This cozy nook becomes a retreat, perfect for curling up with a good book as the snow falls.

The living room, with its challenging length and narrow depth, offers a sun-filled space to unwind and embrace the comforts of home. The focal point of the room is a long bench amidst the original wood accents, exuding a sense of timeless charm.

“To maximize the potential of the room’s long and narrow layout, we curated a blend of furniture pieces that create distinct seating areas,” Victoria explains. “A carefully designed long sectional takes center stage, providing ample seating for relaxation and socializing. Complementing the sectional is an accent chair that adds a touch of character and enhances the room’s versatility. The living room now seamlessly flows and a sense of purpose.”

“The kitchen is adorned with intricate cabinet details: age-worn brass knobs grace the cabinetry, adding a touch of vintage charm that harmonizes with the overall aesthetic. Striped café curtains create a delightful visual contrast against the backdrop of the cabinetry.”

“Just off of the living room, French-paned glass doors open up into a moody dining room moment. Paying homage to the home’s history, we made a deliberate choice to maintain the original woodwork staining of the beams, windows, and arched doorways.”

“However, we opted to tone down the built-in elements by painting them, striking a delicate balance between preserving the home’s heritage and refreshing it,” Victoria explains. “At the heart of the dining room stands a long dining table with a striking travertine base. The table is surrounded by rush chair seats, exuding a rustic charm that complements the space’s moody ambiance. Custom mohair chairs in a rich tan hue add a touch of luxury and sophistication and break up all the hard materials. Illuminating the space is a sculptural and stunning brass light fixture, casting a warm, inviting glow that enhances the room’s atmospheric allure.”

“Once you enter through the home’s enclosed porch through an arched doorway, a striking organic-shaped brass mirror and a sculptural white pendant light adorn the entryway, reflecting the stairwell moment.”

“The powder bathroom is a captivating blend of antique chic and vintage allure. Anchoring the space is an antique silver framed mirror with intricate details and an aged patina.”

“The primary bedroom offers a serene space with its textured plaster walls, creating a rich backdrop,” Victoria says. “A low bed was installed to add a contemporary touch to the historic home and is beautifully complemented by brass sconces and marble nightstands.”

“Adjacent to the bed, a custom bench with custom upholstery invites relaxation and provides an additional moment of comfort and style. To introduce an element of the unexpected, a wavy rug grounds the room, offering a visual contrast against the original oak floors. The rug becomes a captivating focal point, infusing the space with a touch of artistic expression and individuality.”

“The rattan sconces seamlessly tie in with the dark artwork frame, adding a touch of natural warmth to the space. They create a gentle interplay between light and dark, enhancing the overall ambiance.”
