This three-story Victorian near Newton Center was painted head-to-toe, with thoughtful care to creating a dynamic home. The client, a painter, brought her own artistic eye and fearlessness with color to the project, but needed help bringing a sense of cohesiveness to the bold colors that she loved, which was done by grounding them with various gray tones that anchored the space and created flow throughout. The use of color and modern lighting helped keep the home’s century-old architecture and the client’s existing antiques from feeling overly traditional, creating a highly personal space that reflects the artist who lives there.
