My Sweeten Story  | Sweeten homeowner Katy

A house flood sets off a new start

Sometimes you can spin a disaster into an opportunity. That’s what happened with Hildreth Place, our house in the Hamptons. We used a devastating flood as a prompt to create a happy, modern home where family and friends can meet. 

Hildreth Place has been in the Garry family for more than 40 years, and my husband and I have owned it for 10. The house is in Hampton Bays, New York, 50 yards from Meschutt Beach, where families gather to swim in the bay and live music plays every night at Tiki Joes. The house was originally built in 1970, in a traditional Cape style. We have long used it with family, shared it with friends, and also rented it.

Two years ago, a pipe froze and burst. After discovering eight feet of water in our basement, we decided to go down to the bones and renovate. Our goals were to make the home more efficient from both energy and maintenance standpoints, all while turning it into something beautiful that our family and friends can enjoy.

 A new chapter for a family home

Cara Boyce of Red Wagon Design partnered with me on the interior design and helped me reimagine the home. We planned to revise the façade, giving it the relaxed appearance of a modern farmhouse, and use the interior redesign to solve problems and increase our living space. With Sweeten’s help, we found the perfect contractor to help us with our Hampton Bays home renovation. He worked on time and within budget, keeping cost savings in mind and brainstorming solutions to construction challenges. The house had a few!

Hildreth Place has endured quite a bit, and we needed to prepare it for the future. The house has been standing 50 years, and is close to the beach and exposed to the elements, so our biggest investment was on exterior improvements. The materials needed to withstand the environment. We installed James Hardie clapboard on the exterior, invested in a fiberglass front door, and chose fiberglass casement windows rather than old-school wood. 

A garage bay turns into a lounge space 

One of the biggest interior changes we made in modernizing was on the home’s ground floor. The first floor was very traditional for a beach house, and the formal dining room, which was in the front of the house, wasn’t practical for entertaining.

By raising the roofline, we were able to add about 200 square feet upstairs, creating space for a center hallway.

We decided to create an open floor plan that connected the kitchen to a walk-through dining room and then to a new inside-outside room we carved out by stealing just under 300 square feet from the garage. This “garage room,” which opens to the back via an industrial-style roller door, lets the indoor space flow to the outdoors, and is an ideal casual gathering spot for coming off the beach.

On the second floor, there was another flow blockage to overcome: We had four bedrooms, including a big dormer for the kids, but the only way to access that bunk room was through one of the other bedrooms. It was an awkward layout for children trying to find the bathroom at night. By raising the roofline, we were able to add about 200 square feet upstairs, creating space for a center hallway. The resectioning also found us space for a master bathroom, a nice bonus.

 Personalizing with color and art

Seeing my murals and paintings transform the house has been incredible. The master bedroom got a bold, black-and-white brush-stroke mural. I love it! I have a moody painting tucked between the shelves in the master bath and oceany pieces in all the first-floor rooms. A guest room with a bright bamboo theme features a hand-painted ceiling by me and is inspired by colors that I’ve been gravitating to—the combination of orange, hot pink, and red makes me happy.

Down on the first floor in the powder room, we added wallpaper—this Dorothy Draper look was a dream of mine. The lush green print and chartreuse ceiling color is the kind of pairing that inspires me as an artist. Such a surprise when you open the door! I always recommend spending money on things that give the most bang for the buck. I told my husband that the splurgy wallpaper was more important than running water.

Many of the room designs in the house are inspired by my paintings, as I really wanted to bring their joy into our home. One of the best examples of that is the “goldfish bathroom,” which is bathed in a dappling of water-blue penny tile and features several playful fish paintings. 

Natural elements soften

Throughout the house, we also chose simple items to offset the highly visible ones.  We went with pre-painted cabinetry in the kitchen, and the same hardwood floors as in other rooms. The lights are modern loft pendants, clean in matte white.

I’m intimidated by the process of picking out kitchen appliances, so I let my mother-in-law—a holiday-entertaining superwoman—choose; she picked a single oven with the largest cubic heating space she could find. The living room fireplace mantel is made of a rustic, hewn-wood beam.

With Sweeten’s help, we renovated and built a home that has exceeded our expectations. Hildreth Place makes me so proud. We took a tragedy and turned it into a house that makes you feel like you are on vacation the moment you walk in.

