The Edgewood House

ARCHITECT: David Muriello PHOTOGRAPHER: Sarah Crost STYLING: Brit Sartin

Set within an architecturally significant early twentieth-century home, this renovation was guided by a simple principle: every new element should feel as though it belonged to the house from the beginning.

The project included a complete reimagining of the kitchen and the renovation of two bathrooms, carefully balancing modern function with the home's original character. Rich walnut cabinetry, hand-glazed tile, natural stone, and unlacquered brass were selected for their warmth, craftsmanship, and ability to age gracefully alongside the historic architecture. Throughout, handmade materials introduce depth, variation, and a sense of permanence that feels true to the home's era while supporting contemporary living.

Rather than replicate historic details, we looked to the home's existing millwork, proportions, and material palette as a guide. The result is a collection of spaces that feel deeply integrated with the architecture—thoughtfully updated, highly functional, and seamlessly connected to the story of the house.

From the walnut-clad kitchen with its handcrafted tile backdrop to the richly layered bathrooms, every detail was designed to honor the home's legacy while creating spaces that feel relevant for the way the family lives today.
