This one isn't about the cabinetry, but after sharing the kitchen, the butler's pantry, and the dining room from this Arts & Crafts revival, we couldn't let the rest of this home go unshown.
(Don't worry. More of our work is coming. But this house deserves to be seen in full.)
So. The living room.
It started with a hand-drawn sketch by and became something closer to a time capsule than a renovation. The fireplace is zellige tile, handcrafted, irregular, luminous, anchored by an antique batchelder medallion (which started as a hand-drawn sketch) at its center. Batchelder tiles were a hallmark of the Arts & Crafts movement in the early 1900s, known for their hand-pressed relief work and earthy character. This one was created for its history as much as its beauty.
Deep forest green paneling frames every wall. botanical floral wallpaper, dense and layered, unapologetically maximalist in the very best arts & crafts tradition, climbs up to meet a coffered, warm-wood ceiling that looks like it was lifted straight from 1910 (because, yes, it was.)
Then the furnishings: a tufted leather chesterfield that has clearly seen things. A cognac leather armchair with a teal striped pillow that has absolutely no business working this well together, and yet here we are. A brass sunburst wall sconce glowing against all that wallpaper and roses on every surface, because this home commits to everything it does.
This is what happens when a designer understands not just how a room should look, but what it should feel like to live in. Every object earned its place. Every finish was chosen with intention, and the result isn't a room that looks designed; it's a room that feels lived in, collected, and deeply considered.
More rooms from this project are coming! Including the ones where our cabinetry takes center stage. Stay tuned.
