Modern Colonial

Ready for a simpler way of life away from New York City, the client’s family moved to a home in the Philadelphia suburbs. To support their new lifestyle, professional music practice, and visiting family and friends, the team at Marguerite Rodgers transformed the living areas into flexible, multi-use rooms. The living room, which accommodates the family’s grand piano, also serves as the practice and performance room. Modern furnishings were selected to enhance the owners’ aesthetic, existing art collection, and love of antiques to create warm and inviting spaces throughout.
