“I needed lights that would make a statement, fill a large space, and were easy to customize,” she explains. “I also wanted a very casual look.” Alison opted for the Astro Shallow Bowl Gooseneck Light for the kitchen. She customized these American-made wall lights with generous 16″ shades and G22 gooseneck arms all with a lively Orange finish.

Modern luxury meets warm farmhouse in this Southampton home! Scandinavian inspired furnishings and light fixtures create a clean and tailored look, while the natural materials found in accent walls, casegoods, the staircase, and home decor hone in on a homey feel. An open-concept interior that proves less can be more is how we’d explain this interior. By accentuating the “negative space,” we’ve allowed the carefully chosen furnishings and artwork to steal the show, while the crisp whites and abundance of natural light create a rejuvenated and refreshed interior.
This sprawling 5,000 square foot home includes a salon, ballet room, two media rooms, a conference room, multifunctional study, and, lastly, a guest house (which is a mini version of the main house).

“I instantly fell in love with the schoolhouse pendants from Barn Light. When I saw that Jadite stripe, it was instant love,” she explains. “I knew they would be the focal feature over the large island and the perfect nod to the vintage style we love. They also feel fresh and modern with the cords and the black fitter and canopy.”

This home was a new construction and the client came in explaining to me that she wished to display her antique SELTZER bottles. We therefore designed a beautiful appliance/pantry wall with open shelving above that have LED lighting where she has placed her colorful collection of bottles. We also designed a bar area adjacent to the kitchen that adds extra storage and connects the eating area to the kitchen with its matching cabinetry and open shelving above.

The original spa was a zero-edge perimeter overflow design, which looked very dramatic, but was not clearly explained by the builder. With its continuous flow of water over all four sides there was no dry ledge where bathers could sit and dangle their legs in the spa before entering.

Arielle and Travis chose the Dominion Gooseneck Light for their renovated kitchen. They customized these handcrafted wall lights with 12″ shades, a crisp White porcelain enamel finish, and G26 gooseneck arms.
“With our vaulted ceiling, the functionality of the arm was important,” Arielle explains. “The lights needed to come off the wall far enough to light the counter well.”

With an ideal location in the Pacific Heights neighborhood of San Francisco, this dated Victorian residence had "beautiful bones" but had been sitting on the market for a year before being purchased with plans to revitalize the interior. Interior designer, Noel Han, explained, "Historical Victorian homes in this area often have beautiful architectural elements that I aim to preserve, but the floor plan and layout tend to be stuffy, not live-able and not light filled. Modern families want bright, light-filled, spacious rooms that take advantage of outdoor views and living spaces, and function well for storage, meals and entertaining."
Preserving the architectural integrity and special features of the home was one of Han's goals but at the same time, she re-designed the space, moving walls and adding windows to create an open floorplan that flowed easily between the kitchen and outdoor living spaces. Where the range once stood in the original design, now an entire wall of windows provides panoramic views of the outdoors and fills the kitchen with light. Below the windows, Han designed a long bank of base cabinets with drawers to provide plenty of storage and work surface. Light now pours into the space even on foggy days. The range was moved to the opposite wall so that beautiful window views could be added to the kitchen.
Han selected a palette of finishes with an eye toward creating a "soft color aesthetic". "White painted finishes are very popular right now but would have felt stark and cold in this space," she explained. "The French grey paint from Dura Supreme was a perfect complement for this vintage Victorian home, to create a classic color scheme".
"This beautiful home already had hardware elements with a vintage brass finish, so I carefully selected antiqued, brushed brass hardware, plumbing and metal finishes to blend with the original elements," said Han. She continued, "The La Cornue French Range adds modern function with a French antique look."
"I appreciate working with Dura Supreme cabinetry because of the quality of the cabinetry, fast delivery and the custom options. I'm able to create beautiful architectural details like the pull-out columns on both sides of the range and the curved mullion doors on the furniture hutch, and they offer a stunning palette of finishes and styles," explained Han. For the bath cabinetry, Han created a similar palette of finishes and styles to create a complementary look throughout the entire home.

When I was interviewing architects for this project I remember explaining my vision for this home and walking them through what this back yard now looks like, and one of them told me that it was a horrible plan and that it would look awful. I'm glad I held firm on what I knew would turn out to be amazing.
