This house didn’t always look like this…

Every detail that you see now, from the marble floors, lighting, wallpaper and textures was brought back to life piece by piece.

This was a renovation not a restoration. But we kept what mattered. The goal was never to make it feel new, it was to make it feel like something worth discovering.

Set in the heart of Salem, just steps from the Witch House, this home has lived many lives. We just gave it the next one.

Save this for your Salem trip.�And when you’re ready to experience it in person… you know where to find it. 🕯️

This is just the entryway…

Ornate brass switches, a crystal chandelier overhead, marble underfoot, and a front door that’s been welcoming guests for over a century.

Tucked inside Salem’s historic district, just steps from the Witch House, every corner of this home was meant to be noticed slowly.

📍 Save this for your Salem trip.�

This is one of the simplest ways to add depth and drama to a fireplace wall.

It’s not about adding more—
it’s about layering the right details.

Save this if you want to try it.

Your home deserves better than $1 plastic.
I swapped out some tired switches and wall plates for some house bling! Check the Victorian styled mother-of-pearl push buttons + brass plates, the difference is WILD.
SAVE this for your next weekend upgrade + comment SWITCH and I’ll drop the parts list.

We finally got our house history back! Historic Salem Inc. house plaques mark the lives, trades, and eras that shaped the city from ships captains, physicians, merchants, and families whose homes still anchor our streets today. A subtle reminder that every doorway has a past, and every walk through Salem is a trip in a time machine. I often try to picture what the daily grind looked like 150 or 200 years ago and what those people would think of our city today.

Let’s install a fandelier in the second floor en suite bath. In case you’re wondering a fandelier is part fan and part chandelier. Don’t worry I never heard of it either.

White is the enemy
White flattens a space and kills emotion; if you want a room to feel intentional and lived-in, you need depth, not blankness.

Color drench
When walls, trim, and ceilings share the same tone, the room stops feeling chopped up and starts feeling immersive.

Dark color adds drama
Dark hues don’t make rooms smaller—they make them richer, heavier, and more confident.

Lighting is mood
Overhead lights show the room, but layered, low lighting makes people feel something in it.

Texture is terrific
Velvet, wood, stone, faux fur —texture is what turns a color story into an experience.

New floor alert 🚨
We ripped out the old, broken and slippery porcelain tiles and replaced it with a classic black-and-white marble tile, including a beautiful Victorian border. .dimino.tile did an amazing job and everybody who steps through the front door is just in awe of the transformation.
