This project involved a thoughtful addition to an existing colonial. Our mission was to create a comfortable home that feels layered and collected using a mix of the clients’ existing pieces with antiques and custom upholstery. A favorite find was a circa 1850 Birdseye maple secretary purchased from an estate sale that now houses table linens in the breakfast room. Details and special finishes were added throughout such as a hand painted stenciled floor in the entry, hand painted strié walls in the living room and marbleized paper inside the library bookcases.
