North Carolina Residence
Located in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, this full-scale residential design-build project was completed in 2020, and included complete interior design selections, in coordination with a comprehensive architectural and renovation process. Buildsense provided the general contracting and architecture. The home was inspired by a playful, comfortable take on Colonial simplicity. Highlights include multiple handmade wallpapers, including a textured recycled newsprint in the main stair hall. This project was featured on Frederic Magazine in November 2022.
Concrete countertops and slab front kitchen cabinetry create a casual and relaxed yet polished design feel. The cabinetry and walls are painted in Benjamin Moore White Dove OC-17.
Bright chairs add a kid-friend pop of color to a kitchen breakfast area.
The living room design features a prominent window seat that looks over the backyard. A large jute rug grounds and warms the space. The walls and cabinetry are painted in Farrow & Ball Slipper Satin No.2004. The vintage red center coffee table is ceramic top on an iron base. Fabrics are textural, casual and cozy, in keeping with the design intent.
The living room features a wall-hung shelving system by Vitsoe. The living room sofa is the Dune Da Bomb sofa, clad a wool-linen blend by Rogers & Goffigon.
This corner along the living room’s window seat utilizes the Grange Chairs by Soane Britain, flanking an iconic Knoll Saarinen Dining Table.
The home’s stair hall features an arts & crafts inspired baluster design, and a craft-oriented, Hot Off The Press wallcovering by Weitzner, which is created from recycled newspaper.
In the primary bedroom suite, the serene backdrop of the bedroom is created with Morris & Co. Marigold wallpaper, and a simple slipcovered bed. The bedside task sconces are from Anglepoise, and the bedside tables are the BDDW Captain Side Table.
The Primary bathroom features a bisque hexagon gloss floor tile, and beadboard paneling. The cast iron tub by Drummonds has an iron exterior, and the plumbing fixtures are in burnished non-lacquered brass by Samuel Heath.
Vintage Italian lamps flank the bedside of a custom upholstered bed in a girl’s bedroom. The Galbraith & Paul Daisy wallpaper creates a lively green backdrop.
A vintage blond Paul McCobb dresser adds storage, while a cozy flokati shag rug provides softness underfoot. The vanity seat is upholstered in Virginia Kraft’s Hamam linen. The floral paintings are vintage and Mary Maguire.
An office and guest room includes Christopher Farr Cloth’s Fathom, a favorite pattern at the firm. The slipcovered sleeper sofa, is clad in Wicker pattern linen, by Fermoie. The solid green rug is a plain hemp, by Vanderhurd. The ottoman and chair are vintage.
