The blue-and-white floral Serena & Lily fabric on the sunroom’s sofa and chairs was the first item the clients and interior designer selected for the decor; the tables are also from Serena & Lily, and the pendant is from McGee & Co.

The primary bath is sheathed in Bianco Dolomiti and Blue Damasco marbles; the Hector Finch light fixture is from Harbinger and the chair is from Serena & Lily.

The husband’s office exudes a mid-twentieth-century vibe, thanks in part to the stained-oak paneling. The custom armchair is from Maiden Home.

An Astep light fixture from Matter illuminates the family room, where RH sofas flank a Maiden Home cocktail table; the fireplace surround is treated with Venetian plaster, while the mantel itself is limestone.

The classic white kitchen features Statuario Bello countertops and pendants from Meridian Lighting.

The serene primary bedroom’s fireplace is surrounded by soapstone fire bricks and limestone.

When designing the brick residence, Burr Salvatore Architects looked to 1920s and ’30s architecture for inspiration.

The light-filled foyer features an Ann Sacks mosaic.

In the dining room, which has walls treated with Venetian plaster, a long custom table from Greenwich Fine Woodwork accomodates the homeowners’ children and grandchildren on holidays.

The living room blends comfort with understated style. Designer Linda Hoffman chose low-slung chairs and coordinating ottomans. The Roche Bobois armchair at left is her favorite: “It’s beyond comfortable, everyone always wants to sit in it. And when you do, you don’t want to get up.” An André Monet portrait of Kate Moss hangs on an accent wall clad in black-and-gold Venetian plaster.

In the family room, Hoffman replaced the original overpowering fieldstone fireplace with a minimalist surround in Venetian plaster. The Minotti sofa is covered in a Holly Hunt fabric; the Chime sconce is from Studio Endo, and the Lucite coffee table is custom.

The Tudor details were left intact, but the exterior stucco and trim were lightened up to showcase the newly painted black windows.

In order to highlight an old-world element, the existing balustrade was retained but polished to give it a refresh.

Hoffman artfully mixes textures in the dining room, from a deco-inspired mirrored sideboard to the oversize chairs covered in a plush white boucle. The pendant fixture is from Visual Comfort & Co.

The primary bedroom is in the midst of a refresh, says the designer. The custom headboard is upholstered in a faux snakeskin fabric. BELOW: The adjacent bath’s custom vanity is by Prestige Cabinetry & Design.

The team gutted the primary bath and reimagined it with a fluted oak vanity and a coordinating makeup table.

The speakeasy cabinetry conceals a refrigerator and ice maker, and the wine fridge hints at the more extensive collection cellared in the finished basement.

The primary suite is positioned in one of the Tudor’s gables, so the designers embraced the romance with silk pillows and shades of blush and ivory.

While most of the home’s marble is honed, Luppino and Irwin opted for polished Calacatta marble in the bath for a dressier feel.

keeping with the dark, moody theme of the nearby speakeasy, the color-drenched powder room boasts a hand-painted Porter Teleo wallpaper in a deep forest green.

The far end of the great room has a casual dining area that overlooks the side yard.

The designers divided the home’s enormous great room into more intimate conversation areas. How enormous? Each of the two faux-leather-topped coffee tables measures seventy-five-by-sixty inches.

Interior designers Cami Luppino and Alana Irwin kept most of the home’s existing millwork intact. In the entry’s arch, they installed a floating marble slab; the gray bench underneath coordinates with the stone’s veining. The mirror was an Etsy find.

The formal dining room’s channel-tufted banquette offers a perch for more casual dining or conversation over cocktails.

A custom ebonized-oak table and Kravet chairs upholstered in a green performance velvet accommodate dinner parties of ten in the formal dining room.

A makeup table separates twin sinks in oak vanities in this deco-inspired bath.

For the vanity top and backsplash, designer Rachel Brooks chose Silestone in charcoal with a suede finish.

Brooks chose the same tile—Elysium’s Mystic Pearl polished porcelain—in two sizes for two different looks on the shower walls and the floor.

The centerpiece of the space is BainUltra’s Celestia tub. The polished-nickel floor-mount tub filler is from Kohler.

The transformation of a dark, awkward space in a former church called for an ecumenical design solution. The architect and designer collaborated to create a soft, intimate en suite bath and dressing room with rounded corners and standout cabinetry.

The tambour millwork was fashioned from bleached walnut.

he cozy hallway leads to a shower on the right and a water closet on the left.

A Sputnik chandelier and integrated LED lighting concealed behind the closet doors illuminate the dressing room.

