This home located in South Carolina housed the excellent balance between tradition and modern with an even better equilibrium of masculine and feminine style. On the more masculine side, are the plaster walls, reclaimed wood floors and antiques while on the female side, sophistication is presented in the forms of gleaming soft fabrics, touches of shimmering surfaces and whimsical Gracie wallpaper. Hard to not love this level of complexity found in a contemporary home which is very well suited for a young family of four. A Traditional Home which is equally cozy and elegant. It’s beautiful to see the rise and revival of traditional design. Classic style is one that never grows old, and it only gets better with time.
Featured in this month’s Traditional Home Magazine and designed by Michele Smith, this home is designed for Smith’s best friend and her family. The overall feel of the house is soothing and warm while stylish and sophisticated.
Above is the polished living room that’s as unique as it is beautiful and cozy. Sculpted bronze chairs by Claude Lalanne mingle with beautiful upholstered furniture. I’ve been eyeing this scalloped rattan ceiling light in the white version for a current project of mine.
The dining room has reclaimed wood and an antique table from France.
The custom Gracie wallpaper depicts the home’s picturesque view.
