Inspiration for a timeless open concept kitchen remodel in Atlanta with beaded inset cabinets and two islands

Danish Modern is one of the several types of Modern design style. Popularized in Denmark from the 1940s-1970s, Danish modern furniture design was a collaboration between the principles of modern architecture and the high-quality cabinetmaking for which the Danes were known. Simple, elegant, airy, and featuring clean, sweeping lines, the furnishings are inherently warm and beautiful. This open dining room is a collection of vintage Danish modern furniture dating from the early 1970s. The authentic pieces were located at different auction houses and specialty consigners around the country to create a cohesive look the homeowners were seeking. The solid teak sideboard features a lighted upper display cabinet (removable) showcasing the homeowners’ collection of art including Nambé, Murano, Vietri sul Mare, and Blenko. The lower cabinet consists of two sliding doors on either end offering plentiful storage. In between are a bank of five felt-lined drawers for items such as silverware, trays and linens. With graceful rounded corners and rich, warm teak woodgrain, the dining room table is a perfect match to the sideboard. Two leaves tightly drop in and enable expansion with seating capacity for 14 people. Mixing up dining chairs adds interest and variety. The curvaceous and timeless Arne Jacobsen (the Danish designer) Series 7 chair in black is the perfect pairing for this dynamic design. Crowning the space is the airy, translucent classic Nelson bubble lamp, keeping in line with the Modernist theme.

This French Country–inspired kitchen was designed to complement the romantic character of a Tudor Revival cottage near Missionary Ridge. Blending historic charm with modern function, the space feels both curated and timeless. At its center, a dark-stained maple island anchors the room with depth and elegance. A striking black Ilve professional gas range brings a touch of classic European craftsmanship, paired beautifully with Shadow Storm quartzite countertops and a French casement push-out window that invites in natural light. A pair of French doors salvaged from Normandy, collected at auction, serve as a key architectural element. The home’s antique windows were reglazed and updated with new hardware, preserving their vintage character. Original wood floors were restored, and a walk-in hidden pantry was seamlessly integrated for added function without disrupting the historical feel. The result is a richly layered, functional kitchen that brings together old-world elegance and modern craftsmanship in perfect harmony.

Trendy kids' room photo in Los Angeles

The client, a young woman working in tech, grew up living abroad in various places as a State Department kid. She picked up items along the way which she wanted to incorporate into the design – the most prominent pieces were the wool rug and crewel embroidered wallhanging in the Guest Room, both of which she found when living in Pakistan. Her parents now live in France and her grandparents live in Germany, so her more recent finds have been from family visits (for example, German ceramics as seen in the kitchen). When they began discussing a design scheme, the client sent Tara a Pinterest board that prominently featured Dawnridge, Tony Duquette’s home in Beverly Hills. Little did the client know that that happens to be one of Tara’s favorite sources of inspiration. Since Tony Duquette was a master at mixing and matching antiques from different places and periods, his work was a natural North Star for this project. The Chinese Art Deco carpet was the perfect “something old” to ground the space and aesthetically, it reminded Tara of the Eastern influences seen throughout Dawnridge. Since the kitchen, dining area, and living room are all collected, Tara had the built-in shelving painted to match the cabinets. Then, the shelves were lined with Roger Arlington wallpaper inspired by Chinese 18th century tea paper, the pewter paper used to line tea chests sent from China. There wasn’t quite the space for grand curtains like those Duquette found at the Paris Flea and hung in the Drawing Room, but something a bit smaller sourced at that same flea was included. From the Paris flea market, Tara texted the client a photo of the Louis XV gilt-metal sconces and got an immediate “Yes!” The antique floor lamp is from a shop not far from the client’s apartment — Humble House in Boerum Hill. The vintage tole chandelier is from there, as well. The client’s directive to source only things “with a story behind them” was a dream come true. Take the pleated silk shade for example — it’s got a few holes in it, but that wasn’t disqualifying. It was a pleasure to work with a client who sees the beauty in something sourced locally and dripping with character, even if it’s got a few imperfections. Tara transformed the closet in the Guest Bedroom into a dramatic little work-from-home nook. The floor-to-ceiling curtains cover the entire wall and handily conceal an unattractive tiny window looking into an airshaft. The client requested a “lush bedroom,” so a variety of textures were incorporated to make things feel layered and luxurious. She has an extensive collection of perfume bottles, and they won a 1950s Hollywood Regency style mirrored vanity at auction — the perfect place to display them. The green of the Living Room is carried to the bedroom with the silk taffeta curtains and block-printed bedding. The headboard is upholstered in a pleated silk Georgette. There was limited space on either side of the bed, so Tara suggested mounting swing-arm lamps to the wall and sourced sleek little metal and travertine nightstands, which add just the right touch of “today.” The Rococo wood mirror over the bed was also won at auction.

Inspiration for a transitional medium tone wood floor family room remodel in Minneapolis with white walls

living room. This room was formerly a large, tiled space painted a dark shade of green. The light barely peeked in and when it did, it hardly was noticed as it did not bounce off the walls or move about the space. Here we combined vintage, French Country and Shabby Chic to create a stunning and functional Family Room. A vintage stereo cabinet was secured at a local auction, deconstructed and converted into a functional and beautiful media stand. Do you love Shabby Chic? White - on - White? French Country?

This project involved renovating and decorating a co-op in Center City, Philadelphia. It was a one-bedroom/one bath apartment with a kitchen at 700 s.f. We decided to give it a Mid Century Modern feeling in the living/dining area. The client was not involved in any of the decision-making, but did give us a few requests. We put in the Brazilian hardwood througout the living/dining room/kitchen. All the fixtures, paint, and window treatments are new. We purchased the new living room sofa and blue swivel chair. The wing chair (owner's) was re-upholstered. Since this was a high-low project, we purchased the hard pieces on Craig's list and at auction. The windows in this room face South, so we put in taupe/white solar blinds and softened them with creamy custom made chantung silk panels. The sofa was done in a tweedy orange color and is flanked by two floor lamps of chrome and lucite.

213 FEET OF PRIME BEACHFRONT PROPERTY ON HANALEI BAY. *The Faye property at Hanalei was purchased by Hans Peter Faye in 1915. Faye was a prominent Kauai sugar plantation manager and a member of the elite society of the day. He and a few others were privileged with the opportunity to purchase prime Hanalei beachfront lots at auction. The intention was to build summer beach houses on the best section of the Bay. *In 1915, H.P. Faye cleverly combined two of the original Hanalei Beach Lots, resulting in twice the land area and beach frontage of current comparables. Skillfully selected by Hans Peter Faye in 1915 at a time when Hanalei Bay was wide open. The location offers shelter, consistent offshore trade winds, sandbars, and amazing views. H.P. Faye had the vision and the finances to purchase not one but two lots in the best part of the Bay. The property has views both mauka and makai, and is perfect for swimming, parties and the beach lifestlye. *Building on the property may be permitted for up to 9,000 sf, allowing for additional structures, pool, & larger buildings(compared to average 4,500 sf on other Hanalei beachfront lots). *Today, almost all of the lots on Hanalei Bay have been subdivided and many of the original large estates are gone. Gone are the days of expansive,open spaces at Hanalei. The Faye property is one of a few parcels that retain the large, open feel and the ONLY ONE THAT IS AVAILABLE FOR SALE.
