Classic Meets Contemporary: Warm Woods, Rich Blues & Refined Details

For over a decade, we’ve had the privilege of working with this client, guiding her through the evolution of her style and helping her shape a home that is both beautiful and deeply personal. This latest project is a testament to that journey—a seamless blend of classic elegance and modern sophistication, carefully curated to reflect her refined taste and the way her home has grown alongside her. From the beginning, our collaboration has been about more than just aesthetics; it’s been about creating a space that feels right at every stage of her life. Early on, her preferences leaned more traditional, with warm woods, timeless architectural details, and classic color palettes. Over the years, as her style shifted toward a cleaner, more contemporary look, we worked together to find a balance—honoring the foundation of her home while introducing fresh, modern elements that feel both current and enduring. In this latest phase, the kitchen, dining, and powder room were the focus, each space telling a cohesive story of how old and new can exist in perfect harmony. The kitchen, a true heart of the home, strikes the ideal balance between tradition and modernity. Crisp white cabinetry keeps the space light and timeless, while the deep navy island anchors the room, adding richness and depth. The warmth of natural wood—seen in the custom range hood and seating—infuses the space with an inviting, organic touch. Thoughtful details, like the soft veining of the quartz countertops and the subtle texture of the marble backsplash, add a layer of quiet sophistication. Just beyond the kitchen, the dining area is a stunning example of the home’s evolved elegance. Built-in navy cabinetry provides both function and visual weight, framing the space with a sense of intentionality. A breathtaking chandelier, with its delicate glass elements, adds a moment of glamour while still feeling light and airy. The combination of sleek, modern dining chairs and a warm wooden table encapsulates the balance we’ve worked toward for years—classic yet fresh, refined yet livable. In the powder room, a touch of whimsy comes into play. The client has always loved elements of personality in small spaces, and the playful dog-print wallpaper does just that. Set against the backdrop of a soft blue, the hand-drawn illustrations bring a sense of charm and unexpected delight. The arched mirror, matte black accents, and natural wood vanity ground the space, ensuring it feels cohesive with the rest of the home’s refined aesthetic. What makes this project so special is not just the transformation itself, but the journey we’ve taken together. Over the years, we’ve helped this client discover what she truly loves—refining and evolving her style while ensuring her home always feels like her. With every phase of design, we’ve built upon a foundation of trust, collaboration, and a shared vision. The result is a home that is not only beautiful but deeply personal, a reflection of her story, her growth, and her love for the space she calls home.

The Bold Color Project

The modern elegance of this home was immediately apparent from the outset, thanks to the exquisite architectural details and carefully curated existing pieces. We wholeheartedly embraced this theme, beginning in the open-concept family room where we drew inspiration from the captivating plum accent wall. To accentuate the grandeur of the 12-foot ceilings, we strategically positioned the drapery panels above the windows, introduced motorized Hunter Douglas Silhouettes, and incorporated tasteful touches of purple and gold throughout the space. The family room seamlessly transitions into the gold, cream, and silver living room, which exudes a sophisticated charm.

The Tree House Project

Introducing the exquisite Tree House project, a hidden gem nestled amidst the enchanting woods. This remarkable home boasts a deck off the primary suite that elevates the sensation of being immersed in nature's embrace. The primary suite underwent a captivating renovation, encompassing a spacious sitting room, a cozy laundry area, a luxurious bathroom, an expansive closet, and a captivating bedroom. The primary bathroom dazzles with an exquisite tone-on-tone scheme, where an artful interplay of textures adds intrigue without introducing vibrant hues.

The Lake House Project

Nestled on the serene banks of a tranquil lake, The Lake House is a testament to the harmonious interplay between architecture and nature. Its graceful design draws inspiration from the very waters it overlooks, incorporating the endless blues, soothing greens, and organic earth tones that shimmer across the lake's surface. The house stands like a gallery of natural art, boasting a palette influenced by driftwood and nature's unspoiled beauty. It captures the ephemeral essence of summer with an interior that remains light, bright, and cheerful even amidst the chill of winter, thanks to colors that are light and muted—though never dull.
