Hidden within a historic Beacon Hill townhouse, this private w**e room combines old-world character with modern craftsmanship. Custom walnut millwork by Kessick W**e Cellars provides storage for up to 1,500 bottles, illuminated by warm integrated LED lighting. Chiseled Battle Grey limestone flooring and a Moroccan lime-plaster ceiling complement the rich wood tones, creating an intimate setting for an impressive collection.

At the center, an island clad in Arabescato Corchia Italian marble, fabricated by Cumar, provides a striking contrast to the surrounding walnut cabinetry. Black steel-framed glass doors offer a glimpse into the room, while carefully considered lighting and materials make this hidden retreat as inviting as it is functional.

A full wall of custom millwork designed to make this Seaport bedroom work harder without sacrificing a clean, tailored feel. Finished in Benjamin Moore Ashland Slate in a satin sheen, the built-in surrounds the television with concealed storage, open shelving, and drawers, while an integrated vanity creates a dedicated space for getting ready.

Armac Martin hardware adds a layer of contrast, pairing satin brass diamond-knurled k***s and pulls with matte black backplates against the deep blue cabinetry.

A study in color, pattern, and scale inside a Beacon Hill townhouse.

For this intimate sitting room, Interior Designer Garrow Kedigian drew inspiration from the homeowners’ Scottish heritage, using their family tartan as the starting point for the entire space. Its saturated red and turquoise palette informed everything that followed, from the textiles to the architectural detailing.

Rather than tempering the pattern in a smaller room, Garrow embraced it. Crown moldings, trim, stiles, and rails were enveloped in a rich red, while layers of furniture and pattern give the room its sense of warmth and enclosure. The result is a highly personal, jewel-box retreat that feels both collected and completely at home within the historic Beacon Hill townhouse.

Bringing the warmth and character of a countryside boot room into the heart of Boston’s South End.

We’re back at our South End project with Interior Designer Natalie King for a progress walkthrough of the boot room, a space inspired in part by The Goring hotel in London. Newly installed dark walnut millwork gives the room a sense of warmth and permanence, paired with hardware, beautifully veined marble, and an unexpected, hammered sink from .

Every detail has been considered to make this hardworking space feel just as refined as the rest of the home, from the abundance of storage to the built-in bench that creates a place to pause at the beginning or end of the day. The pieces are coming together, and we’re getting closer to sharing the completed project.

At the heart of this full-gut South End townhouse renovation, the kitchen was designed to feel refined, functional, and completely integrated with the character of the home.

Benjamin Moore “Apparition” cabinetry wraps the perimeter, paired with a satin-stained walnut island for warmth and contrast. Calacatta Extra Select stone carries across the countertops, island, backsplash, and custom hood with carefully matched veining, while brass hardware and wide-plank Carlisle white oak flooring in “Winter Light” complete the space. A built-in breakfast nook just beyond the kitchen adds another layer of comfort and makes the entire floor feel connected and inviting.

A centuries-old Italian finishing technique, taking shape inside one of our Beacon Hill projects.

We caught up with Maurizio, owner of Pietra Viva, as his team applied Venetian plaster throughout this corridor, including the sweeping arch that continues from wall to ceiling. Using an imported Italian, limestone-based material incorporating Carrara marble stone, the finish is built up by hand to create a subtle, seamless surface that complements the architecture of the home.

The arch presented the biggest challenge, requiring three craftsmen to work together continuously under carefully positioned lighting to keep the texture and finish consistent from beginning to end. Once the plaster has cured, Pietra Viva will return for the final step: applying natural Savon de Marseille with sponges and rags, helping the surface harden and develop its character over time.

These may be some of the hardest-working spaces in the home, but that did not mean they had to feel purely utilitarian. As part of this massive whole-home renovation, the mudroom and side entry were designed to create a polished transition between the outdoors and the main living spaces while providing plenty of everyday storage.

Custom millwork by Herrick & White brings both spaces together, with inset Shaker cabinetry shop-painted in Sherwin-Williams Gauntlet Gray (SW 7019), natural maple interiors, soft-close hardware, and a rift white oak bench stained to coordinate with the cabinetry and finishes found elsewhere in the home. The mudroom combines open storage for coats, bags, and shoes with concealed cabinetry, while additional built-ins in the side entry keep the arrival space clean and organized.

Underfoot, the geometric stone flooring continues through both spaces and into the adjacent hall, giving these functional rooms a much more architectural presence. Paired with the warm gray millwork, crisp white trim, and natural wood accents, it creates an entry sequence that feels every bit as considered as the rooms beyond.

In a neighborhood defined by architectural consistency, the front door is often where individuality begins.

Join Grace, one of our Project Managers, for a walk through Beacon Hill as she explores the colors, materials, finishes, hardware, and details that give the neighborhood’s front doors so much character. From traditional painted and stained wood to bold colors and beautifully detailed entries, there is plenty of room for personality while still respecting the historic streetscape.

And what about those deep, glass-like high-gloss doors that have become so recognizable around the Hill? While that mirror-like finish is more of a modern Beacon Hill tradition than a historically original one, high-gloss finishes are not prohibited. The Beacon Hill Architectural Commission has approved high-gloss door finishes on properties throughout the district, even though more traditional finishes are generally closer to the neighborhood’s historic character. As with any exterior color or finish change in the historic district, the specific work is still subject to Commission review and approval.

It is one of the things that makes walking Beacon Hill so interesting. The architecture may follow a common language, but no two front doors have to tell exactly the same story.

A kitchen designed to feel timeless and detailed.

As part of this full gut renovation, significant reframing and structural work allowed us to raise the kitchen ceiling while creating a single, continuous level without steps on the second floor above. Combined with additional windows, the new volume brings a greater sense of openness and allows natural light to pour into the space.

Custom rift-sawn white oak millwork and wide-plank clear white oak flooring are paired with Mont Blanc quartzite across the counters and range wall. At the center, a La Cornue range sits beneath a custom blackened steel hood detailed with antique brass bands and rivets.

Rich wood, expressive stone, aged metal, natural light, and precise millwork come together in a kitchen that feels open and airy while still grounded in warmth.
