DOVER FARMHOUSE

NATICK COLONIAL

A 2020 South Natick colonial still read as new construction for a family with children who wanted practical rooms that felt lived in. Across the living room, dining room, breakfast area, and powder room, we replaced modern lighting with traditional chandeliers and sconces, added color, wallpaper, and window treatments, and mixed in antique finds. Built around existing furniture, the high-low approach gave the house the character of a colonial rather than a newbuild.

WELLESLEY COLONIAL

A young Wellesley family needed durable, budget-conscious updates to their colonial's living room, dining room, and nursery—without sacrificing character. The solution: a high-low mix pairing off-the-shelf furniture with custom fabrics and detailing, anchored by antique finds like a statement grandfather clock. In the nursery, a Schumacher Madame de Pompadour mural sets the backdrop, while bright colors and durable materials balance family-proof practicality with old-new charm.

WELLESLEY NURSERY

For their second daughter’s nursery in Wellesley, a young family wanted to skip pink and purple and design a room that could grow with her. We built the design around a half-tester canopy by Makkas Workroom, lined in a check print and paired with Schumacher’s Khilana Floral above the crib. Sized to move from crib to a twin or full bed, it anchors a green-and-white palette layered with antique estate-sale finds.

WELLESLEY PENTHOUSE

This Wellesley penthouse was a builder-spec shell: generic finishes with no warmth for a couple relocating from their antique Connecticut home to be closer to kids and grandchildren. We gutted the builder-grade elements and rebuilt with custom cabinetry, redesigned stone vanities, and refinished floors, layering in Schumacher wallpapers and Lee Jofa window treatments. A combined dressing room/office maximized square footage, while the clients' art collection grounded the colorful, traditional palette in family history.
