Parlor Turned Library

Designers Simon Aldridge and Lisa Tanno added dramatic floor-to-ceiling bookcases featuring original colonial carpentry details.

Concealed Heating

The bookcase design factored in the room's radiator. A lattice-patterned cover was made to hide the radiator and add period appeal.

Historic Charm

The room's modern windows, added during a 1960 renovation of the house, were swapped for historical wood sash units. Now the windows feel right for a New England colonial home.

Colonial Fireplace

The fireplace dates back to 1760. Its original granite hearth was carefully restored as part of the remodel.

Finishing Details

Dove gray walls set the backdrop for tihs cozy yet sophisticated library. The antlers on the fireplace were found on the farm.

Mixing Styles

The traditional style of the built-in bookcases mixes with the playful, sophisticated style of the furnishings making the space feel fresh and unfussy.
