Prior to the new owners’ decision to remodel, this 1880s stone farmhouse had remained relatively untouched. Their goal was an eclectic mix of old and new, with a European flair, wishing to see as much of the original framing as possible. S&D’s two-year renovation process included gutting the entire basement, first and second floors, along with intricate mechanical, plumbing and electrical work. On the first floor, an exposed steel beam was installed on one side of the house, juxtaposing the hand-hewn beam on the other side. Original flooring was uncovered, stripped, sanded and refinished. S&D used reclaimed barn wood to cover the walls throughout the home whenever possible. Modern accents, like stainless steel cable railing and LED under-cabinet lighting, were also incorporated.
