A substantial house in one of the Peninsula’s most desirable neighborhoods, this residence was home to a busy family of five looking to design spaces that welcomed their large extended family and friends. For the living room, we were tasked with creating an architectural, elegant space to seat fifteen. A den/library highlights the homeowner’s passion for green. In the powder room, we selected green and navy grasscloth wallpaper for a burst of vibrancy.

CANVAS & TIMBER An art lover's home, warmed by wood and stone. DESIGN DESCRIPTION This home is built around a passion for painting. In the living room, a salon-style gallery wall of landscape canvases rises against rich charcoal grasscloth, above a black leather sofa scattered with vibrant kilim cushions. Drum-shaped iron-and-wood coffee tables, a soft hide rug and wire-frame chairs mix rustic texture with modern lines. The open plan flows to a plank-top dining table with black leather chairs, and on to a family room where a stacked stone fireplace and walls of windows bring the outdoors in. Here, a velvet slipper chair, a red knit pouf and golden gourd vessels add playful colour. In the entry, an antique writing desk sits beside a classic oak staircase, framed by more treasured artwork. Warm, personal and endlessly inviting, it is a home that tells its owners' story.

Alison & Eric have been my clients for almost 5 years. We began working together , shortly after they purchased their home. About a year later, when Alison was pregnant with their first child they reached out to me to design the nursery & transform the garage into an office/ lounge. Later we did a total makeover in their living room, and recently I completed the nursery for their newest addition the the family. For me, as a designer with a great passion for the home, I absolutely love to be able to build long term relationships with the people I work with. Seeing my clients grow and transform and being there to ensure that their spaces, the backdrop of their lives, continue to nourish & inspire them. Photography by Roberto Garcia

This project's personal and eclectic aesthetic was drawn from our passion of fashion, art, history. Each piece was carefully selected to create a cohesive collected home.
