We’re working on some updates over at Rebel House! Lots to share in the coming months, but for now, here is a little BTS of our recent headshot shoot with the ever talented Maria Ponce Berre at one of our fabulous client’s homes.

“Collectible Design” was the driving inspiration behind many of the custom pieces we designed and sourced for this space. We love that furniture and art can live in the same category—and for a formal reception room like this one, a collected group of elevated pieces makes the experience of the room that much more grand and memorable. It’s the talk of the party and the town.

We’d like to challenge those that worry patterns and wallpaper aren’t “timeless”. They give flavor to a space. It would be like eating vanilla your whole life and never trying something more complex. Live a little! You won’t regret it.

Grasscloth is another tried and true wall covering favorite. It adds sophistication and texture to any room. It’s earthy and varied—our two favorite design qualities. It can be modern or traditional.

Dress up those walls and you’ll see your space transform.

Texture and scale are the secret ingredients to a fantastic room. Crafted for the Lake Forest Showhouse, this space boasts larger than life local wildflowers made by hand of plaster, lime washed for uniformity. Balancing out the vignette are vintage, reupholstered chairs, custom back-to-back sofas, and a rippling cocktail table by the ever talented Tom Faulkner.

More from our Luxe Magazine feature—this is part of the original, historic home from the early 40s. This sitting room is at the perfect scale for intimate gatherings. Meanwhile, the great room boasts tall ceilings, plenty of space for a big crowd, and generous seating that opens to the kitchen. We mixed some custom pieces with retail pieces for a balanced space that feels unique to the house and still approachable.

Scroll through for a glimpse of both spaces.

Captured in Luxe Magazine this year, our Wentworth project has been the inspiration for many kitchens and great rooms to follow. The mix of materials and warmth have set the stage for additional fun designs that use texture and color to add depth to a space.

Let’s get positive for a second! We already shared the things we wanted to hear less of this year, but lets talk about what you should be talking about with your design and contracting team early in the process.

1. Tell us what matters most to you right off the bat. Every single client values things differently. Depending on how you live, how you need your space to function, and just plain old what excites you impacts the pieces of the project which are going to be most important to you. Do not assume what you care about most is universal. Trust us, we see it all and we want to make sure your project is prioritizing what makes you happiest!
2. Put yourself first. We are so often asked, “what will this mean for resale?” or “what are the trends?” If you are undergoing a major project or new build with the intent for your family to enjoy it, then make it about your family. When it comes to long term value, we’ll be sure to raise our hand and point out if we think there is something to consider, but by the time you are looking to sell, the next buyer might be considering their own major renovation. If you are unsure about your own taste, we’ll help you tease out what excites you. It’s part of the fun!
3. Ask what goes into the project documentation and why you need a drawings and schedule package. Once you’ve made your decisions, your design or architecture team translates those selections into schedules and detail drawings. If something is lost in translation, you want to understand that early. It also helps to see just how many decisions and how much work goes into bringing your space to life.
