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.

This beautifully curated transitional kitchen blends warmth, functionality, and fresh design. Rich wood cabinetry along the range wall adds timeless depth, while soft sage green base cabinets and glass-front uppers at the beverage station introduce a light, organic contrast. At the heart of the space is a spacious island in a muted sage tone, topped with crisp white quartz countertops and anchored by five sleek black bar stools. A matte black pull-down faucet and trio of modern globe pendant lights create a balanced mix of traditional charm and contemporary edge. Stainless steel appliances—including a built-in oven/microwave combo, double-door refrigerator, and a chimney-style range hood—blend seamlessly into the cabinetry. Wide-plank wood flooring and minimalist black hardware complete this inviting, functional space that feels both grounded and fresh.
