Nestled in New Canaan's historic Silvermine district, this 1828 home had beautiful bones and nearly two centuries of character, but was ready for a fresh chapter. Inspired by the charm and colorful simplicity of Swedish antiques, we reimagined the kitchen and adjoining spaces with a playful palette, thoughtful details, and an appreciation for traditional craftsmanship. From locally hand-painted tiles to dining chairs made in neighboring Rhode Island, each element was chosen to bring new life to the home while honoring its history.
