This home in Washington County is so special. The homeowners and I (and their architect and builder and many wonderful craftsmen) have been working for some time to see this beauty finally emerge and boy is it emerging to be everything we hoped!

Every site visit I am so excited to see it come to life and near completion!

Is there anything better than the smell of sawdust and fresh paint and the sound of saws and hammers! Not to me!

These colors are soft but fresh and feel so organic and fitting to their landscape, especially with the wildflowers still blooming just outside!

Most of the house is painted BM Pale Oak, SW Eider White with dark accents of SW Dorian Gray and SW Classic French Gray. And SW Peppercorn in one very special room! We may be discussing a drinking game with the aim of naming these colors! The top color is custom just for the lady of the house!

I like to think Mr A. Hayes Town himself would approve of this color palette, I am so pleased with how they play of one another and the natural light. Not all my doing, the homeowners did a lot of samples and comparing colors, total team effort to get to this point. Houses like this don’t just happen! I couldn’t help but think of this famous image of him today when I saw this Duxbury and Classic French Gray paint on the walls!

More to come including some wonderful exterior photos and brick flooring and grasscloth. Also I am hoping the homeowners will let me share some of the tips and tricks they learned in researching some historic Natchez, Mississippi, paint colors! They did their homework. It’s been such a joy to be a part..amazing team of architectural design, builder, craftsmen and more. Including Fischer Tile of Brenham Texas and JM Floors. I can’t wait to see the lighting via True Blue Home installed and marble via BRENHAM AREA MARBLE in place.

Oh my this brightened my weekend. (And by the way thank you for all of the love and support to our family on last week’s post. no words. just no words. thank you)

Ok so DESIGN. DECORATING. That is what I do here; As many of you know I offer different levels of help and service. Some online, some in person, some more full service, most just consulting. I see a project once or twice and make suggestions and you run with it. That works for me with my boys the ages they are and it fits the budgets of many of my clients. Of course there are exceptions but this particular client had me at “little old cottage in Birmingham.” I love that city and we immediately hit it off and went fast. She did a mini which is like $295 for three questions via email (maybe its gone up ask leslie at clients at hollymathisinteriors.com) but its specific and very focused. This girl took that little mini consult and did this.

I dare she may not have needed Holly Mathis Interiors but I am glad to be a part. It was originally a 3 bedroom and 1 bath house and the homeowners figured out how to make it a two bath with parts from the master suite and mudroom. The house was originally built in the 1930s. Love that. This style fits that age house so well…most already have it!

So how did this work? We emailed a few times and exchanged ideas and some pinterest pics of tile floors and patterns to attempt… She showed what she already had in mind and I think my affirmation and slight direction allowed her to spread her wings and make bathroom BEAUTY!

The chandelier and original rock wall add so much character. I love how each surface is different: hex tile, marble, subway, brick and I think some sheetrock. Nothing says “old house evolution” like mixing materials this way and Nikki and her husband and tile guy and cabinet guy did AMAZING work! Those Kingston brass fixtures make me want to cry!

Door from the nursery that they moved to bathroom….um yeah we are probably thinking the same thing… Bamboo shaded (privacy lined) stat!

More sources:

The tile floor was a custom design from pictures we discussed. Tile came from Dal Tile in Birmingham. (White subway, black and white hex and gray grout)

The plumbing fixtures are the living brass from Newport Brass via Ferguson Showroom in Birmingham. The cast iron tub and sink were also through Ferguson.

Cabinet maker, Tim Pollard at Alabama Cabinets who made the bathroom vanity.

Wall color is Moderate White from Sherwin Williams.

The vanity sconces came from Mayer Electric.

The chandelier over the tub is something a dear friend gave the homeowner. The brass knobs on the bathroom were also from that same friend’s garage. 🙂

The door leading into the bath was the original front door to the home that had been in our storage!

The brick wall behind the tub and shower is the original exterior wall left exposed.

Thank you Birmingham mini client for sharing your beautiful bath!