Thank you for sharing your Hampton Bays beach house renovation with us, Katy!

HOUSE TOUR: The 45th Annual Calvary Tour in Summit

A collaboration in support of a great cause, the Calvary House Tour, proudly sponsored by Lois Schneider Realtor will showcase five stunning Summit homes with distinctive interiors and lush gardens Thursday, May 4, 10-3pm offering visitors the opportunity to tour spaces by top design talents while raising funds for worthy outreach efforts of the Woman of Calvary Episcopal Church. Recipients that have received support from the House Tour include Apostles House and its associated Food Bank for homeless women and children, St. Philip’s Academy of Newark, Family Promise and The Good Shepherd Home for orphans in Cameroon, Africa.

In anticipation of the tour, we checked in with a few of the designers involved and were able to get a sneak peek of a very special custom home featured on the tour. Designed and built by Brandes Maselli Architects in Bernardsville, the house was inspired by 17th century french manors. Having previously built two homes, the owners had a clear vision for their dream project and when two older homes on a corner lot came on the market they knew the adjoining lots were perfect for their vision. According to architect Michael Brandes, “We chose to angle the house differently than the rest of the homes on the street so that it would appear the residence was built before the others on the street”. This also allowed the architect to create a large yard which was one of the main requests by the owners - a couple with three young children. Characteristic of french manors, the architect used stone, hand-hewn beams, copper, and hand split roof shingles.

Marisa Lafiosca of ML Interior Designs and Heidi Piron of Heidi Piron Design & Cabinetry completed the spectacular design team on this project. “The owners envisioned a country home with a European feel, sophisticated but not fussy or formal, and able to accommodate their young family,” said interior designer Lafiosca. “What makes this home special is that it’s not the predictable, traditional home.”

Designer Heidi Piron achieves an authentic period feel in the kitchen with the thoughtful combination of refined and rustic features, and a Francois & Co. pewter and limestone hood creates a stunning focal point. Several old world artistic finishes were used and the natural imperfections of the finishing details add an extra layer of detail, depth and legitimacy. The custom cabinetry reveals a delicate hand-brush stroke instead of a sprayed-on finish; a storage hutch was built with hand-hewn fumed oak cabinetry and the antique mirror was used on the doors; undulated walnut was used for the island countertop; and watery grey quartize stone countertops are complimented by hand-made backsplash tile. “I envisioned that you could see old-world artisans taking pride in creating this kitchen”, said Piron.         

The vision is continued with the butler’s pantry where as a backdrop to a stunning hand casted bronze apron sink, Piron designed an arch with herringbone marble tile and walnut floating shelves. Mother of pearl hardware and brass edged shelves behind beveled glass complete the look.

Piron used reclaimed wood for the vanity and matching mirror to create the look of an antique table.

Lafiosca added period details - an arched stone entry with double sided fireplace and reclaimed barn wood for the ceiling and mantle - to create warmth and sophistication in the family room.

Lafiosca chose wide plank oak flooring in a herringbone pattern for the living and dining rooms.

The beautiful master bedroom suite is a peaceful oasis with its muted palette and luxurious details. A dressing room features floor to ceiling closets with beveled mirror fronts, large center island, glamorous vanity, and sparkling chandelier. Placed in a separate alcove, a soaking tub with nickel surround is the bathroom’s centerpiece. Lafiosca chose a grey and white floral grass cloth for the alcove which perfectly compliments the calcutta marble flooring and tile throughout.

Lafiosca created a showstopper recreation room with wine cellar, bar with tap, and billiard room. The designer enclosed the wine cellar with dramatic glass and metal doors; used reclaimed barn wood shiplap on the walls; and installed floor to ceiling metal racks to display the owner’s wine collection.

A driftwood finish was used on the bar cabinetry which is complimented with oil rubbed bronze accents, copper countertops and industrial lighting. Texture was added to the billiard room walls with a chunky grass cloth.

To tour this spectacular home and four others: tickets for the House Tour may be purchased in advance online for $40.00 here. The deadline for online purchases is noon on Friday, April 28th. Tickets may also be purchased at the following Summit businesses: Paperfolio - 4 Beechwood Road;  Lois Schneider Realtor - 431 Springfield Avenue;  Hawthorne - 44 Maple Street.  Tickets may be purchased on the day of the tour in the driveway of Calvary Episcopal Church for $45.00.
