Early in the design process, Diane had considered a dropped ceiling over the kitchen to distinguish it from the living/dining area. “Our builder Trevor said he liked the feel of the interior space and advised against it,” reveals Diane. “We’re so glad he did!” He also made other small suggestions, including the stepped trim around the door frames. A piece of the original boxcar was salvaged by Diane’s son and daughter-in-law and turned into a key rack hanging by the main door.
The ceilings were kept and shiplap added to the walls, both painted Benjamin Moore ‘Winter White.’ The existing floors were replaced with reclaimed long-leaf pine flooring that had “the same tone and feel” as what was there before, says architect Camille Jobe. A DellaRobbia sofa sits with vintage leather chairs from 1st Dibs, Croft House side tables, and a custom coffee table designed in collaboration between JCA and Jobe Fabrications.
