Soft muted colors are paired with mixed metallics to create a casual elegance in this Southern home. Various wood tones & finishes provide an eclectic touch to the spaces. Luxurious custom draperies add classic charm by beautifully framing the rooms. A combination of accessories, custom arrangements & original art bring an authentic uniqueness to the overall design. Pops of vibrant hot pink add a modern twist to the otherwise subtle color scheme of neutrals & airy blue tones.

Left of the home's entry is this elegant dining room. As if lit by candle light, you could say this room is "dipped in gold" Your eye is drawn in by the intriguing grasscloth wallpaper with an asian inspired pattern, hand silk screened in a soft gold metallic. Additionally gold, tone on tone stripe silk drapery, and the upswept arms of the brass chandelier accentuating the high ceilings. Warm and inviting, this dining room is not left to holidays only, but is well used "just because".
While this new home had an architecturally striking exterior, the home’s interior fell short in terms of true functionality and overall style. The most critical element in this renovation was the kitchen and dining area, which needed careful attention to bring it to the level that suited the home and the homeowners.
As a graduate of Culinary Institute of America, our client wanted a kitchen that “feels like a restaurant, with the warmth of a home kitchen,” where guests can gather over great food, great wine, and truly feel comfortable in the open concept home. Although it follows a typical chef’s galley layout, the unique design solutions and unusual materials set it apart from the typical kitchen design.
Polished countertops, laminated and stainless cabinets fronts, and professional appliances are complemented by the introduction of wood, glass, and blackened metal – materials introduced in the overall design of the house. Unique features include a wall clad in walnut for dangling heavy pots and utensils; a floating, sculptural walnut countertop piece housing an herb garden; an open pantry that serves as a coffee bar and wine station; and a hanging chalkboard that hides a water heater closet and features different coffee offerings available to guests.
The dining area addition, enclosed by windows, continues to vivify the organic elements and brings in ample natural light, enhancing the darker finishes and creating additional warmth.

This dining room makes an impression from top to bottom – starting with the copper-painted metallic ceiling and mural of a weeping cherry tree with starling birds. A metallic silver-champagne trim accents the dark walnut stain of the hardwoods and the sheer graphic print ivory and copper window treatments and roman shades.
Stained French doors and an ebonized French china cabinet circa 1880 frame a custom round dining table; the brass and nickel drapery hardware reflect the transitional chandelier of brushed nickel. A custom wool rug with gold and copper tone on tone echo the colors in the transitional, tufted back metallic copper leather dining chairs.
This square dining room’s round table makes it ideal for conversation, inviting guests to linger in its ample chairs. The many textures and contrast of deep cooper and ivory patterns create quite an effect in the room’s windows.
