Warwick Road Residence
A tight and overcrowded dining room with dated wallpaper was transformed into a bright, yet cozy living space for a young family. Colorful mid-century modern furnishings co-mingle with historic details to inject youth, eclecticism and personality into what was an underutilized and overly formal feeling space. Overhead recess lighting was added and ceilings were smoothed out to brighten and modernize the dark room. Wood-burning fireplace with original tile hearth, brick surround and classic wood mantle became useable once again, after spending many years hidden in the corner of the dining room. In kitchen beyond, a new large pantry was created, as well as a cheerful powder room hidden behind a pocket door.
