A joyful Georgian home

Posted on Thu, 2 Oct 2025 by midcenturyjo

Elizabeth Hay Design reimagined a Grade II listed Georgian country house to feel both traditional and joyful. Instead of major structural work, the focus was on creating atmosphere through soft furnishings and a cheerful kitchen in buttery yellow, redand green. Asian art and antique textiles from Liberty were woven into the design, bringing depth and individuality. Flexible seating areas make the rooms feel cosy when used quietly, yet just as welcoming when filled with family or friends, ensuring warmth and versatility throughout.

Though you wouldn’t know it, this Chicago suburbs home was a completely new build. It honors classical design principles and timeless traditional architecture while embracing a colorful, livable spirit. Formal elements—columns, moldings, a sweeping stair, and a grand two-story library—are paired with bold palettes, playful patterns, and antique furnishings to create rooms that feel both historic and fresh. The result is a home that balances proportion and permanence with warmth, wit, and modern comfort, standing as a testament to Chicago architecture and design.
I love the contradiction of formal and whimsical elements in this house. Serious, but nah, just kidding. Design: Summer Thornton; Photos: Thomas Loof; Architecture: Heidi Lightner Architects

CM G1 House, a contemporary reinterpretation of a 1960s Laurel Canyon residence, emerged from a collaboration between Ome Dezin and furniture and spatial designer Willett. Drawing on the site’s natural setting, the team chose materials with purpose, warm Douglas fir to celebrate the home’s mid-century heritage, deep green and brown marbles for earthy depth and grounding black flagstone to craft an organic yet sophisticated palette throughout the interiors.
