This house for a family with four kids needed a mudroom which would be practical, but also provide a sense of celebration of entry. The front door, though beautiful, is rarely used, and we wanted to capture some of its flavor in the door the family uses every day. The mudroom provides a coat closet, cubbies and a bench for putting on and taking off shoes and boots. It is also a lovely transitional space between inside and outside with a lancet window which frames a view of a tree.
A built-in dining nook with a corner curio cabinet was installed in the kitchen.
We also designed custom desks for the children, incorporating storage and practical work space for young scholars!

The 70’s kitchen in this house was refashioned as a cook’s kitchen, with a baking island and space for casual dining. A china cabinet and plate racks, as well as shelves which span a window are among the custom details.

We came up with a color scheme to make the most of the beautiful details of this historic treasure, and worked closely with the painters, masons, and craftspeople to complete this exterior renovation.
