Dewey Hill

The kitchen was opened to the living area and completely rebuilt with custom white shaker cabinetry that extends to the ceiling, a large island with a contrasting warm wood base and white quartz top, and a designer tile backsplash. Open shelving on one wall adds visual lightness and display space. Matte black hardware and fixtures throughout create a crisp, modern edge that keeps the farmhouse aesthetic from feeling too traditional.

A purpose-built mudroom with individual cubbies, hooks, bench seating, and overhead storage replaced a bare entry hallway. The built-ins are painted in a warm white with brass hardware to match the kitchen — a design decision that makes the mudroom feel like a continuation of the kitchen rather than a separate space. The bench has storage beneath it, and every family member has their own cubby. It's the detail that makes daily life run more smoothly.

Throughout the home, shiplap accent walls, board-and-batten wainscoting, and custom millwork add the architectural character that the home lacked. The entry foyer features a shiplap wall with a custom built-in bench and hooks. The living room's shiplap fireplace surround is the focal point of the main floor. These details are the difference between a renovated home and a designed one.

All bedrooms received new wide-plank hardwood floors, updated trim and doors, and new lighting fixtures — creating a consistent, elevated feel throughout the upper level. The primary suite received particular attention: a new walk-in closet with custom built-in shelving and a primary bathroom with a walk-in shower and double vanity.
