Historic Gem
helping a Saint Anthony Park Victorian shine
This stunning hilltop 1904 Victorian was loved by just four families in its long history. With a south-facing layout, we saw a major opportunity to take advantage of ample natural light and help draw attention to historic details that are so rare these days - especially the unique stained glass and the elegant original woodwork.
Over its history, this house’s four bedrooms were fully utilized by growing families with children, juggling work from home. That made for some very packed spaces that didn’t show off the size of the large living room, dining room and bedrooms. Vacant pictures failed to capture the light or demonstrate a sense of scale.
We were brought in to make this home feel as elegant as it did the day it was built and show off all the generous proportions of every room. We used high contrast and open minimal layouts to help the photographer capture the light and show buyers how much space this house has to offer.

Before and After
the front porch:
inviting rocking chairs and careful use of color welcome buyers to a relaxed and cohesive space.
the entry foyer:
sculptural furniture and correctly proportioned art bring playful formality and a functional layout to a formerly dark and confusing space. Modern colors, textures and forms draw the eye to original woodwork and help historic features shine.
the dining room:
pops of bright green tie together old and new, drawing inspiration from the original 1904 stained glass buffet panels. Clean lines, brighter lighting, and softly reflective textures keep the space light and airy.
the kitchen:
thoughtful layout shifts transform a vintage kitchen from dark, dated, and cramped to spacious and inviting with plenty of room for both prep space and relaxed eat-in dining.
the living room:
layered lighting, fine textures, and an eclectic collection of designer pieces from across eras create a warm and inviting space that blends old and new to tell the unique story of a home that has hosted generations of families and truly stood the test of time.
the bedrooms:
unified color accents and memorable, well defined zones help demonstrate proper scale and establish a family friendly layout where each room shines as its own unique space..
