Introducing The Mudroom at #ProjectDutchColonialDelight ✨

Prior to embarking on this renovation, a mudroom did not exist in this home. We worked closely with the architect and builder to carve out this space in the addition and boy are we glad we did!

Fun fact: remember the leaded glass window from the before pics in our last post introducing the living room? We were unable to preserve it there due to some crumbling exterior rock, so we moved it to the mudroom to add natural light into this space. First, it was carefully removed and sent to @meydalighting to be restored and sandwiched between glass to prevent further decay, then it was installed above the mudroom cabinets. It is the perfect architectural addition to this space!

We designed plenty of closed and open storage to handle this family’s daily needs, added pretty hardware, a bench seat cushion (thanks @decorfabrics.design), and a gallery wall to balance the height of the window on the opposite wall. We even incorporated heated floors for an extra layer of everyday comfort when the weather gets cold here in NY.

Proof that even the most functional (and petite!) spaces can be beautiful. 🤍

INTRODUCING // The Living Room at #ProjectDutchColonialDelight. ✨

Our team gave this living room a full glow up, beginning with a beautifully updated fireplace surround and hearth, richly refinished wood floors, and a reworked ceiling that adds just the right amount of subtle architectural interest overhead.

We layered in a moody wallpaper, custom linen window treatments, and plenty of texture to create a space that feels both warm and inviting. By thoughtfully reimagining the layout, we established a more natural flow that supports everyday living, while making entertaining feel effortless.

The result? A layered, elevated living room that honors the home’s classic roots while embracing a fresh perspective.

Swipe all the way through to the end to see where we started, what we kept and how every detail came together to transform this space. Can you guess what we kept? ✨

Tucked away on the third floor, this library (named The Owl’s Nest) was designed to feel like a hidden sanctuary. Rich finishes, custom cabinetry, and cozy window seating come together to create a space made for long afternoons, late-night reads, and moments of calm above it all. (Psst…you can sneak a peek at our subtle nod to owls in the bathroom if you swipe left.) Complete with its own beverage bar, a pair of comfy leather sofas and a desk overlooking the Long Island Sound, we’d never want to leave! 🦉

Creating a destination within the home that feels intentional, intimate, and endlessly inviting is our specialty. Email Erika via the link in our profile and let’s create something extraordinary together! ✨
