House to Home: Transitions
Things Chosen.
The project was unique because it was a new build, however, the family wanted to incorporate elements from their older century home. This really was about marrying the old with the new to mirror the transition, not only in living spaces, but within the family as well. The older home represented a place of early beginnings and, as many new families experience, a place of hand-me-downs and things given. The new home was more aligned with them as a family, who were stepping into who they had become and represented the future through curated pieces: things chosen.
Clean and Dramatic.
We began the process of carefully selecting the pieces from their old home that most resonated with them — past, present and future. These pieces represented their story, the history of them as a family. They let go of everything else and we worked to replace each piece with mindfulness and intention. We worked together to select each piece within alignment of their next chapter and new home.
Drama and Details.
The key aesthetic for the family was to create a spaces that felt warm and inviting. This was especially important as a busy household of two professionals and three growing kids. As a family, they loved entertaining and wanted to position themselves as welcoming to everyone. We focused on a warm, neutral palette with vibrant pops of red highlights throughout the main level, which we felt best embodied their family. The home became a mix of old and new, warm and modern, vibrancy and comfort.
“We have worked with Angela in two very different homes. One home was almost 100 years old and the other a brand new home that Angela helped us design. In both homes, we were impressed with how Angela assessed the potential for design while addressing our needs for practical living. Angela has an inherent sense of decorating and she combines this with a conscious effort to make the home feel like us. Ultimately, we have a home that we love.”
