House of arches

Posted on Fri, 17 May 2024 by KiM

If you ever had a doubt as to whether or not your home needed more arched doorways, entryways or windows, this home designed by House Nine (based in London) is here to tell you that YES, YES YOUR HOME NEEDS MORE ARCHES. When you enter my foyer from the vestibule there is a set of arched stained glass doors leading to the dining room on the left and an arched doorway on the right leading into the living room. The effect is beautiful and so much softer an appealing to the eye than hard edges.

Another historic Minneapolis home

Warmth and texture abound in our Lake Harriet Historic home. An earthy palette complements the historic architecture found in the refinished oak flooring and a bright chef’s kitchen.
Another beauty with attention to detail that has me swooning by Yond Interiors. A classic kitchen that would stand the test of time, and its simplicity and functionality are perfection. Also adore the accent colours used throughout – dramatic and enveloping. Builder: Mark Williams Custom Homes; Architect: KA Designs; Photos: Taylor Hall O’Brien.

“A classic California Tudor remodelled for a young family of creatives and their many house guests. When the clients bought the house most of its character had been lost over the years. We worked hard to bring it back to a more authentic version of itself, choosing an aesthetic direction that tastefully represents their bohemian side while keeping it both timeless and relevant. The end result is a house that is warm, inviting and magical. A real embodiment of the client’s personality.”

A fabulous mix of vintage and contemporary, colour and pattern with a great outdoor area perfect for family living. 1928 California Tudor by Meghan Eisenberg.

Layers of finishes breathe fresh life into this turn-of-the century Minneapolis Victorian. Folding in earth based elements like plaster, marble countertops and natural wood create a new beginning for the historical architecture. To accommodate a growing family, we relocated the kitchen and dining room to create spaces made for hosting.
This post is all about the details. In every photo. The carved wood detail of the newel post, the fireplace tile surround, the dining room paneling, the original stained glass windows, the placement and detail of the marble in the kitchen, the tiled arch in the bathroom….

Katie Hodges Design undertook a complete renovation and furnishing of this 1940s Pacific Palisades home. The clients, a family of four, lived here for a decade before opting for renovation. The former mishmash of styles posed challenges in the floor plan. The home transformed into a harmonious blend of modern and traditional styles through meticulous reworking, expansion, and adjustments. Bespoke and vintage furnishings added the final touch, creating a cherished living space.
