Summer Street
A historic Newburyport home, reimagined room by room: a deep green library, a mural dining room with a mirrored bar, and a blush and green kitchen with a scalloped brass hood.
About the project
Summer Street is a historic Newburyport home that we reimagined room by room. We gave each space its own color story and kept the house’s period character at the centre.
The library is wrapped in deep green, with built-in bookshelves, a marble fireplace and a patterned chaise for reading. Next door, a blush velvet settee sits beneath a gilt-framed gallery wall.
The dining room is the showpiece: a scenic tree mural under a plum ceiling, lit by an iron chandelier. A mirrored bar sits beside the plum-trimmed doorway to the kitchen.
The galley kitchen pairs blush upper cabinets with green lowers, brass hardware and a brass bridge faucet. Gallery-rail shelves keep everyday pieces on display. A scalloped brass range hood crowns the induction range, and a black and white checkerboard floor runs through to the front hall and staircase.
The result is a house that feels collected rather than decorated: bold where it counts, and respectful of the bones of an old Newburyport home.
