A well built Georgian Style home in a beautiful old neighborhood dotted with mature oak trees, suffered from a lack of interior architectural panache. Working with the clients interior designer, we combined rich, textural wood choices, and a contrasting color palette to completely rework the homes' interior look.

The staircase combined Brazilian cherry treads, almost ebony in color, with contrasting risers made from sapele with pommele figuring.. The wainscot combined American Black Walnut framing, also stained and glazed dark, book matched Eucalyptus Burl panels, and a dado rail of the Sapele Pommele to tie it in with the staircase risers.

A door built into the wainscot, downplays its presence on the wall when closed. A powder room behind reveals itself, and a mural, painted by the designer, is featured on the inside face of the door.

The double entry door and the door to the master bedroom at the top of the staircase, provide a stunning view from either vantage point on the stair. Both sets of doors are made from Mahogany, and feature Eucalyptus burl panels trimmed in ebonized Costello, a straight grained wood, which is easily dyed to a uniform color.
