Glen Oaks Transitional Remodel

January 9, 2017 By Jillian

We were hired by the clients to coordinate the finishes, fixtures, furniture and design elements for their massive whole house remodel in the gated Glen Oaks community located in the city of West Des Moines. Spanning multiple years, the project touched nearly every room in the 10,000 square foot residence.

Our vision was to create a modern home inspired by the traditional architecture of the home. We used a neutral palette with a variety of rich textures such as wool, grasscloth, mohair, and linen and added mixed metallics, like oil-rubbed bronze, antiqued brass, and polished nickel, for an eclectic feel.

R. Cartwright supplied the furniture, rugs, lighting, artwork and accessories throughout the home. For a closer look at other projects completed with this client, please see our Guest House portfolio.

As part of the extensive, whole house remodel, the home theater was opened up to the rest of the lower level. Adjacent to the billiards area, the dark and masculine space features menswear-inspired touches like pinstriped gray wool wallcovering, tufted leather chesterfields, and plaid upholstered mid-century style arm chairs. The custom, two-tone cocktail table anchors the seating arrangement and sits on a geometric hair-on-hide rug.

A mini-gallery of geometric artwork hangs on dark gray wool, pinstriped wallpaper reminiscent of men's suiting. A collection of custom throw pillows sit on a modern interpretation of the traditional Chesterfield, upholstered in dark gray leather with a brass nailhead trim.

A pair of mid-century style arm chairs and ottomans were upholstered in a large scale gray and brown plaid, continuing the menswear inspired theme in the lower level theater room. Cylindrical brass accent tables are the perfect spot to rest a cocktail.

A custom designed pool table is flanked by open back sofas, allowing guests to easy access to conversation on all sides of this open plan lower level.

The lower level kitchen is open to the pool table and family room and designed for entertaining. The professional gas range is topped with a custom hood framed in a marble and shiplap surround. The island features a stainless steel waterfall countertop and two over scale metal shade pendants in oil rubbed bronze.

The back side of the island is paneled in white shiplap to visually connect it with the walls framing the custom stainless hood and gas range.

The lower level kitchen island features a two inch thick, stainless steel countertop with waterfall sides. The cabinetry on the far wall is framed in custom fabricated steel with a hand-applied black finish. The backs of the floor to ceiling open cabinets are cerused oak.

The bar is housed in custom-designed cabinetry, which combine a specially fabricated steel frame and steel and glass cabinet doors. Cerused oak panels conceal the built-in, counter-depth refrigerator. A keg fridge is nestled in between steel columns and topped with white marble and floating oak shelves. Glass shelves provide ample storage for barware and spirits.

Metallic grasscloth wallpaper and a coffered ceiling in high contrast white and dark gray distinguish the lower level family room from the rest of the open concept space.

New Vintage Home

June 8, 2016 By Jillian

Collected, Layered, Family

Filled with Southern charm and classic detailing, this Ankeny home combines country-chic elements with sophisticated fabrics and finishes. R. Cartwright Design consulted with the owners of this new-build home from the beginning of their project – providing finish and paint selections, trim recommendations, flooring, lighting and ideas for architectural detailing. We mixed new furnishings, weathered finishes, and vintage and new accessories to give the home a layered and collected feel that is timeless in its design.
