One approach (of several) would be to use a Sipura spa2000 or
spa3000 and attach all of your existing house phones to the
fxs port(s). If the spa3000, then it would provide the fxo
interface to your pstn line as well.

If you still want a fancy looking multiline phone, consider
the cisco 7960 or polycomm models.
