This newly built Old Mission style home gave little in concessions in regards to historical accuracies. To create a usable space for the family, Obelisk Home provided finish work and furnishings but in needed to keep with the feeling of the home. The coffee tables bunched together allow flexibility and hard surfaces for the girls to play games on. New paint in historical sage, window treatments in crushed velvet with hand-forged rods, leather swivel chairs to allow “bird watching” and conversation, clean lined sofa, rug and classic carved chairs in a heavy tapestry to bring out the love of the American Indian style and tradition.

At the start of the project, the clients proposed an interesting programmatic requirement; design a home that is comfortable enough for a husband and wife to live in, while being large enough for the entire extended family to gather at. The result is a traditional old world style home that is centered around a large great room ideal for hosting family gatherings during the holidays and weekends alike. A 9′ by 16′ pocketing sliding door opens the great room up to the back patio and the views of the Edna Valley foothills beyond. With 14 grandchildren in the family, a fully outfitted game room was a must, along with a home gym and office. The combination of large living spaces and private rooms make this home the ideal large family retreat.

Built-in media center in large alcove space. Custom painted with granite counter. Replaced existing cabinetry that wasn't designed for modern TV's.

Stark carpet provides the wool carpet anchoring the room, while Councill Crafstman chests flank the fireplace produced by Franchois and Company. The fireplace projects beyond the customary with a limestone-covered wall, built out to emphasize the fireplace with the over-mantle niche made to fit the TV. Sumptuous Baker chairs were repurposed from the previous home with Jessica Charles swivel chairs and a Hickory Chair sofa completing the seating. Raw silk Schumacher fabric with a subtle panel adorn the windows. Designed by Melodie Durham of Durham Designs & Consulting, LLC.
