Reviving History and Revamping Spaces: Whalebone's July Chronicles

Smart Styling: Achieving Luxurious Looks with Budget-Friendly Fixtures

In home design, choosing the right fixtures can significantly impact both the style and the budget of your project. Consider the elegance and proportion of high-end fixtures like the Piatto Medium Pendant from Visual Comfort, which offers timeless elegance. However, if budget constraints are a concern, alternatives like the Wellfleet Pendant, also from Visual Comfort, can deliver a similar aesthetic at a more affordable price. This approach not only helps manage costs but also allows you to maintain a cohesive and luxurious design throughout your space. By carefully selecting fixtures, you can achieve the desired ambiance without compromising on style or breaking the bank.

July Lawn Care Tips: Keeping Your Grass Green and Healthy

In July, maintaining your lawn involves several key activities to ensure it remains lush and healthy throughout the summer. Ensure adequate hydration by watering in the early morning to minimize evaporation and allow deeper soil penetration. Keep the grass taller during mowing to protect roots from the hot sun and retain moisture, especially in coastal areas where salt stress is a concern. Monitor for weeds and pests, removing them promptly to prevent them from competing with your grass for nutrients. Lastly, consider planning for aeration in the early fall to improve the soil's air, water, and nutrient flow, setting the stage for a robust lawn as the seasons change.

July Highlights at Whalebone Homes: Transformations and New Beginnings

This July, Whalebone Homes is thrilled to unveil our latest project, a beautifully reimagined home in Barrington, Rhode Island. This historic residence has been meticulously redesigned with a deep commitment to preserving its character while infusing modern luxury and functionality. Our work extended beyond mere renovation; it was a labor of love that involved thoughtful redesign and careful restoration to breathe new life into this historic gem.

Additionally, this project included subdividing the property, which opens the opportunity to welcome another family to Barrington by building a new, beautiful home on the adjacent lot. This thoughtful development ensures that the charm and heritage of the community are preserved while accommodating modern family needs.

Back on Cape Cod, we're embarking on an exciting journey with a new client to raze and rebuild a stunning coastal summer estate.
