Eloise & Matt's Colonial with Transitional Elements

This new light-filled space is a respite from the elements and a perfect transition to the interior. There’s a tile “carpet” in Tabarka’s Izmir handpainted terracotta tile from Tempest Tileroom. Given its long lead time, our sample tile was traced onto paper and photocopied repeatedly, each paper tile cut and set in place as a template so the Oak border could be installed first. Near the basement door, there’s a custom bench with shoe cubbies below and hooks for coats above. A built-in bench with plush cushions rests at the end of the way, a comfy spot to relax as you shake off the weather or worries of the day. Both were designed by Arciform and crafted by Versatile Wood Products.
