“I’m not really a purist, but I wanted to honor the age and uniqueness of the house,” Becki said. “And really, the house sort of led us along the way. We just had to listen.” The front door opens to a large, open floor plan with high ceilings; unique, original pocket doors; and warm wooden floors.

Tall wooden cabinets stretch to the ceiling, coated with a cool Benjamin Moore Fieldstone Gray and adorned with a farmhouse style “X,” a thoughtful detail imple- mented by woodworker Thad Frisch.
