In the dining room, a traditional hutch is finished in period appropriate Soldier Blue Milk Paint, creating a beautiful contrast against the nearby Antique White kitchen cabinetry. Design details such as the mahogany top and beadboard back are carried over from the kitchen design for continuity. Upper cabinetry is highlighted with a decorative valance detail, while the clear glass doors showcase formal dinnerware.

















Around the corner from the kitchen is a walk-in pantry finished in a fresh Maize Classic Paint.

Ample counterspace, a wine refrigerator and several storage solutions make this an ideal staging area for entertaining.














Afternoon light falls on this charming powder room vanity, finished in Bay Breeze, Classic Paint.

Open shelves with decorative valance details provide space for plush bath towels, and an elegant Victorian toekick completes the piece.












Design details in the downstairs guest bath include a lovely crown detail and ornamental shelves to the left and right of the mirror.

At right, the cabinet extends down to the countertop for maximum use of space. Below, three drawers keep necessities within easy reach.

In the Master bath, a double vanity finished in Antique White is custom designed with recessed sink cabinets, creating his and hers standing alcoves. Custom mirror frames are topped with a crown detail, and a beautiful stone countertop with backsplash completes the vanity.



















A decorative bead detail surrounds the doors and drawers for added visual interest.






Mirror image guest baths on the third floor are also finished in Antique White.

Both vanities feature open towel shelves with valance details and decorative toekicks, which create the look of stand-alone furniture.












A casual office space finished in Natural Sand incorporates mahogany tops and beadboard panels.

Adjustable open shelving provides versatile display space for collectibles and books, as well as other office necessities.














On the opposite side of the room, open wall space and a larger countertop allow for the display of artwork and collectibles.

A single crown moulding ties the upper cabinetry together, and the face of the lower cabinetry is extended to the floor. These are two subtle, but important design details.