IronArt Custom Metalwork crafted the wine cellar door and handle, while mason Matt Parisi used a European beaded mortar joint to bring extra depth to the surrounding granite veneer stone.

The castle-like home features a three-story turret. The turret’s second level is connected to the living room and offers views of the mountains, the patio, and the perennial gardens. The turret’s upper room is a meditation space, part of the primary suite.

A lounge is oriented toward views of a distant mountain range from the garret-like level of Chateau W. The door on the right leads to a sauna.

A Renaissance Rumford 1500 fireplace/wood stove with a guillotine door stands at the far end of the living room. The fireplace surround features veneer granite stone with three-dimensional grouting.

The kitchen’s ocean-blue quartzite countertops pair nicely with the blue cabinetry, made by Cookshire Cabinets in Cookshire, Quebec.

Chateau W sits on the crest of a hill and, like chateaus of the past, features rooms that offer both prospect and refuge.

The northwestern end of the home, dubbed Chateau W, is composed of veneer granite stone, shingles, and curved panels.

Built into the turret’s lower level, this bar is adjacent to a generous banquet room, the private wine cellar, and a full-size billiard table.

Everyone gathers in the walk-out family room to watch movies and play music. A white-oak ladder provides access to the two twin-size beds above the queen beds in the basement bunk room; spillover guests rest their heads in a nearby study.

The living area also boasts views of the barrel sauna perched at the edge of the woodlands, a favorite après-ski hangout spot. The homeowner chose the furnishings with support and installation assistance from interior designer Kristen Trottier of Hinterland Studio.

To reference the conifer forest seen from every room in the house, the kitchen cabinetry wears Benjamin Moore Chimichurri and sports wood pulls.

Beyond the Wittus wood-burning stove, the living area offers expansive views of a meadow, forest, and mountain peaks.

The home, with its H-shaped floor plan, sits on a gently sloping parcel of land at the edge of a meadow that’s filled with cornfields during the summer. Even though it’s in a neighborhood, says builder Forrest Twombly, it exudes privacy.

The home’s exterior is clad in custom-stained eastern hemlock siding. The front porch has room enough for wood storage and a spot to stash skis, essential for a family that cherishes time on the slopes.

Brass mesh panels provide ventilation for shoe bins in the mudroom. Designer Sage Conti used the same mesh behind the six quatrefoil cutouts in the closet door. Choosing a pattern for the floor tile was a no-brainer: a few Star Wars fighters (they lead to a Death Star on the closet floor) did the trick.

The primary bedroom’s custom door from ArcArt Furniture looks like an antique. “We intentionally designed it to look like it would transport you to another place,” says Conti, who selected hand-embroidered Schumacher Kantha grasscloth to complete the look.

Conti designed the large pantry and integrated refrigerator with a library ladder so Roome, at 5’2″, could reach the upper cab

Conti commissioned the kitchen’s leaded-glass window as a surprise from Dubois to his fiancée, Nikole Roome; it’s modeled after a stained-glass window from her childhood home.

A gold arched mirror from the couple’s own collection hangs above the living room’s original 1910 fireplace.

A fixture from Visual Comfort & Co. illuminates the custom breakfast table.

Just outside the door, Conti took advantage of a small nook, wrapping it in copper to house firewood for the dining room fireplace.

Homeowner Jerome Dubois’s 200-year-old farmhouse table was refinished and raised for the modern family. The doors of the built-in cabinet on the right open to reveal a wet bar with Ijen Blue quartzite counters and a hammered sink, while the cabinet on the left displays heirloom dishes.

Gauzy Etnea fabric curtains by Villa Nova soften the look in the primary bedroom.

Cognizant of the primary bedroom’s tight floor plan, Dana sourced a space-saving combination bed/headboard/nightstand from Community Manufacturing.

A Jack-and-Jill bathroom serves two of the children’s bedrooms; pops of orange nod to the husband’s desire to have that color sprinkled throughout the house.

Undulating, wavy-textured, high-variation gloss ceramic tiles in mossy green, from DiscoverTile, line the shower in the main bathroom.

A durable concrete floor in the mudroom easily handles heavy, wet ski boots.

The door to the main bedroom (far right) is hidden in rustic wood nickel gap siding that extends from the exterior facade to a corner of the main-floor landing.

The dark-stained oak of the kitchen cabinetry “brings some texture and an earthy grounding quality to a space that’s otherwise bright white with very little detail,” says Dana.

Architect Brian Hamor oriented the residence to face the “chin” of Mount Mansfield, the highest point in Vermont. For the great room’s furnishings, designers Courtney Dana and Jayme Kennerknecht playfully (but unobtrusively) paired sophisticated silvery denims and blues with camel-colored sheepskin on the armchair and a floor lamp so massive you can fit under its shade.

