Earthy Mackay House
Earthy Mackay House
Cathie Hong InteriorsCathie Hong Interiors
This 1956 John Calder Mackay home had been poorly renovated in years past. We kept the 1400 sqft footprint of the home, but re-oriented and re-imagined the bland white kitchen to a midcentury olive green kitchen that opened up the sight lines to the wall of glass facing the rear yard. We chose materials that felt authentic and appropriate for the house: handmade glazed ceramics, bricks inspired by the California coast, natural white oaks heavy in grain, and honed marbles in complementary hues to the earth tones we peppered throughout the hard and soft finishes. This project was featured in the Wall Street Journal in April 2022.

Needing a refresh for their media room, clients in this Santa Barbara style home opted for a custom mix of contemporary and classic. For comfortable seating, we refurbished a rare mid-century lounge chair from Brazil, upholstered a slope-arm sofa in laundered linen, and created a custom ottoman from a vintage kilim rug. We established our palette with a traditional rug in ocean tones, adding modern ceramics and hand-woven textile accents to add warmth and patina.

The main floor of this Queen Anne Seattle home is designed with an open floor plan for the living, dining, and kitchen areas. The extremely narrow lot was challenging to work with, but despite these challenges, the spaces feel open and welcoming.
