Rose Hall
High atop Town Mountain began a complete transformation of a once garishly colored and furnished 6,400 Square Foot Georgian Estate. The project commenced with initial exterior paint consultations and swiftly turned to a complete strip down and start again remodel. While the exterior paint was going up, the homeowners tackled the lower level on their own. Simultaneously, we began building the design boards for the upper two levels, layering fabrics and wallpapers into a strategic plan of transformation that would be our foundation for color and flow. Once complete, the color palette of interior paints followed. Trims and walls recolored and painted, floors resurfaced to their deserved luster, two fireplaces completely demoed and redesigned in limestone, kitchen surrounding cabinetry painted out, a new island designed and stoned, bathrooms 100% demoed for new beginnings. The Rosehill project encompassed complete design of both interior and exterior lighting, rugs, drapery and shades, master bath and powder rooms layouts, tile and furnishings, furniture, decoratives and art. Timeless, classic style was set in place to accurately marry the essence of the exterior architecture of the home. The center entry hall’s Oleander wallcovering from Lee Jofa set the tone, all elements built around this starting point. Being true to the architecture, yet desiring to soften the formality of its bones, the homeowners goal was to create a casual sanctuary for this mountain retreat. We looked to accomplish this through relaxed, clean hip furniture styling and the integration of natural and organic materials and textures. A Shagreen surfaced coffee table , Stark sisal area rugs, bone patterned mirrors, seaglass and urchin bone chandeliers, Hartmann & Forbes cork office wallcoverings and woven and reeded window shades, unfinished distressed natural leather game table chairs, geodes as decoratives, all play a part in delivering this environment. Wallcovering and drapery selection clearly impacted the moods and tone within in this home, from paper in halls and baths to the master bedroom, drapery spills in the living and dining rooms, pattern and texture took this project to another level.
