What an impressive transformation. So many renovations strip away the character that made an old house special, but you both achieved the opposite. This beautiful 19th-century Connecticut Colonial feels fresh and functional for modern living while retaining the warmth, craftsmanship, and charm that only a 200-year-old home can offer. It's clear that every decision was made with respect for the house's history. A wonderful example of preservation and thoughtful design working hand in hand. Great job guys.

It is very gratifying to see people who respect the integrity and character of these heritage homes. It is very possible to make repairs and thoughtful updates while retaining that integrity. It is absolutely correct that we are only stewards of them.

If you guys see my comment, you should use chalk board paint behind the cupboard doors that go no where and you can keep a little grocery list and calendar in there. It’s super charming ❤

As a New Englander myself, I wanted to thank you for keeping this house as it was intended to be. I grew up in a very old home and the memories cannot be matched.
