The design for this home in Palo Alto looked to create a union between the interior and exterior, blending the spaces in such a way as to allow residents to move seamlessly between the two environments. Expansive glazing was used throughout the home to complement this union, looking out onto a swimming pool centrally located within the courtyard. Within the living room, a large operable skylight brings in plentiful sunlight, while utilizing self tinting glass that adjusts to various lighting conditions throughout the day to ensure optimal comfort. For the exterior, a living wall was added to the garage that continues into the backyard. Extensive landscaping and a gabion wall was also created to provide privacy and contribute to the sense of the home as a tranquil oasis.

Kitchen/dining room combo - transitional brown floor kitchen/dining room combo idea in Austin

This formal living room is located in East Avenue mansion in a Preservation District. It has beautiful architectural details and I choose to leave the chandelier in place. I wanted to use elegant and contemporary furniture and showcase our local contemporary artists including furniture from Wendell Castle. The wing chair in the background was in the house and I choose to have a slip cover made for it and juxtapose it next to a very contemporary Wendell Castle side table that has an amazing crackle finish

Ah, the bedroom! With our tight budget, we opted to keep the original berber carpet and add an area rug. We ordered the chartreuse velvet bed from Interior Define. The coverlet is from Urban Outfitters. The side tables and curtains were sourced from Anthropologie, the reading lights were from West Elm. The Blu Dot dresser was our splurge in this room. We framed our client's artwork using frame remnants and wood scraps. The weavings were collected by the client on her travels, African sculpture on loan from her parents.
