this charming, historic denver house was remodeled to add more functionality and storage in the kitchen area, including built-in cabinets by the kitchen table, a complete redo of the sitting area with fireplace and the mudroom. the primary bathroom was also redesigned to allow for better light, a standalone tub and greater storage in the vanity.
the living room was reoriented to face the newly redesigned fireplace. the warm palette of burnt red, saddle leather and wood tones was inspired by the colors of the vintage area rug. rounded shapes in the sofa, noguchi coffee table, tomato colored side chairs and eames lounge chair soften the space.
the dining room features a traditional, colorful area rug with a mid-century dining set and bar and an industrial chrome lighting fixture.
the redone kitchen area is a mixture of traditional shaker cabinetry with newly added streamlined, flat panel cabinets mixed in on the wall behind the kitchen table, surrounding the fireplace and in the mudroom entry. they are connected by the clean, white color with hits of gray in the marbled counter tops and cement toned fireplace surround. bright pops of color are brought in with the long, horizontal abstract painting commissioned from sarah kinn, the red side table and bookshelf accessories.
floor to ceiling cabinets were added to the left of the kitchen table for added storage.
the fireplace surround was also redone to add shelving and cabinets, along with new cement-toned facing.
the mudroom cabinets are tucked behind the pony wall, adjacent to the back door.
the primary bedroom is a kaleidoscope of colors and textures from the artwork (dropcloth painting by sarah kinn), multi-colored woven bench, sheepskin rug and bedding, grounded by the walnut and wenge furnishings (bedside tables and dressers.)
the cozy, upholstered bed is covered in color and texture from the extra bedding textiles.
the primary bathroom was opened up to allow for a “wet area” that includes a double shower and a standalone tub, tucked behind a partial glass wall. The new layout creates a generous, expansive space with light pouring in from all the surrounding windows.
