THE TONAL HOME

A first-floor renovation in Lakeway, furnished and styled as one: new wood floors, a fresh kitchen, and a dramatic powder bath.

THE VISION
The brief was continuity: a first floor of nine spaces that would read as one home rather than a sequence of rooms. Nearly every finish, furnishing, and object was newly specified, with only the dining table, dining console, and coffee table carried forward.

THE DESIGN

One Continuous Thread
New wood floors and a single quiet paint tone carry from room to room.

Edited, Not Erased
The kitchen’s cabinetry was kept and repainted, then renewed with new hardware, appliances, plumbing, and backsplash tile.

Furnished as a Whole
The living and dining rooms were laid out and furnished together, and the office now works as both a workspace and a media room.

SIGNATURE DETAILS & MATERIAL PALETTE
– Custom upholstery and full-length draperies
– Powder bath with a warm wood vanity, sculpted pulls, and a vessel sink
– Backlit oval mirror on a black wall with sculptural sconces
– Light wood floors, warm taupe, natural wood, and muted green, with black metal as the counterpoint

Sourcing details and specifications are shared with studio clients.
