A Designer Puts the Cool in a Classic Long Island Colonial

This Long Island home's façade reveals some of the upgrades architect and designer Elizabeth Steimberg put in place. The dated shutters were removed to declutter the home's appearance, all of the finishes were refreshed and a bold red door alludes to the stylish secrets and many infusions of that energetic shade beyond the home's four walls. A curved brick wall was replaced with a single set of steps leading to the front door and the landscaping follows suit with a simple, elegant overhaul.
