The Fairview entry, two stories tall. Floor-to-ceiling French doors, a brass and alabaster chandelier, a vintage rug on white oak, all of it sized for the light.
The room is tall because the doors are tall.
Nothing on the floor gets between them and the sun.
The walls are limestone-cream. That color takes the light and doesn't throw it back. The rug is dark enough to ground the floor and woven loose enough to still read on a cloudy afternoon.
The art wall, full width
Slatted wood and dark abstract
Leather bench beneath
Scroll. It fills the mat, then travels the frame
The rug, the bench, the two pieces of art. The palm is the one thing in the room that's alive.
The chandelier is one alabaster pendant set in brass, oversized on purpose. The bench sits under the slatted wood piece with a sheepskin throw over it and a basket underneath. The palm and the coat tree share the corner that gets the morning sun.
This is the first room anyone walks into
Oak, iron, brass, wool, and limestone. Each one has one job in the room.
Oak on the floor, iron at the doors and transom, brass overhead, wool down the middle, limestone on the walls. Nothing sits on top of them. The color in the room is whatever those five already are. The bench frame and the coat tree are black iron too, so the metalwork reads as one set.
The markAfter that it's the rug, the chandelier, and whatever the light is doing.
A two-story foyer sized around the light through its front doors and furnished with found pieces. It introduces the house before anyone says hello.
