When we first met, they had just purchased the home and asked us to help update the systems, deal with rainwater infiltration, earthquake retrofitting, and remodel the main living spaces of the home. The goal was to bring back the original elegance of the home, which was hidden under layers of grime, carpet, curtains and late ‘80s remodels. We created a master plan and remodeled the home over several phases.

THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE

Once we protected the home from the elements and upgraded the systems, we refinished the floors, restored and painted the millwork and selected and installed period lighting. To add the finishing touches with furnishings, curtains and accessories, we teamed up with Jenna Sheingold Studio.

KITCHEN AND ADDITION

We increased the footprint of the by building a 3’ deep addition that made a huge difference to the space, originally designed for servants. The additional square footage allowed for a corner eating nook with storage benches and a small mudroom. We restored the original cabinetry in the butler’s pantry and had Versatile Wood Products match the new kitchen cabinets to the originals. The soapstone counters, tongue & groove paneling and new wall of large windows create a sunny and comfortable space for cooking and gathering.
