VICTORIAN RESIDENCE
St. Paul, Minnesota
ONGOING
A full interior renovation of a 1906 Victorian residence focused on restoring cohesion, warmth, and livability while honoring the home’s historic character. Through updated finishes, layered materials, collected furnishings, and subtle architectural interventions, the project transformed an outdated interior into a calm, intimate, and emotionally grounded living environment.
PROJECT DETAILS
-
Years of inconsistent updates had fragmented the home’s original character through mismatched finishes, flooring, colors, and detailing.
The project explored how subtle interventions could restore continuity while preserving the warmth and individuality of the existing architecture.
The long floorplan created opportunities to introduce variation and emotional pacing while maintaining an overall sense of cohesion.
-

-
Every interior surface was updated, including flooring, paint, lighting, hardware, switch plates, vent covers, and millwork details.
Historic-inspired muted tones and layered materials created a softer and more cohesive visual language throughout the home.
Antique, estate sale, and consignment furnishings were used throughout the project to reinforce warmth, patina, and collected living.
Distinct spatial moods were created across the long floorplan while maintaining continuity between rooms.
Design direction, construction coordination, vendor management, and installation oversight were managed directly throughout the renovation process.
