Tides of Time
2024
In Tides of Time, Jocelyn Chiappone, principal of Digs Design Company, showcases her expertise in blending historical elegance with modern luxury. Working alongside architect John Bowes, Chiappone played a key role in restoring a stunning oceanfront estate, ensuring that its rich history was preserved while integrating contemporary comforts.
Chiappone’s approach was rooted in honoring the original architectural details while curating interiors that feel both timeless and functional. “It was important to respect the home’s past while designing for the way we live today,” she explains. This philosophy is reflected in her thoughtful selection of furnishings, materials, and color palettes, which seamlessly merge classic sophistication with modern sensibility.
One of the standout spaces in the home is the expansive living area, where Chiappone introduced a cohesive blend of textures and tones to enhance the home’s natural light and coastal views. Rich woods, soft linens, and handcrafted details bring warmth to the space while ensuring durability.
Her design for the kitchen and dining areas also demonstrates an appreciation for both elegance and practicality, incorporating bespoke cabinetry and carefully chosen fixtures that enhance the home’s charm.
This project exemplifies Digs Design Company’s mastery in creating harmonious, livable interiors that feel effortlessly curated. Chiappone’s ability to bridge historic beauty with modern function has solidified her reputation as a leading designer, making this estate a true reflection of timeless New England luxury.
