She came to me with two young children, a beautiful Uptown home with soaring ceilings and a clear wish: color, joy and rooms where her little family could truly feel at home.
She was ready for a fresh start, and for a house that finally felt like hers.
THE SCOPE
Color and furnishings across the living room, hallway, breakfast nook and den · Built with Esplanade Construction
THE CEILINGS
The high ceilings were a gift. Bold color on every wall would have felt heavy in the smaller rooms, so I went up. Painting the ceilings in rich, unexpected tones makes each room feel taller and warmer without overwhelming it. It sounds surprising until you see it.
THE FIREPLACE
The fireplace anchors the living room, with a statement mirror, fresh flowers and rust-colored chairs that make you want to sit down and stay a while.
THE HALLWAY
Wallpaper turns a forgotten pass-through into a moment worth pausing at.
THE BREAKFAST NOOK
A small corner became the happiest spot in the house: bright, warm and made for two little kids who deserve a place that feels like pure joy every morning.
THE DEN
A blue sectional and a brass sputnik chandelier, with the same green trim that runs through the breakfast nook.
THE RESULT
More than color: a family feeling at home again, on their own terms.
