The Design Files - A Beautiful Colonial Renovation

I published a post earlier this year regarding how traditional interiors are “in” again.   I don’t think they were ever out but I’m thrilled to see color and patterns celebrated again.

I recently read about this gorgeous renovation in New York Magazine.  I enjoyed The Cut  Wendy Goodman’s interesting and informative interview with Interior Designer David Nastasi and his husband Michael Stone.

The couple bought the 1922 Colonial in 2014 and started the renovations a year later.  It was a lot of work as the house hadn’t been touched for decades.  It was important to the new owners to keep the elegant architecture of the house while updating it for the way we live today.

It’s a stunner.

Can we talk about this entrance?!  I’m not the biggest Fornasetti fan.  I like it in small doses BUT their Nuvolette wallpaper from Cole & Son?  Cannot get enough of it. Cannot.   This is a bold choice for a traditional home.  I love it.

More wallpaper to love in the dining room. It’s from the Spanish brand, Gaston y Daniela.

I’m writing a separate post about white kitchens. There is nothing dated about this one. All these windows. The mix of modern and traditional. This is a kitchen I could spend hours in.

To seem more of this wonderful renovation, the article is HERE.
