Colonial home filled with charming niches

Jun 27, 2011 |

Built almost two centuries ago, the Colonial house with a peaked gable roof line once dominated an extensive farm in the Silvermine area of New Canaan. Remodeled over the years, the now more than 4,900-square-foot home was most recently refurbished in 2005, when a new 2,000 square-foot wing was added to the rear, leaving the front facade looking much as it did in 1814.

The entry portico with a sky-blue beadboard ceiling is supported by crisp Corinthian columns, and two large singular slabs of granite lead to the front steps. Unusually wide pilasters decorate the front facade.

What was once a Victorian porch has been added to the living room with a fireplace, with an adjoining bread-baking oven, covered in a curving metal plaque. Niches above the fireplace hold large decorative vases, for now.

The library to the left has rosette-topped pilasters around the banks of bookshelves, and a nearby office has a tile floor.

The capacious dining room has high paneled wainscoting, topped with a plate rail, a boxed, beamed ceiling, an early corner cabinet and a long window seat.

Questions & Answers

How do you clean a brick fireplace hearth?

Feb 04, 9984 by Teresa
We have a brick hearth on our fireplace.I have used hot soapy water and a brush to clean it in the past but it still doesn't look clean.It still has a greyish look to it from ashes.The brick are redish brown.The wall that the fireplace is on is entirely brick and the hearth looks like it doesn't even match the wall even though it is the same brick.How do I get the hearth clean?
I wouldn't use muriatic acid here. That's not its appropriate use. If all else fails, try trisodium phosphate. It's sold in hardware stores as TSP. Follow the use and safety instructions on the label. It will clean the brick and help restore some of the original color.

How to set tile on raised fireplace hearth?

Dec 12, 2008 by Skinny
I will be tiling a raised fireplace hearth (ceramic tile). How should I arrange the tiles that meet at the edge? Should the horizontal and vertical tiles meet edge to edge, then grout in between? Or, should one of the tiles overlap the other one on the edge? Or....is there a different way to do it all together, like putting in those curved tiles on the edge? Thanks for your help.
I ll help you again skinny.. The horizontal tile should over lap the vertical ones if the tile doesn t have a SBN, ( surface bull nose) One other way to "trim it out is to put a "L" piece of metal that covers the edge. Available any where you buy tile. Most common name out there is called Schulter Metals.They come is several colors like aluminum, bronze and silver. There are plastic versions of these too that come white, black and others.E mail me again skinny if you have more questions. GL
