BDG 23rd Edition 2020

Designer Digs
When it came to the millwork of
his new house on a quiet street in
Wellesley, Peter Fallon, founder
of Fallon Custom Homes &
Renovations, went deep.
We wouldn’t expect anything less from the
custom builder with his own in-house cabinetry
and woodworking shop. When he ushered us
into his stately new build completed just last
fall, we were greeted by layers of fine cabinetry,
gleaming oak hardwoods, antiques, art and a soft
gray palette.
While Fallon can often be found in his third floor
lair, with its oversized TV and comfortable chair,
the kitchen is his favorite space in the house. He
loves the room’s symmetry, while we were taken
by its luxurious cream-colored coffered ceiling
that contrasts nicely with the rift and quartersawn
white oak floors in a Jacobean stain underfoot.

The kitchen is homey but refined, with a furniture
feel that stems from paneled appliances, the
island’s mahogany countertop and the legs of
the cabinetry. The space is emblematic of what
Fallon’s millwork shop can do—throughout a
home.
