Over the past couple of years, we’ve been lucky enough to get an insider’s view of Provincetown through the lens of Philip Cozzi, whose family has a long history with Cape Cod’s outermost town, and his wife, Kristin Hein.
In the dining area, upholstered 1920s French chairs (acquired from Julie Hodgess Design London, where Kristin previously worked) surround a French wine-tasting table with leather top.
In the kitchen, Philip and Kristin created a warm, autumnal atmosphere with Heritage Tile’s Subway Tile in Ginger Crackle framed with wooden panels painted with Fine Paints of Europe Guggenheim Colors Eurolux Matte GO19.
A cornucopia of produce in the kitchen corner features wooden bowls crafted by Kristin’s Swedish grandfather as well as a rattan-wrapped wine bottle similar to the ones hanging from the ceilings at Ciro & Sal’s.
Over a Kohler’s Vault Sink ($649) with Hunley Faucet from Waterstone and custom cabinets made of furniture-grade birch plywood, vines and cuttings, both inside and out, create a verdant buffer between Old Homestead and its neighbors.
Counter details feature one of Kristin’s grandfather’s bowls, alongside a stack of smaller, midcentury Swedish bowls, and a lilac bottle—one of many throughout the house that were excavated from the site during the renovation.
In the opposite corner, Philip’s mother’s Russel Wright Harkerware lends sunny cheer.
Pieces of silver, inherited from Kristin’s grandparents, add a touch of glamour to the kitchen.
Philip and Kristin’s eclectic style extends to the bar area in the dining room, which hosts a revolving collection of vintage and modern glassware, art, beach finds, and other artifacts.
In the living room, built-in bench seats provide flexible seating, serving as both sofa as well as seating for large, winter dinner parties (Kristin brings a long outdoor table inside).
Old and new: a collection of Ted Muehling’s Biedermeier Candlesticks in Satin Silver rest on a wooden trunk that Kristin’s grandparents brought over from Sweden; $390 to $1,365 at the Future Perfect.
Under a gilt tole sconce from a Paris flea market rests a vintage porter’s chair from Berns Fry in Bridgehampton, New York.
The Wittus Shaker Woodstove in the front entry was the first item the Philip and Kristin purchased for their new home.
Kindling and beach stones reside in vintage water buckets.
In the bedroom, Kristin and Philip employed an intriguing mix of warm exotic and cool linen fabrics, including a Silk Scudo Saraceno Pendant from Fortuny ($2,043), vintage textiles from Indonesia, and Society Limonata Linens from ABC Carpet & Home.
A large, vintage American mirror reflects both the light and the garden view from the opposite window.
In the bathroom, Philip and Kristin repeated the same tile and shiplap pattern as the kitchen and dining room.
Waterworks’ Highgate 24-Inch Metal Hotel Rack holds a collection of towels from ABC Carpet & Home; $406.
