The historic restoration of this First Period Ipswich, Massachusetts home (c. 1686) was an eighteen-month project that combined exterior and interior architectural work to preserve and revitalize this beautiful home. Structurally, work included restoring the summer beam, straightening the timber frame, and adding a lean-to section. The living space was expanded with the addition of a spacious gourmet kitchen featuring countertops made of reclaimed barn wood. As is always the case with our historic renovations, we took special care to maintain the beauty and integrity of the historic elements while bringing in the comfort and convenience of modern amenities. We were even able to uncover and restore much of the original fabric of the house (the chimney, fireplaces, paneling, trim, doors, hinges, etc.), which had been hidden for years under a renovation dating back to 1746.

With large windows, you want the ability to let in light while not tempting them with dangerous cords. These Luminette privacy shades bring in light, but because they are motorized, won't allow your children to find themselves in harm's way.

TVL Creative: " Up in the master bathroom, elegance abounds. Using the same footprint, we upgraded everything in this space to reflect the client's desire for a more bright, patterned and pretty space. Starting at the entry, we installed a custom reclaimed plank barn door with bold large format hardware from Rustica Hardware. In the bathroom, the custom slate blue vanity from Tharp Cabinet Company is an eye catching statement piece. This is paired with gorgeous hardware from Amerock, vessel sinks from Kohler, and Purist faucets also from Kohler."

We chose to stage this master bedroom in a chic minimal style that accents the vaulted ceiling and grand space. Clean accessories, simple and minimal artwork with oversize mirror, suggest space and calm to tempt potential buyers to make an offer.

Every room in your home should be a safe zone for children. Plantation shutters will give them a view and natural light to play in, but they won't be tempted into the danger of dangling cords.
