact. The kitchen is the hub, serving up its center island topped off with reclaimed white oak once belonging to a barn built in the 1880’s; jet mist leather granite tops off the remainder of the kitchen. Custom cable lighting was the ingenious solution for the complicated preservation of the original exposed beams and posts in the kitchen. The barn door was custom crafted from original timbers. Many cups of coffee will be enjoyed at the cozy, sun-filled dining nook overlooking the family room and new adjacent deck. The rear, separate entry mudroom with step-up laundry was a long awaited luxury over the previous basement facilities. Moving upstairs, a centrally located bathroom was removed to create a wheelhouse style landing/passage hall, now home to a quiet workspace, featuring original wide plank floors and tailor-made sconces. Baths were added and upgraded including soapstone tops, marble, a glorious soaker tub in the generous master bath, all giving the home a taste of luxury. Bathing in sunlight rests the master suite starring the original beams, cathedral ceilings, and well-suited chandelier. Throughout the home strategically designed built-ins provide a plethora of storage and organization. This 280 year-old Colonial shines on brighter than ever. We are proud to have been part of its long history.
