Transforming a Royal Barry Wills Cape: A Second Floor Expansion

November 9, 2023

Second floor renovation in Wellesley MA

The Royal Barry Wills Cape Cod-style home, known for its steep-pitched roof, symmetrical façade, and central chimney, exudes a sense of New England charm and history. These homes were designed to be cozy, modest, and elegant, making them a beloved architectural style.


Our homeowners had a Royal Barry Wills Cape that had "great bones," but space had become a significant issue for their growing family. They were faced with the dilemma of either moving to a larger home or renovating their existing one to meet their needs. They chose the latter, deciding to preserve the character of their beloved Cape while adding the necessary space.


The primary goal of the renovation was to create more living space without compromising the home's charm. To achieve this, a second floor expansion was planned, adding a beautiful and bright master bedroom and master bath, as well as two very spacious bedrooms for the kids.  The kids rooms feature large dormer windows that not only add character to the exterior of the house but also create cozy nooks and additional headroom inside.


And the finishing touch! A craftsman-style portico was added to the front entrance for protection against the elements and to give the home great curb appeal.

Sudbury- Cape style kitchen remodel

October 14, 2025
This Cape-style kitchen was once dark, cramped, and dated, but the homeowners dreamed of something bright and welcoming. We opened up the layout, added larger windows, and let natural light flood the space. Crisp white cabinets now reflect that light beautifully and pair perfectly with the home’s warm wood tones. A small breakfast nook adds a cozy spot for morning coffee or casual meals, while playful pops of color bring personality and charm. The result is a light, cheerful kitchen that feels fresh, open, and perfectly in tune with the home’s mid-century character. Interested in transforming your space?

Holliston - Third Floor Addition

August 20, 2025
When you love your neighborhood but need more space, the smartest move isn’t always packing up and leaving, sometimes it’s building up. That’s exactly what our Holliston clients decided to do with their growing family. Rather than searching for a new home, they chose to reimagine their existing space by converting their attic into a stunning third floor master suite, complete with a walk in wardrobe and master bath. On the main floor, we gave the existing powder room a fresh look with new cabinets and wallpaper. Just off the kitchen, we added a butler’s pantry featuring sleek black cabinetry and gold hardware. This renovation gave our clients the extra room they needed without leaving the neighborhood they love. With the third-floor addition and stylish updates downstairs, their home now feels complete! Thinking about making more room in your home without moving? Whether it’s an attic conversion, an addition, or a dream kitchen, we’d love to help bring your vision to life!

Sudbury Kitchen Remodel

July 7, 2025
Green Kitchen Cabinets - The New Must-Have! Green is having a major moment in kitchen design, and for good reason. Just take a look at this stunning kitchen renovation project that we just completed in Sudbury, MA. A perfect example of how green cabinets can strike the right balance between trend-forward and timeless. Our client chose custom made sage green island cabinetry paired with crisp white quartz countertops and matte black hardware. The color feels fresh, clean, and modern without being stark. It adds personality without overpowering the rest of the design. And what really brings it together is the soft green tile backsplash echoing the island hue, layered under plenty of natural light and topped off with elegant brass fixtures and glass globe pendants. Why homeowners are leaning green? Versatility: Green pairs beautifully with neutrals, woods, brass, and even bold colors. Connection to nature: Earthy tones like sage and olive bring a calming, organic vibe indoors. Subtle drama: It’s a color choice that makes a statement, but still plays well with others. Whether you're doing a full remodel or just considering a cabinet refresh, green is a shade worth exploring. It’s bold but livable, trendy yet enduring, and in a space like the kitchen, that’s the sweet spot. Want help designing a kitchen that looks and feels just right? Let’s talk!
