A 19th-century shingle-style cottage in Bellport, Long Island, is restored for today’s living by Michael Tomei of Michael Vincent Design.
The generous main hall provides a central connection point for the home, which seamlessly connects the sitting room and guest rooms. The 19th-century distressed pine dresser with a lime wash from FK Gallery provides the foundation for a primitive red clay lamp with rice paper shade by Wyeth.
In the sitting room, vaulted ceilings are covered in reclaimed cedar planks while 19th-century French chairs sourced from a Parisian market create an intimate gathering space around a Warren Platner table.
In the sunroom, expansive windows create the perfect backdrop for a vintage Norwegian rocking chair and coffee table. A pair of custom sofas, wrapped in Belgian linen, are anchored by a Stark area rug.
The kitchen features cabinets painted in Farrow & Ball Wimborne White to enhance the tones of the Italian calacatta viola marble countertop. Waterworks brass hardware adds a touch of elegance.
The original kitchen hearth and its charming wood-burning stove have become the central feature of the kitchen. A custom brass pot rack displays a collection of 1920s copper pots.
Up the central staircase, a private sanctuary awaits in the main bedroom suite. A Dienst + Dotter four-poster bed and an American walnut Charlotte Perriand stool add warmth and substance.
Farrow & Ball Berrington Blue grounds the dining room, while fixtures by Thomas O’Brien cast light over the 19th-century gateleg table.
The guest bathroom is outfitted with a custom Victorian wash stand with copper inlay salvaged from a nearby home. Bespoke Moroccan tile wraps the walls and floor, evoking an American quilt.
An original Dutch door, salvaged from the property, has been modernized in Farrow & Ball’s Pitch Black. A David Ebner coat rack adds a touch of whimsy.
