Appliances: Bertazzoni Heritage Series Induction Range, Fisher & Paykel 18″ Integrated Freezer and 30″ Integrated Fridge, Bosch 800 Series Panel-Ready Dishwasher in the kitchen, and Smeg Panel-Ready Dishwasher in the pantry.
Lighting: Vintage custard bowl sconces, vintage French industrial pendants, and a DeVOL Small Wide Pleat Porcelain light.
Furniture: Vintage stools at the island, vintage armoire in the butler’s pantry. “Instead of custom-making a pantry cabinet, we just found a big beautiful freestanding armoire that really lent more authenticity to the space,” Jamie says.
Most insane splurge: Jamie spent a lot of money on the custom millwork, from the cabinetry to the wainscoting, as well as on the new windows and French doors. Stripping the original carved wood doors was also a big expense.
Sneakiest save: Most of the lighting is vintage, which tends to be significantly cheaper than contemporary fixtures.
The best part: “In the pantry, where the green corner hits the gold corner and it shows the multiple profiles—I just love that the client was game for that,” shares Jamie. “As a designer, not everyone’s willing to give you that rope. And she was like, ‘Let’s do it. It’s going to be amazing.’ There was a lot of trust there.”
What I’d never do again: “These doors that we put in the kitchen, they’re beautiful,” says Jamie. “They’re exactly what we all wanted. But we didn’t realize that recreating the finger joints to match all of the other doors in the house was going to be a nightmare for the hardware. We couldn’t put in a mortise lock and we didn’t know it until it was way too late. Finding a proper lock set was a nightmare.”
Final bill: “I don’t even know what the final amount was, to be honest,” Jamie admits. “We didn’t even add it up, but along the way, I wasn’t showing things that I knew were outside of their comfort levels.”
