A dining room with a large rectangular table with a marble top, surrounded by six white upholstered chairs, two with red pillows. The room features exposed wooden beams and columns, dark hardwood flooring, and a black wood stove in the corner. In the background, there is a sideboard with a framed picture, plants, and decorative items, with windows allowing natural light to fill the room.

A post-and-beam retreat layered with love and warmth.  

To form this hidden rustic gem in Brick, New Jersey, the previous owners brought the post-and-beam structure of a 200-year-old Vermont house to the site and combined it with a new addition. The resulting home had so much soul that when the new owners, both dedicated Muay Thai fighters, came to us, we knew we had to create something special for their fierce, blended family of six daughters. Offering a retreat from their full-time residence in Bermuda, lush furnishings, rich velvets, and subdued hues soften the rough-hewn wood, creating a warm, inviting home that feels organic, feminine, and just the right amount of romantic.
