This 1800s farmhouse in Dover, Massachusetts, had lots of original charm but also had undergone several renovations over the years. The homeowners, parents of two young boys, needed help adapting the kitchen to work with their 21st-century lifestyle. “I would describe my clients’ style as traditional but clean and unfussy,” interior designer Jeanne Barber says.

The existing kitchen was generously sized but had a lot of wasted space. For the new layout, Barber considered things like improving the traffic flow between rooms, accommodating gatherings and creating a way for the young children who live here to grab drinks and snacks in a spot outside the work triangle. She aimed to blend modern conveniences with traditional elements, and she did so skillfully, giving the kitchen what she calls “mood and soul.”

This 1907 home on a spacious lot in New Jersey had many beautiful details, including walnut millwork and original molding. But those details had aged past the point of rescue. So the homeowners reached out to designer Anastasia Harrison of AHD&Co to help update the home while honoring its roots. Harrison, who uses Houzz Pro business software, started by taking a piece of original stained walnut to a millworker and creating a match for new rich walnut cabinets in the kitchen. A new curved island has reeded detailing that complements reeded lighting and glass cabinet doors.

Elsewhere, fresh elements like a salmon pink paint for that original molding in the dining room, brick-look porcelain tile in a herringbone pattern for the mudroom and a light-filled en suite bathroom in a former sunroom ensure this home will remain timeless for years to come.
