New England Home – Bespoke Cottage

Jenny Johnson, the Emmy-winning host of NESN’s Dining Playbook and Comcast Newsmakers, and her husband, N Magazine editor and author Robert Cocuzzo, partnered with New England Home to reimagine the couple’s newly purchased cottage along Boston’s North Shore. The goal was to reinterpret the 1903 home for life in the twenty-first century, so Johnson and New England Home teamed up with an award-winning interior designer, a renowned builder, and a curated collective of local, regional, and national partners to make the family’s vision a reality without sacrificing the sought-after charm and character that defined the cottage’s original spaces.
 
Keeping the functionality of the space in mind, the home was styled in a family-friendly fashion forward approach. Universal Furniture was pleased to participate in this this special project using pieces from collections such as the Escape – Coastal Living Home, Curated and Modern which help demonstrate the range of styles and selections that are offered.

    Boston is a city that showcases the perfect fusion of old and new architecture. It is clear to anyone who has ever walked the streets of this city.

    Interestingly, people living in Boston also combine styles and elements in their homes. This direction in design is called modern classics, which means a combination of traditional classic design with modern materials.
