FEATURED STORY / PARLOR
The Quiet Drama of a Queen Anne Parlor
We took down a wall, gave this Queen Anne parlor back five feet, and painted its original carved mantel nearly black.
VIEW STORY →Our Projects.
We design with intention rather than trend: old and new, bold and quiet, gathered rather than bought. The result is a conversation between a nineteenth-century house and a twenty-first-century life.

We added a guest room on the garden floor and wrapped it in Morris-inspired florals and plum-brown paint, so overnight guests feel expected rather than squeezed in.
VIEW STORY →The Deep-Green Pantry That Works Like a Second Kitchen
We built a deep-green pantry that works like a second kitchen, with Breccia Pernice marble, hidden storage for the unglamorous things and a water station for the dog.
