ROOMS TO LOVE Pearly Whites
House of Winsor transformed a once crowded kitchen into a light-filled space for family meals and entertaining .

FROM THE DESIGNER : “ The original kitchen had low light and limited room for the family to dine . We completely changed the layout and opened the wall to the dining room for better flow and symmetry . The transformation makes this kitchen the true center of the home ; a perfect gathering space for meals and entertaining . Windows were added for increased natural light and to frame the custom brass range hood . A drafty bay window was replaced with a French door for easy access to the grill and improved space for a coffee and wine bar — a must for our clients . We chose quality materials and classic finishes for a clean look that will stand the test of time .”

WATCHING HIS UNCLE CREATE SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING on canvas in his Los Angeles art studio amazed Nick Paciorek . Fast forward thirty years later , the New Age Fauvist artist — whose popular mediums includes oils on canvas — creates brilliant works splashed with rich hues and intriguing landscapes . Paciorek ’ s large-scale paintings can be viewed in various public and private corporations around the world , including Macy ’ s , Oracle and BankRI .
Paciorek works out of the Pitcher-Goff House in Pawtucket , a historical property that he purchased in 2019 . He has since renovated the building , which he uses as his art studio , gallery and his residence . The artist ’ s style of work consists of different landscapes from coastal and seaside towns , cityscapes , mountains and winterscapes , crew racing , cafes and theaters throughout the world .
“ I ’ ve been fortunate to do what I love and bring it to people ,” says Paciorek . “ People purchase my imagery not only because they like it , but because it affected them in a positive way growing up . I ’ m taken by it , and it ’ s part of why I do this .”
Paciorek encourages individual art enthusiasts , gallery curators and interior designers alike to schedule an appointment with him at the Pitcher-Goff House to view his selection of artwork and private collection , based on the clients ’ wants and needs for a custom , personal experience .
Paciorek manifested this lifestyle for himself since he was a young child and states that he ’ s fortunate to bring vibrant works into art lovers ’ homes .
