kingsley residence

linda worked with california natives to restore this early twentieth-century shaker heights home. together, they dreamed up a sophisticated space balancing classic silhouettes with splashes of color and moments of whimsy.

Familiar with the charming quirks that accompany heritage homes, Linda began by outfitting the home’s main level with updated electrical to prime the space for lighting.

Ambience for the entryway and living room was created by taking cues from the homeowner's love of old and new, found and fabricated. The foyer is a moody welcome featuring saturated hues, a beautifully painted grasscloth wall covering and painted Art Deco staircase.

The main gathering space features multicolored wingback chairs and a Carta Lichtenstein print adorning the mantel. The space delivers unexpected pairings and just the right amount of romance.
