How would you describe the aesthetic of this project?
I’d say overall it’s very glam, but we had variations on that. One of the Pinterest boards I made for the client was called “husband-friendly glam.” There is a lot of gold and brushed brass, which brings a strong ’70s feeling, but we included enough vintage pieces from other eras that it’s balanced.

William Duff Architects designed a new outdoor space for the family to enjoy indoor-outdoor living.

How did you bridge the 20th-century Craftsman architectural details with the contemporary furnishings?
We incorporated historic references. We worked closely with the architect to design a built-in shelving unit for the library that complements the dramatic coffered ceiling in that space.

the custom headboard, upholstered by Attard in Donghia fabric, adds a hint of color to the serene master bedroom, which also features custom shades by Best Line in Kravet fabric and a side table with scrolled detailing that nods to the home’s period architecture.

I’m accustomed to saying “Trust me, it’s going to work out,” but the wife was all-in every time, so it was really fun to make bold choices like the polo- blue lacquered walls in the library with plum-colored chairs and blush drapes. It sounds a bit crazy, but it all works together beautifully.

What was your thinking behind the distinctive window treatments?
Windows can either match the walls, which creates a peaceful look and takes the eye outside, or they can be a feature. In the shared spaces, we injected color with bright-blue shades in Pindler & Pindler fabric against white walls while the windows in the bedroom are more neutral and quiet.
