This New Hope Farmhouse was originally built in 1771 with additions added on either side of the main structure over two centuries. Our task was to redesign the expansive family room, kitchen, and pantry, so we took advantage of the generous natural light that beams through the windows and skylight to create an upscale farmhouse design with a lighter and brighter aesthetic and improved functionality. A quartzite slab backsplash, reconfigured appliance layout, and new cabinetry in crisp white with glass fronts lend a fresh, clean look. The custom island has hidden specialty storage. A concealed coffee bar has antiqued mirrors inset into the cabinetry’s arched panels. The pantry is one of the features of the home that the clients love best; with windows on three sides, it offers views of the drive leading up to the house on one side and the farm on the other. The mosaic-tiled wall surrounding the bay window creates a central focal point above the larger farmhouse sink. By layering texture and pattern throughout the entire space, the result is a cohesive, welcoming, and warm place to gather with family and friends.
