“The jute wrapped pendants from Cuff Studio are a showstopper when you enter this home,” says interior designer Jen Samson. “So, the Hal Fromhold piece that hangs above the bench was a true find. I was sourcing art in Palm Springs at one of my favorite vintage shopping destinations, Hedge, when I came across this piece. Fromhold was a mid-century artist who lived and worked in Northern CA, where are clients are from.  This piece represented their family and their new home perfectly.”

“Our JSD custom sofas ground this large room beautifully. We opted for a beautiful blue performance fabric from McClarin and Pearcy for the upholstery.”

“The fireplace, and even more specifically the custom limestone hearth that serves as both a floating bench seat and as a vessel to store wood underneath it is a favorite design detail. Again, each of the found vintage objects that we collected during the duration of the project and the art by Ali Enache that sits above the mantel are all special pieces that help to tell the story.”

“Although the ceilings are vaulted in the dining area of the home, we wanted to create a more intimate experience so finding the perfect lighting was imperative. The chandelier, which drops from the second story ceiling, is made of brass, leather and jade onyx and adds the perfect grounding, yet modern touch to this room.”

The chandelier is Apparatus and the sconces are Vespar.

“One of the very first design decisions I was so passionate and excited about was to use this perfectly imperfect minty blue-green speckled glazed brick as the backsplash throughout the kitchen and the butler’s pantry,” Jen explains.

“This particular brick is a collection from Clé called New California and is inspired by the California landscape and the mid-century craft movement. It’s a perfect complement to our design direction overall. Also, the handcrafted custom pendants for Dumais Made are also a favorite design feature.”

“I love every detail about this area!  Because most of the first floor of the home is an open floor plan, it was important to create smaller, more intimate areas where our clients and friends could gather. The built-in banquette allows for 6 or more to eat or lounge comfortably in a more relaxed setting just off the kitchen. I love all of the fabrics we used for upholstery in this area, especially the striped Zak + Fox fabric on the extra-long cushions and back pillows.”

The rope art is by Jim Olarte.

“Our clients had a baby boy during construction on this project, so we knew the nursery really had to be special. I found the mid-century Bill Hinz hooked wool tapestry when sourcing for art and our clients fell instantly in love with it. This became the inspiration for the room!  We then paired that piece with a wallpaper called Sunbird by These Walls. Within the somewhat retro abstract design, the paper has soaring birds and sunshine reminiscent of what one may find in California, or on a mountaintop in Utah.”

“The primary bedroom is the ultimate sanctuary of serenity!  We opted to cover the walls in a textured wallcovering to bring in a bit of warmth to the room, and layered the bed with a gorgeous bedcover from Neeru Kumar.”

The art is by Hailey Young. 

“At first I was not sure how I felt about the flow of the primary bathroom,” Jen admits. “After some thoughtful space planning and adding windows to bring in additional natural light, we landed on a layout that is really quite striking. The oak vanities, finished in a beautiful caramel tone, flank the closet doors which have a beautiful open decorative millwork panel detail.”

“This long bathroom corridor opens up to the rest of the room, including a pedestal bathtub with incredible views of the trees outside and a gorgeous stone cladded shower.”
