About the project

A running relationship with one house: each season, another room. The primary suite came first. The bed wall is one textured panel, lit from behind, with the sconces mounted on it, and across the room a black herringbone wall holds the TV and the fireplace under a floating walnut mantel. The walk-in closet is walnut throughout, with LED strips in the uprights, a poured resin vanity top and a knurled-brass dimmer. Later the powder room went navy and brass, and the media room went dark in reclaimed wood.
