THE RESTORATION TEAM REPLICATED THE INTERIORS’ 12-INCH PLASTER CROWN MOLDINGS TO SUSTAIN A SENSE OF TRADITION AND DRAMA. Designer Joanna Goodman worked with the Ferrell family to improve the flow of their home and restore original details. A breakfast room with a custom banquette makes morning-time meals—or impromptu entertaining—a cinch. In the kitchen, custom-designed fixtures from lighting to a zinc hood complement the home’s original character. There’s also new perspective: You can see into the rest of the first-floor living spaces, as well as out into the front and side yards— all from the kitchen. One particularly beautiful result of the renovation was newfound storage solutions. In this sunny office area, built-in bookcases leave plenty of room for a library. Some people sort their volumes by theme, but here, color…

An intricately carved front door from India sets the tone for a home imbued with craftsman design and salvage details. Coffered ceilings and gentle archways keep the space airy while simultaneously softening the open-concept interiors. For the color scheme, designer Cindy Bargainier drew inspiration from the hues of a lakeside sunset, pulling in the blues and greens of the nearby water and complementing them with hints of orange and yellow. The combination of new and heirloom elements makes the space feel polished and livable. With the living room opening onto a bright sunroom at the front of the house, a tufted teal loveseat and armchairs the color of pink sand create an open and inviting space for small groups to gather. AN INSPIRATION PICTURE OF A KITCHEN SERVED AS THE…

A NEW HOME TOOK ON FAMILIAR APPEAL THROUGH THE CAREFUL ARRANGEMENT OF FAMILY PORTRAITS AND HEIRLOOMQUALITY PIECES. Using soft tones, designer Lisa Gabrielson gracefully blended a range of colors. She upholstered the tufted sofa in blue linen herringbone, while red pinstripes covered the wingback chairs. The muted hues left room for a bolder teal in the velvet cushions on the French cane chairs. To bring consistency to the design in the living and dining rooms, Lisa used light Turkish Oushak rugs. She found the antique dining chairs at a local consignment shop and slipcovered them in aqua linen with tailored pleats. Framed nineteenth-century botanicals reflect the homeowners’ love of nature, while neutral stripes on the walls add a modern accent to the older elements used throughout. For a sunroom that…

From the moment Emily Larkin of Dallas-based EJ Interiors met the Davidsons, she knew their home didn’t match the couple’s vivacious personalities. “The house was extremely dark, very traditional, and the window treatments, furnishings, fabrics, and paint colors were worn and out of style,” Emily recalls. “Their home was missing the welcoming, up-to-date look it deserved.” The designer started with color. “Since blue almost acts as a neutral, it’s a great way to ‘introduce’ color to clients who aren’t used to a lot of it.” Emily chose to keep some of the family’s pieces—such as brilliant handed-down antique rugs—to add history and character to the spacious home. “We then juxtaposed these traditional pieces with more modern and glitzy elements like the lucite coffee table and dramatic metallic rope mirror to…

This airy home near the water has the openness of a casual California farmhouse with an upscale French flair. The cozy sunporch adjoins the dining room and the kitchen in one large, sweeping space that is ideal for entertaining family and friends. While on a trip to Dahlonega, Georgia, the Cortes family discovered an artist who does paintings on wood. They commissioned him to create a pair of sunflower-bedecked panels that perfectly conceal a big-screen television when it’s not in use. Designer Anita Rankin put together a quiet master suite tucked away from the heart of the home and filled with marvelous window light. Sumptuous white bed linens and a simple composition of furnishings create a most relaxing vibe. An antique table displays favorite books and family photographs, and a…

Nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains on Lake Guntersville, this charming house serves as a home away from home and a reprieve from daily life. Scenic views surround the home, so designer Beverly Farrington utilized Mother Nature's hues to form the color palette of earth tones, greens, and blues. On the main floor, a neutral backdrop allows the lake vista to take center stage in the space. Various textures and posh fabrics layered throughout the living room introduce an upscale feel, while casual arrangements made with flowers and greenery gathered from the grounds add cheery pops of color paired with the warm hospitality. The influence of moss and meadow can be found in the tones of the dining room. Clean lines and quality materials keep the overall look…

“The dining room is where ‘family’ really happens,” designer Cindy Bargainier says of this treasured space. She worked with homeowners Aaron and Jennifer Millage to create an elegant-yet-functional room. A rustic farm table anchored the design, while stately chairs preserved a more formal tone. Artist Marilyn Heard painted the walls in a muted forest motif, creating a classic landscape scene just lighthearted enough for the Millage children to imagine woodland animals playing behind the twodimensional trees. One room easily flows into the next in this rambler. To unify the décor, Aaron and Jennifer maintained the same warm neutral tones on the walls and moldings throughout the home, while splashes of color in the furniture added fresh points of interest. Cindy recalls the first addition: a custom wingback chair from her…

The Pearson family chose the firm A Well Dressed Home to ensure their Texas abode would reflect their personal style. “What inspired us the most was the home itself,” say designers Emily Hewett and Allison Walker. “It exudes a traditional charm that we knew we wanted to carry throughout.” The homeowners’ wish list included ample, durable seating for their high-traffic living room and their designers’ signature light, bright fabrics. Neutral tones enhance the room, while custom pillows and pops of black and brass add perfect doses of preppy and modern style. A mix of patterns and prints helps keep the overall look approachable and interesting. IN A SOPHISTICATED PALETTE OF NEUTRAL HUES, TEXTURE AND PATTERN WORK IN HARMONY FOR A LIVING SPACE THAT EXUDES A CLASSIC YET CONTEMPORARY FEEL. Located…
