Laurelhurst 1939 Colonial
This gracious, traditional home had been partially remodeled, but the new owners wanted to update a few areas to better suit their lifestyle.
Client Objectives:
- Family-friendly furnishings and floorplan
- Plenty of space for projects, music-making, and baking
- A functional, spacious studio
- Workout room and pet washing areas
Our Approach:
Main floor: The living room was completely furnished: oriental rug, furniture, light fixtures, window treatments, art & accesories. The kitchen and dining areas were united with a common palette, a new backsplash was installed, new furniture, rugs, window treatments and art.
Upper floor: The master bedroom was completely furnished with sumptuous, tactile fabrics and a mixture of painted wood and beautifully stained pieces. Art and accessories were added. The child's bathroom was completely remodeled and his art work was framed for the walls. Art and accessories were installed throughout.
Lower floor: The same Marmoleum and color palette was used throughout to unify the space. What was once a family room became a working studio. It was gutted and glass french doors installed as well as new countertops, cabinets were salvaged and painted, custom desks built to detailed specifications, new efficient light fixtures added. An existing tiny bathroom was updated and now is the perfect place to shower after a workout or wash the dog!

This little den is the coziest room in the house! We stripped the knotty pine and added a chenille covered loveseat, good reading lights, abundant use of outdoor fabrics and found a rug that matched the fabric exactly!
We converted an existing family room into a spacious, well-appointed studio for him. Materials were chosen for their environmental sensibility: Marmoleum, Squak Mountain countertop, compact fluorescent fixtures, low VOC paint.
The original - charming, but broken in places and more effcient plumbing was installed.
