The grandeur of the Victorian era meets contemporary style in this New York home that finds its identity through the combination of history, luxury and comfort

PRODUCING perfection

Emmy Award-winning producer J.B. Miller and his wife Maggie had always dreamed of owning a beautiful Victorian home, and their wish was fulfilled when they came across a stunning property built in 1888, located in the charming village of Larchmont, just north of New York City. The bold, welcoming, and family-friendly home needed a bit of a refresh so the couple turned to Crystal Sinclair Designs, a full-service interior design firm, to execute their vision.

'We began work at the beginning of 2022 and wrapped up the main floor in October,' says Crystal. 'We're still renovating the basement, where we're installing a fun play gym as well as an office. Overall, the project ran pretty smoothly despite the tight, movein deadline, as we needed to have the kitchen complete for the couple to move in by early June - we also had 80% of the furniture delivered and installed before that time too!' 

Crystal was inspired by the idea of combining an old-world charm with modern elements, which is reflected in the interior design style of the home. Classic furniture pieces are mixed with stylish chrome accents to create a contrast that exudes both sophistication and modernity.
