Sharing a few different angles of the living area from one of our newest projects in Hedwig Village.
Designed for a client who loves to host, this space was created with gathering in mind. Sculptural furnishings, warm brass accents, tailored drapery, and a mix of patterned textiles give the room plenty of character, while twin cocktail tables add a classic element alongside the more sculptural forms.
The result is a space that feels collected and personal, with plenty of room to bring people together.

A serene retreat with just the right amount of texture and contrast.
The client’s love of rich jewel tones can be felt throughout the home, and this primary bedroom brings that sensibility in through layered color, an ivory lattice wallpaper, and warm, inviting details. An upholstered canopy bed and alabaster pendants complete the space, creating a retreat that feels refined, personal, and effortlessly comfortable.

Which palette speaks more to you?

Moody, tailored, and quietly dramatic 👀
A deep, earthy palette sets the tone in this home office, where a sculptural chandelier, graphic floor-to-ceiling drapery, and warm wood details create a space with plenty of character. A custom desk with a cantilevered edge was designed to accommodate the homeowner’s height, while a fireplace and comfortable seating make the office feel as inviting as it is considered.

A formal living space shaped by a worldly perspective and a love of entertaining.
Having lived in both France and Damascus, the homeowners brought a sophisticated, well-traveled point of view to the design. Rich walnut millwork, sculptural furnishings and layered details create a space that feels elevated, personal and inviting.
A home designed to feel as collected as the people who live in it.

A bar that knows when to disappear. ✨
Designed with custom millwork and pocket drawers that conceal the bar when it’s not in use, this upstairs space is equal parts beautiful and functional. LED tape lighting, panel-front cabinetry, and a concealed under-counter fridge keep everything tucked away while maintaining the timeless feel of this transitional English manor.

Boots on the ground in Fredericksburg!
We met with our builders to walk the guest house ahead of installation, review materials and stain samples, before checking progress on the main house.
Every detail, seen in person.
This is our client's second home, deep in the heart of Hill Country made for gatherings, hosting, and family.
Doing it all for the love of home 🤍

Soaking up these last moments of summer. ☀️
Labor Day weekend is here and we’re holding onto long afternoons, outdoor dinners, and evenings spent lingering a little longer. This covered outdoor space was designed for exactly that: gathering, relaxing, and making the most of summer at home.
