WHIMSICAL HISTORIC HOME

1700's Charm in Maytown, PA

If this project has one message, it is "make your home your own." From the start this client was ready to do just that. She and her husband had recently moved into this gorgeous 1700's home and were anxious to put their stamp on it. She knew she liked traditional, eclectic, and boho styles and was looking to balance a light and airy feel with some punches of drama, color, and pattern. Her biggest challenge was working through the awkward shape of the living room to create an easy conversation space without blocking the flow of traffic to the dining room.


We knew immediately that the fireplace would be a stunner in a bold color and were thrilled when our clients were on board. The rest of the space flowed from there with fresh paint, layered rugs, and pops of brass, marble and capiz. 

The dining room is brimming with personality, striking a perfect balance between formality and fun. Our client knew from the start that she wanted wallpaper in the space….um, agreed! Her dining table and cabinet remained, while new upholstered chairs and dramatic chandelier added some softness and shine. 


The entry hall got its own refresh with new lighting, runners, wall art and accent table. How fun is the little lamp?! We fell as much in love with this space as the homeowners!
