{I’ve gone from glam to minimal, and today has been a bit of exploration into my traditional/transitional leanings. This project by Alabama-based Betsy Brown is a renovation of a 1950s home.} The massive front door, constructed of horizontal white oak planks and hardware with an industrial look, might seem out of place in any other setting, but here it finds the perfect placement. Instead of hanging from traditional hinges, the door pivots from the center for a surprising but utilitarian element. Ample built-in shelving, lined with aged white oak planks, offers sleek display space for the homeowners’ book collection. Clean stainless steel surfaces, Italian Carrara marble, and the bleached white oak of the island create a kitchen that is as pleasing to view as to use. The chrome barstools, designed by Harry Bertoia in 1952, and the Brutalist steel rotating wall sculpture provide an edginess that is true to the roots of the new home. The master bedroom and adjacent lounge are tucked away from the rest of the house. In the bedroom, the soft whites and pale grays of the upholstery and walls create a serene ambiance. Natural light reflects off of the hand-waxed fluted vanity and bleached white oak cabinets. A plush reindeer rug softens the clean lines of the dominant elements. -- source link
