"The primary bath embodies "the sense of fantasy" of the home, says Merill. The space, which was once a closet and then a bedroom, became a multipurpose bathing room-cum-library. The freestanding clawfoot tub sits in front of a trio of windows-"the best view of the whole property," offers Farnham-and a shelf of books. An adjacent reading nook is outfitted with a teal velvet daybed."
""It's like a relaxing workspace," say the homeowners, who like to do a "a lot of reading and writing in the bath." When it finally came time to tackle the kitchen, the challenge was satisfying the family's need for a large cookspace with a design that felt architecturally relevant for an older home. "We found ourselves carving the kitchen into smaller spaces with their own containers that were connected to each other," says Farnham."
The primary bathroom was converted from a closet then a bedroom into a multipurpose bathing room and library centered on a freestanding clawfoot tub placed before three windows and a shelf of books. An adjacent reading nook contains a teal velvet daybed used as a relaxing workspace where the homeowners read and write in the bath. The kitchen renovation prioritized a large cookspace while respecting the home's older architecture. The designers carved the kitchen into smaller, connected spaces and treated major elements—the island, wash station, and pantry—as freestanding furniture. The freestanding approach and old-world detailing create a generational, lived-in Weasley-like kitchen.
