Victorian chic in a historic landmark home

Posted on Wed, 4 Mar 2020 by KiM

Dream home alert!!! I am absolutely head over heels in love with this project by Seattle-based designer Michelle Dirkse. Victorian chic is what I would call this. “We want it to look like a haunted mansion.” Our clients’ request was one that we had never heard before and we were excited to explore it. The historic landmark home needed major work on the second floor. We completely re-developed the floorplan for the existing 6 bedroom 2 bath layout. By relocating walls with the help of a structural engineer and converting one of the bedrooms into an appropriately sized master bathroom, the new floorplan served the clients’ as they needed. With no plans to have others live in the home with them, we were able to convert 2 rooms into a large art studio with a lounge area. Another room was converted to a den, one to a dressing room and the last to the master bathroom. (The bathroom – OMGGGG!!!)

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a Saturday it helps if it’s super stylish. Office ADF by Arjaan De Feyter.

More than your everyday bathroom

A little quirky and a lot of luxury. From its checkerboard stone tiles to the weighty presence of the English bath tub, from the marble vanity to the pewter and oak tapware this little gem by Sydney-based AP Design House is more than your everyday bathroom.
