In this master bedroom a vaulted ceiling with cove lighting was added to the original 8'-0" ceiling to create the proper scale for the client's furnishings. The ceiling was painted a pale shade of blue for that open air feeling and to contrast the warm chocolate brown walls. The striking chandelier was custom designed and fabricated by Michael Steiner, using blown glass baubles from vintage lamps and a sunburst mirror frame as a ceiling medallion. The client's Art Deco style furnishings & vintage armoire to house TV and linens were re-used to create this stream lined bedroom. Photography by Jerry Blow Architectural Photography

This living room vignette features a blue-and-white geometric patterned area rug; the first of many layers of color in this beach style home.

This home office over the garage has a black leather chair, vintage hanging car with lighting inside, pine desk, drafting table, and silvered raised panel vaulted ceiling.

This project began with a handsome center-entrance Colonial Revival house in a neighborhood where land values and house sizes had grown enormously since my clients moved there in the 1980s. Tear-downs had become standard in the area, but the house was in excellent condition and had a lovely recent kitchen. So we kept the existing structure as a starting point for additions that would maximize the potential beauty and value of the site A highly detailed Gambrel-roofed gable reaches out to the street with a welcoming entry porch. The existing dining room and stair hall were pushed out with new glazed walls to create a bright and expansive interior. At the living room, a new angled bay brings light and a feeling of spaciousness to what had been a rather narrow room. At the back of the house, a six-sided family room with a vaulted ceiling wraps around the existing kitchen. Skylights in the new ceiling bring light to the old kitchen windows and skylights. At the head of the new stairs, a book-lined sitting area is the hub between the master suite, home office, and other bedrooms.

The walls of this formal dining room have all been paneled and painted a crisp white to set off the stark gray used on the upper part of the walls, above the paneling. Ceilings are coffered and a dramatic large pendant lamp is placed centered in the paneled ceiling. A silk light grey rug sits proud under a 12' wide custom dining table. Reclaimed wood planks from Canada and an industrial steel base harden the soft lines of the room and provide a bit of whimsy. Dining benches sit on one side of the table, and four leather and nail head studded chairs flank the other side. The table comfortably sits a party of 12.
