Home at College

Jens Frederick Larson designed this large frat house living room in 1926. As our Smith & Vansant team renovated it 80 years we softened the colors. We stripped and painted the original iron radiators a deep chocolate brown to better blend with the dark stained oak trim. Furniture maker Pompanoosuc Mills is located a few miles away. We picked some of their stock pieces, like the Windsor chairs and the coffee table. The side table was made to our design. We chose the leather and stain colors to fit the room. Photo by Rob Karosis
