Light and Airy Home With a Playful Spirit and Durable Details
After more than six years in their Austin, Texas, home, this couple envisioned creating stylish midcentury-inspired interiors that lean heavily on natural materials and tones. With two young kids and a dog, they dreamed of having finishes that were playful and, above all, durable.
To get everything they wanted, they put together a design and remodeling team to strip back the existing home and build an addition. For the interiors, they worked with designer Jessica Nelson of Etch Design Group to incorporate natural elements like white oak kitchen cabinets and marble countertops (sealed to be kid-proof).
In the living room, classic midcentury-style furniture pieces and a matte black tile fireplace elevate the look, while a light-colored sectional sofa upholstered in performance fabric creates a kid-friendly lounge area. Elsewhere, fun details like herringbone flooring, colorful artwork and pink grasscloth wallpaper on the home office ceiling help make this an energetic, no-fuss home.
Beautiful, well done!
Another informative and well done piece by Mitchell Parker. Even when some elements aren't my style, I enjoy it so much when I can learn something.
Gorgeous! I especially covet the beautiful herringbone floors and that bar. Looks like a wine fridge on the right behind the cabinets doors. Love the black counter!
Does anyone know where the dining table is from?
outstanding......quick question ........company and model of kitchen counter chairs
Being from Indiana, I couldn’t help but notice the IU pitcher on the home bar shelf! Lovely home!
This is outstanding. I especially want the disc light fixture in the dining room ....and the black tile fireplace surround, the herringbone floors, and the bold office. OMG. I think I will copy all of your ideas. Wish you lived in Colorado. Thank you Jessica.
Can you please tell me who makes the handblown disc light fixture in the dining room? Thank you.
Love the office space.
I love that herringbone flooring and those barstools! Can you share where to find the barstools?
Nice so beautiful
So beautiful! Great job!
Question, how does the Butler’s pantry relate to the kitchen?
In the 6th photo it looks like the ceiling beam on the left is white, while the other two are stained wood. Is it a trick of the light? Because in a later photo they’re all stained wood. Just wondering…
AH...and WOW! The photos were magnets in themselves. And then the video catches the energy and verve of this youthful designer. Appealing throughout. Thanks much to all who designed the spaces, prepared the video and shared all with us!
Does anyone know where one could shop the 3 light floor lamp in the living room?
Very nice
4chrisdeco, a trick of light I think, in the next two pictures and in the video, all the beams are wood. Picture #6 the white looking beam is over the armchairs (love them!) and the other pics show a wood beam over the chairs. Beautiful home.