The clients’ artwork, an antique desk, and a vintage sculpture lend interest to the primary bedroom.

Sliding doors separate the husband’s office from a light-filled bre

The rift-oak-veneer kitchen cabinetry has a sand-color wire-brushed finish that pairs nicely with the Danby marble backsplash and countertops.

Sliding glass panels allow for indoor-outdoor living in the great room, where chairs from Cassina surround a dining table from B&B Italia; the light fixture is from Neenas, and the rug is from Fort Street Studio.

The great room’s fireplace is comprised of a granite surround and a marble hearth.

This waterfront residence on Cape Cod features ash siding, a metal roof, a copper front door, and New Hampshire granite details; the existing overgrown site was transformed by STIMSON, which incorporated primarily native plantings.

The structure that contains the garage and guesthouse—which boasts a kitchen, bath, living and dining areas, a guest room, and a workspace—mimics the contemporary gable form of the main house.

The walls of the primary bath are sheathed in porcelain slabs while the floors are marble.

The office, on the same level as the primary suite, is both practical and beautiful with its Herman Miller chairs and corkboard desk walls set against cabinetry painted Farrow & Ball’s sumptuous Brinjal, a rich aubergine hue.

The library gets its quiet drama from Benjamin Moore’s saturated Forest Floor on the insides of the bookshelves and the plush purple velvet of the swivel chairs. Designer Jill Golberg punched things up with some judicious shots of ochre in the cocktail table and accessories.

Benjamin Moore’s Narragansett Green on the ceiling and crown molding brings the high-ceilinged dining room down to a cozier scale.

In the primary bedroom, the design team built out a wall of custom cabinetry, then tucked the bed into a niche with a headboard wall upholstered in deep-blue velvet, giving the room a sense of serenity and comfort.

The basement-level family room, which includes a kitchenette for keeping snacks close at hand, is tricked out in midcentury modern style in bright primary colors. The wall in the niche is covered in encaustic tiles from Ann Sacks.

Benjamin Moore’s Revere Pewter on the cabinets offers subtle contrast with the Dune White walls of the kitchen; cane-backed Hoffmann stools belly up to the dark-stained oak island topped with a dramatically veined Arabescato Corchia marble.

Steel-framed glass doors usher light into the foyer, where Lawson-Fenning’s curvy Griffin console and an oversize mirror are paired with industrial-style wall sconces from Lostine.

Twin settees outfitted in a wool/linen horizontal stripe anchor one end of the long dining room, illuminated by a quartet of playfully oversized sconces. The green viscose rug from CB2 is a durable choice for a family with three young children.

The dining area’s banquette, tucked into cabinetry providing a wealth of storage, wears faux leather for easy cleanup. The clients’ own artwork, a colorful barn scene by Maine artist Jean Jack, adds a cheerful note.

Jib doors conceal the his-and-hers closets in the primary suite, but Goldberg included a whimsical touch by painting the closet walls an eye-popping pink.

A simple curved staircase invites exploration of the home’s third floor, which is the children’s domain.

Among the many spaces meant just for kids is a reading hideaway, with Harry Potter-themed wallpaper, tucked under the first-floor staircase.

In the primary bedroom, a coved ceiling adds architectural gravitas and reinforces the blue palette set in the parlor and kitchen.

The primary bathroom takes on a softer tone in the tile-lined walk-in shower and light-tone wood stain of the double vanity.

Off the foyer is a colorful, sophisticated parlor where grown-ups can gather. The arch added by Eleven Interiors creates a graceful entrance to the room made bright with Romo Lavinia Matte wallcovering and woodwork painted Sherwin-Williams Gale Force.

Adding to the sense of history is an antique apothecary cabinet, a family heirloom, that occupies a second-floor home office.

Crown Point also did the cabinetry in the new kitchen. Blue painted cupboards contrast with the natural wood finish on the island’s base.

The arch motif is repeated in the living room, drawing the eye to foyer and parlor beyond.

The owners use the dining room, furnished with a Stickley table and vintage chairs, for family suppers as well as dinner parties. An archway opens to an alcove that houses a fully stocked bar with cabinetry and shelving crafted by Crown Point Cabinetry.

Bright blue tile enlivens the oversize shower in the children’s bathroom.

The breakfast area is set in a corner with windows overlooking the back garden and dining terrace. The light-filled nook doubles as a cozy homework station for the family’s two young students.

Amboy bases become sconces, pendants, flush mounts, and lamps.
