This Dedham Victorian Got a High-Gloss Glow-Up
SPRING 2026
Digs Design Company is featured in Boston Home’s spring 2026 issue in the article “This Dedham Victorian Got a High-Gloss Glow-Up,” which highlights Jocelyn Chiappone’s vibrant transformation of a historic 1870s residence overlooking the Charles River. The project reflects Digs Design Co’s signature “Digs Mix” that honors architectural heritage while infusing spaces with bold color, layered pattern, and an inviting sense of livability.
Chiappone shares in the article that the design challenge was “how to keep the historic quality while updating it with a joyful and vibrant design that feels current,” with the overarching goal “to use and love every single space.” This vision comes to life most dramatically in the now-iconic “Green Room,” where a high-gloss lacquer finish in the homeowner’s favorite hue re-energizes a once-formal living room, transforming it into a dynamic hub for gathering.
Throughout the home, Chiappone blends antiques and vintage furnishings with statement wallcoverings, confident color choices, and richly layered textiles. From whimsical patterned bedrooms to classically rooted dining spaces and cheerful family areas, each room reflects a thoughtful interplay between history and modern life. Completed in under six months, the project demonstrates Digs Design Co’s ability to deliver personality-driven interiors that feel both timeless and deeply personal—crafted not just to be admired, but truly lived in.
