Goal: To elevate the interiors of an otherwise ubiquitous style home.

 

Solution: By creating an addition off the back of the home, the energy and flow of the interiors became distinctive. Adding refined design elements and a platform to display an extensive art collection, this 1940 Connecticut colonial shows off a polished style without being stuffy. Warm colors throughout are brought forward by the neutral wall color way.

 

Result: A surprise upon entry. The center-hall colonial is transformed into a lovely, distinct and highly personal home.
