Nashville designer Lilly Taylor recently took on a major renovation of most of her home and I am loving the casual yet sophisticated feel, the thoughtful details and the mostly muted colour palette. This new look will stand the test of time and is a wonderful mix of old and new, dark and light, and 100% functional. Photos: Caroline Sharpnack.

Contrasting materials and tones add interest while maintaining a sense of calm and cohesion. The home reflects a thoughtful approach to design, where historic architecture and contemporary detailing come together seamlessly.

Set amid the sweeping Texas landscape, Heritage Ranch by Angeline & Co. redefines modern ranch living through a seamless blend of heritage and innovation. The stone-clad exterior and metal roofing evoke classic ranch architecture, while expansive windows and outdoor living spaces frame the home’s natural beauty. Inside, layers of texture—stone, wood, and soft textiles—create warmth and rhythm, anchored by a monumental fireplace. The primary suite offers a serene, spa-like retreat, while a bespoke bar and cigar room introduce moody sophistication. Children’s spaces bring color and playfulness, each crafted with lasting intention. From the resort-inspired pool to the hand-finished interiors, Heritage Ranch embodies Angeline & Co.’s signature balance of authenticity, craftsmanship, and contemporary ease.
