Food and wine are important elements of the owners’ lives, so having ample space to prepare meals was essential. Devol pendants hang above the Matthew Cox island and Apparatus flush mounts add another source of light to the space.

The powder room received one of the bigger overhauls in the house and required some serious problem solving when the owners decided to use a centuries-old Greek washbasin as the sink. “Our contractor, [Jeff Altmann], was really patient, and also impressive, to be able to figure out how to make the sink effortlessly float,” says one of the homeowners. The Nicholas Herbert wall covering, antique brass scroll mirror, and Italian sconces continue the old-world feeling, while the Clé tiles and Waterworks Henry faucet add a glossy sheen to the room.

Adding a built-in bench to the listening room was one of the few changes the homeowners felt strongly about. “Craftsman houses usually have a built-in window seat so this seemed appropriate, and Heidi and our contractor made it look like it had always been there,” the homeowner says. “We incorporated some drawers underneath and having that extra storage is always a plus.” The cushions are covered in Guy Goodfellow fabric while the pillows add pops of color and pattern with Decors Barbares and Robert Kime fabrics.

The garden room, where the owners love to sit and have coffee in the morning, gives off a light, happy energy. It’s also a perfect example of where Caillier’s vision—that the room needed a green, skirted sofa (a custom piece covered in a Lisa Fine Textiles pattern)—paid off and is beloved by all. The rattan chairs are French antiques with cushions covered in Nicholas Herbert fabric. The ottoman is another custom piece covered in fabric from Jennifer Shorto. The rug is from Rush House.

A large-scale floral Pierre Frey wallpaper adds a youthful touch to the upstairs landing. Antiques fill the space from Audoux-Minet sconces to a Swedish bench and a Tuareg rug from Mehraban.

The primary bedroom is a favorite room of the homeowners, who find the soothing gray green Farrow + Ball Cromarty walls and views looking out to the Bay very peaceful. Just beyond the room is a Victorian sleeping porch—back in the day they were used for breezy summer slumber—used as an office space. The artwork is from Casa Gusto.
