A few months ago, I had the privilege of photographing this beautiful Colonial House, nestled in a charming suburb of St. Louis. Recently renovated and meticulously decorated, this home was designed with the intention of creating a warm and inviting space for the family to enjoy and entertain. And trust me, they achieved that and so much more.
The Office: Where Work Meets Style
Just off the entryway, you'll discover a sleek and modern office space. The light gray walls provide a fresh backdrop that beautifully contrasts with the traditional dark hardwood floors and elegant leather chair. This harmonious blend of old and new creates an atmosphere that is both sophisticated and inviting.
Entertaining Space: Where Memories Are Made
Across from the office lies one of the most remarkable rooms in the house. What was once a rarely-used formal dining room has been transformed into a vibrant bar area where friends and family gather to celebrate life's precious moments.
The homeowners opted for a rustic country colonial aesthetic for the custom-built bar, featuring sleek black honed granite countertops. The gray walls infuse a sense of casual elegance, creating a fresh and inviting ambiance that is perfect for entertaining.
This inviting space provides ample seating, complete with a TV for watching the game. With a wine cooler, wine storage, and an array of fine spirits, guests will never go thirsty!
Gone are the days of traditional formal dining rooms – this entertainment space is a testament to the modern family's desire for a multifunctional and dynamic layout.
Modern Colonial Style Kitchen: Where Culinary Dreams Come True
From the entertaining space, let's make our way into the heart of the home – the kitchen. This space exudes rustic modern charm, with exposed beams, subway tile, a copper sink, a Wolf range, and a stunning custom barn wood hood.
The navy blue island steals the show, with its thoughtful storage solutions, including a large drawer that cleverly conceals multiple internal drawers. The functionality of this space is unparalleled.
Notice the dual dishwashers strategically placed on either side of the sink, ensuring speedy cleanup for these dedicated hosts and hostesses.
Screened-in Porch: Nature's Oasis
Step outside and discover the tranquility of the screened-in porch. With a cozy fire pit and a swing, this space allows you to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors, even in the coldest of winters.
The Bathroom: Where Tradition Meets Modernity
The custom barn wood sink in the bathroom is a prime example of how the owners seamlessly integrated rustic and modern elements throughout their home. These thoughtful design choices uphold the traditional charm of the house while embracing the amenities of the modern era.
Modern Colonial Living Room: The Epitome of Elegance
Finally, the living room greets you with its coffered ceilings and custom wood bookcases flanking the painted brick fireplace. The room exudes a warm and inviting ambiance, with a neutral rug, a comfortable couch, and gray walls that beautifully complement the fireplace's gray tones.
The owners of this remarkable house have successfully blended new finishes with old-world charm, creating a beautiful modern Colonial home that effortlessly balances rustic elegance with contemporary allure. It serves as a testament to how a renovation can uphold traditional warmth while embracing the allure of the new and shiny.
