DESCRIPTION

This renovation project breathed new life into a Colonial home from 1900, marrying modern functionality with its inherent colonial charm. Initially, the home’s layout was defined by symmetrical spaces flanking a central corridor, which included the staircase. Dividing walls and a step down into the kitchen and living room contributed to a confined atmosphere. The innovative solution involved demolishing the wall separating the corridor and the living room, merging them into a singular, expansive area. Despite a slight reduction in ceiling height, aligning the living room’s floor with the corridor’s enhanced the cohesion of the space. Aesthetic upgrades included replacing upper cabinets with open shelving and painting the lower cabinets white, which, alongside a farmhouse sink and white countertop, amplified the sense of openness. “Colonial Chic,” the name now given to this Airbnb, showcases the transformation, with further details and booking options available via the link below. https://airbnb.com/h/colonialchicva
