My client wanted to completely start over in order to transition this English Tudor River Oaks home from dated and traditional to bright and fresh. With dark mahogany millwork throughout, I started my process of lightening it up by working with my clients extensive art collection and adding pieces from there. I relied on the color from the strong pieces of art and incorporated lighter fabrics and lighter rugs. On the second floor, we painted the millwork and did extensive work on the second primary bedroom, which included painting the cabinets, adding grasscloth, and hanging beautiful painted pieces to work against the dark wood to make it brighter. Standout original features of the home included the grand entrance hall, limestone floors, beams and stone throughout, as well as a wine cellar.
