RESIDENTIAL . CLASSIC REVIVAL

The Emerald Nook

The Design Philosophy

This home refuses to whisper. It speaks in rich sage green cabinetry, graphic chevron rugs, and the tactile warmth of cane webbing. Blending transitional elegance with mid-century soul, the design honors classical architecture—panel molding, arched windows—while injecting personality through unexpected choices.

The sage green becomes the home's signature, appearing in kitchen cabinetry with vertical fluting, glass-fronted uppers, and a sculptural living room accent chair. Paired with Calacatta marble and black matte fixtures, it's earthy yet refined. The bedroom introduces natural cane in the bed frame and nightstands—texture that invites touch, not just sight. Amber pendant lights glow like captured sunlight. The bold chevron rug grounds every space with graphic confidence, while a curated gallery wall and vibrant art pieces reveal layers of personal history. This isn't borrowed style; it's deeply lived.

The Comfort & Functionality

Sage cabinetry offers abundant storage while the waterfall marble island creates a gathering point. The integrated workspace with floating shelves and overhead storage transforms productivity into something beautiful. Cane furniture breathes, keeping the bedroom light and airy. The chevron rug defines zones without walls, letting open-plan living feel intentional, not scattered.

The Healing Element

Green calms the nervous system; marble adds cool elegance; cane connects to craft and tradition. This home heals by giving permission to be bold without being loud. It's grounded, expressive, unapologetically personal.
