27 British Colonial Home Design Photos


An original turn-of-the-century Craftsman home had lost it original charm in the kitchen and bathroom, both renovated in the 1980s. The clients desired to restore the original look, while still giving the spaces an updated feel. Both rooms were gutted and new materials, fittings and appliances were installed, creating a strong reference to the history of the home, while still moving the house into the 21st century.

This shower room is for the older son of the household, and we went for a contemporary, 'New York' feel. The shower room has 2 large windows and is flooded with light.

Small master bathroom in light and airy marble makes the space feel larger than it is.


This 1899 townhouse on the park was fully restored for functional and technological needs of a 21st century family. A new kitchen, butler’s pantry, and bathrooms introduce modern twists on Victorian elements and detailing while furnishings and finishes have been carefully chosen to compliment the quirky character of the original home. The area that comprises the neighborhood of Park Slope, Brooklyn, NY was first inhabited by the Native Americans of the Lenape people. The Dutch colonized the area by the 17th century and farmed the region for more than 200 years. In the 1850s, a local lawyer and railroad developer named Edwin Clarke Litchfield purchased large tracts of what was then farmland. Through the American Civil War era, he sold off much of his land to residential developers. During the 1860s, the City of Brooklyn purchased his estate and adjoining property to complete the West Drive and the southern portion of the Long Meadow in Prospect Park.

This room was designed for a teenager who would soon be heading off to college. The homeowner wanted design options that would not need to be updated again now that their daughter was leaving the “nest”. The custom painted chest is by Jane Keltner designs and the antique settee, the homeowner’s own, was reupholstered for the room. The desk is from Jane Keltner, the carpeting is from Glen Eden and custom window treatment fabric and trim are by Brunschwig & Fils. All of the elements come together in this age appropriate color palette of blues, yellows and greens.
