7th street parkside home, boulder, co

we wanted to create a modern space that was warm and inviting, as well as minimal and simple. we incorporated family and heritage pieces, mementos from travels and art and photos with personal meaning in the mix with clean, pared-down furnishings to give this home intriguing contrast, depth and texture.

we chose a streamlined, graphic interior palette of ebony floors and white walls to serve as a neutral backdrop for the eclectic and colorful mix of furniture, textiles and artwork. to provide consistency, only two tiles were used throughout the home: a dark charcoal slate and easy, white subway tiles. white thermafoil cabinets were used in both the kitchen and all three bathrooms. 

the furniture is a mix of new and vintage mid-century pieces (moller dining chairs, knoll entry credenza, wegner rope chairs, danish media credenza, eames stools and rocker), antiques (1930’s sideboard with bakelite pulls and engraved mirror, persian rugs, a steel nurse’s desk, a writing table) and contemporary furnishings (a poliform concorde marble dining table, a ben sen sofa, a pair of bludot modulicius dressers.) 

the walls are punctuated with pops of color and brought to life by the high/low collection of art and family textiles. throughout the home, warm personal pieces are paired with simple modern furnishings… modern “gezellig” or coziness.
