Feinmann restored the exterior of an 1885 Victorian home that had deteriorated over the years in Arlington, Massachusetts. Between fixing and improving the front and back porch, Juliet Balconies, shingles, panels, and intricate design elements, we brought back the home’s original splendor. We first focused on restoring the front and back porches by repositioning the stairs, reinforcing the brick and wood support posts, installing pressure-treated framing and mahogany decking, and fixing its existing handrails and roof structure. Feinmann then shifted attention to the house’s design details by replacing all the balusters, posts, spindles, and corbels that give the outside its ... read moreElegant Craftsman Home

Feinmann was hired to transform this traditional Craftsman home by designing a more functional kitchen for entertaining, adding a family room addition, moving and remodeling the first-floor bathroom, and finding a better solution to connect their home to their yard for ease of use. The kitchen was awkwardly separated into a long narrow room with the oven and storage, and the refrigerator in a separate room next to the bathroom, creating an unfavorable environment for entertaining, never mind function. We remodeled the kitchen by opening up the two separate spaces and relocating the full bathroom to a powder room. This ... read moreSaying Goodbye to Walls

After reconfiguring and remodeling the homeowners second floor in the Winter of 2009/2010, Feinmann was asked to return and create larger kitchen with an open dining area to entertain guests, as well as add a new half bathroom since they only had one upstairs. Specifically, must haves included ample counter space, more light, and an open space with much more function for the family of four in Arlington, MA. The once disjointed kitchen and dining room was transformed by removing the wall that once separated the kitchen from the dining room and the dining room from the sunroom. This allowed ... read moreA Soothing Oasis

After 17 years of living in their home, our clients wanted to create a master bedroom suite that included a master bathroom and a master closet that would allow for privacy, maximum storage, and natural light. Feinmann designed an exquisite master bedroom suite by using the spare bedroom and closets. The spare bedroom was converted into a master bathroom. Features of the bathroom include a dual vanity made of White Oak in a Barnwood Finish to create a warm appeal with modern style, while the counters bring an earthy brown shade consisting of Ginger Quartz Caesarstone that blend seamlessly to ... read moreMore Room to Grow

The owners of an 1880s Victorian in Arlington returned to Feinmann to reconfigure their first floor, connecting the old, small kitchen with the existing dining room. They asked for a large island with seating and a walk-in pantry as part of the renovation. The wall between the kitchen and dining room was removed to create a more open floor plan. Feinmann had previously created a new, award-winning master bathroom and family bathroom for this client. As their family continued to grow, they began planning their next big project. Additional requests included providing access to the backyard and refinishing the back ... read moreChef’s Kitchen

This Arlington family hired Feinmann to transform the small, dark, outdated kitchen in their beautiful 1870s Victorian home. The homeowners (one of them is a chef and both love to cook) asked the design team to create a sleek, modern chef’s kitchen – complete with high end cabinetry and professional-grade equipment – and do it in such a way that the contemporary kitchen would be harmonious with the rest of the home’s more traditional aesthetic. The new kitchen is light, spacious and highly functional, with generous windows and ample counter space. The design highlights the stainless steel and glossy blue ... read moreRoom to Grow

A growing family and the need for more space brought the homeowners of this Arlington house to Feinmann. As was common with Victorian homes, a shared bathroom was located centrally on the second floor. Professionals with a young family, our clients recognized the need for a master bath for themselves and a more practical family bath for the children. The design challenge for our team was how to find a way to create both a master bath and a family bath out of the existing family bath, master bath, and an adjacent closet. The solution had to consider how to ... read moreMasculine Retreat

The Feinmann design team was asked to create a modern, spacious master bathroom on the second floor of a 19th century Colonial home in the historic district of Arlington. The homeowner, the only fulltime occupant of the house, requested a scheme with a masculine aesthetic, additional storage, a high-end steam shower, and secondary laundry area. In order to create the large master bathroom he desired, the floor plan of the second story needed to be reconfigured significantly. A small bedroom area, hallway, and small bathroom became the new master bedroom area, while an adjacent small bedroom and small bathroom were ... read more
