REFINED FARMHOUSE
CALISTOGA, CA
This home, designed for cherished repeat clients and long-time friends and featured in the book At Home in the Wine Country, is a clean, contemporary rendition of the wine country’s farmhouse vernacular. Our experience designing several previous homes for these clients gave us a keen understanding of their everyday life. Their dream was a serene space with a friendly, open plan filled with light and arranged for easy, effortless entertaining—a comfortable family-friendly space that could just as easily accommodate a crowd.
The design is a perfectly-composed balance of classic and contemporary. Copious windows and broad openings complement the open floor plan to facilitate a relaxed indoor-outdoor lifestyle, a palette predominated by black and white is hip and sophisticated, and the abundance of unique and intricate interior finish millwork—an area where client and designer were in complete alignment—lend a sparkling sense of visual interest to the all-white palette. Casually elegant and effortlessly pulled together, Paulina describes this house as “barefoot and jeans, topped with a silk shirt.”
