“This La Cañada full house renovation received a breathtaking transformation. One step inside reveals an infusion of rich, warm tones with contemporary amenities that hold deep respect for the home’s mid century roots. A perfect space for a young modern family to grow and experience unforgettable moments together.”

A stately Victorian home in the Garden District undergoes a transformation reversing a dated renovation with stylish upgrades including fixtures from England. At the soul of this renovation project is a building in need of repair due to damages by Hurricane Ida, an inefficient chopped-up layout and neglect from prior owners. The design team proposed removing the existing non-original staircase and installing a straight stair extending to the rear, pushing it slightly back to open the living room up to the grand foyer space and dining room with two plaster archways. Before the renovation, the second floor center hall was occupied by numerous interior closets with low ceilings. The design team proposed restoring the center hall allowing for better circulation and spatial clarity. The kitchen area was expanded from the original footprint to capture a small sitting area adjacent to the main kitchen area. The primary bathroom prior to the renovation was an empty shell of a space with a freestanding tub and toilet next to the existing fireplace.
What an absolutely stunning home! If I had the chance to visit this home, I’d have ended up with heart palpitations by the time I got to that glorious front door. I am DYING over those archways in the foyer and that kitchen is so dreamy. Architect: Studio BKA; Contractor: Entablature; Photography: Jacqueline Marque; Styling: Suzonne Stirling.

As you may have noticed my taste has drifted from anything modern and contemporary to a bit more classic and traditional which is why I really love this. The joining of 2 apartments in Greenwich Village to create a wonderful space for a family with such beautiful architectural details and lots of classic elements. There are some surprise colour choices that really add drama and interest in this otherwise very white home, which I applaud. Designed by Asia Baker of A.A.Baker Design. Photos: Isabel Parra.

A serene retreat for an empty nester

Posted on Tue, 12 Nov 2024 by midcenturyjo

“This project celebrated a new chapter for the client as they entered the “empty nest” stage of life. The client wanted a place that was more serene and private, but would still accommodate and encourage frequent visits from their growing family. The home’s stunning views and landscape against the hills of Bommer Canyon, the Spanish architectural elements, timeless interior details and natural surroundings created a cohesive space that celebrates the very best of indoor-outdoor living.”

A cozy New Hampshire lakeside vacation home

Posted on Mon, 11 Nov 2024 by KiM

This is the vacation home to beat all vacation homes! This has EVERYTHING you could want – a huge stone fireplace, soaring wood ceilings, banks of windows overlooking Squam Lake with a massive window seat, a kitchen that immediately went into my inspiration folder, an expansive porch that includes a whole other area for outdoor living….
