I’m in the ICU waiting room while my husband is having heart surgery, wishing it was a more normal day and that I was at today’s cabinet installation. However, very pleased with someone’s harmonious beverage choice #renovation #newkitchen #historichomes #antiquehome #newcanaan #newcanaanct

Black houses are trendy for sure, but these clients were inspired by an historic black home in Newport that they have long admired. Historic or trendy, either way I think black looks intriguing in all seasons #customhome #daviddumasarchitect #westonct

Thank you @pamgoodpam, it was a true pleasure working with you and Randy on this grand kitchen renovation, glimpsed here while dodging the cleaners and movers. Can’t wait to show more #kitchenrenovation #beforeandafter #newcanaan #newcanaanct

Just need to dream about this Carmel beach cottage for a minute. Need to. #beachcottage #carmelbythesea #hughcomstock #forsale

From an extensive renovation of an in-town historic landmark home completed last year, this little moment is one of my favorites. Remarkably, this part of the home still had the original flooring, stair railings, moldings, and these glass doors #greekrevival #historicrenovation #antiquehouse #newcanaan #newcanaanct

You are not prepared for the size of this Danby marble slab: it’s over 12 feet long and 2” thick and will top a gorgeous island coming soon to this new kitchen #rowayton #rowaytonct #renovation #underconstruction

Being an architect: perception vs reality

Framing progress in Silvermine. Someday it will look like it was always there #addition #historichomes #antiquehome #silverminect #newcanaan #newcanaanct

Finishing touches - waiting on the automated roll down screens - and loving the lighting from @chloewinstonlighting #otdoorliving #newcanaan #newcanaanct

Mind the gap…. Here comes a big, bright new kitchen for this antique farmhouse #newcanaan #newcanaanct
