Inside this 1905-dated Queen Victorian, four rental units made in the 1950s changed the original design into a dysfunctional home for a single family.
“The landlord literally started throwing up walls,” said designer Lindsay Chambers. “Everything was just very awkward.”
While the developer gutted the home, Chambers was left with a blank slate and a task – to design a house that would sell.
In the kitchen, Chambers began with traditional Shaker cabinetry and an off-white palette. “The inspiration was really just something that was very pleasing and could be a warm and inviting space,” she said.
Above the kitchen sink, lead detailing in the window mimics the original design in the front of the home.
Bronze hardware mixes up the traditional design and gives it a touch of the industrial look.
Chambers approached the master bath similarly, giving it a quarter-sawn walnut vanity and marble countertops.
The transitional bath’s twist is the soft green, Moroccan-style tile. “The bathroom feels traditional, but it’s a little more exciting than what you see everyday,” she said.
