In the heart of Wilmington's historic district, this young couple's relocation journey unfolded with a unique challenge – to infuse life into their empty home by April's Azalea Festival Historic Home Tour. Eager to honor the architectural charm, we accentuated original details like the anaglypta wallpaper, transformed with a moody blue hue. Maintaining the essence of the old, we turned the original coal-burning fireplaces into bold, high-gloss black accents unique to each room. Inspired by the couple's bourbon collection, we incorporated a rich butterscotch leather in the library's wingback chairs, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere.
Given their remote work lifestyle, we crafted distinct office sanctuaries. His space exudes masculinity with a wet bar and distressed leather swivel chairs, while hers, a haven of femininity, basks in natural light from full-length windows. Every room boasts modernized touches through new fixtures, offering an inviting blend of textures and serene palettes. The former dining room, now a lounge, provides a cozy retreat for wine enthusiasts. With each accessory purposefully chosen, we transformed this historic space into a turnkey haven just in time for the grand reveal during the Historic Home Tour to over 1,000 guests.
