In this cozy Newton, MA colonial, we undertook a complete remodel of the kitchen, transforming it into the heart of the home. By raising the ceiling in the dining area and adding skylights, we created an airy, spacious feel. The highlight is the stunning hand-painted marble tile, complemented by custom fabrics on all furnishings and a charming dining nook with a custom upholstered banquette. This elegant tile also appears as a floor accent in the laundry area, while the adjacent bathroom shower features encaustic tiles and a traditional basket weave marble floor. Custom storage cubbies with bespoke baskets add functionality. The redesign ensures the kitchen and dining areas are perfect for hosting family gatherings, making them the cozy yet expansive focal point of the house.
