Mountain Sanctuary

This spacious mountain home was originally built with Tuscan-style architecture, including arched doorways and heavily textured walls in yellow and gold tones. With its idyllic location and views, the new homeowners knew it could be transformed into their dream home with the help of Rumor Designs. Our client’s design taste lean more modern with clean lines and a neutral color palette. However, they were also open to contemporary colorways, bold wallpaper, and a mix of traditional touches that worked together, resulting in a bright and playful mountain sanctuary.

The biggest change from the renovation was the layout. With the expertise of Mountain Architecture, we removed several walls to achieve an open concept and allow for more space in the kitchen. Also, the indoor pool was removed and repurposed as a family room. One of our favorite design elements are the new windows, all of which were replaced with simple black mullions. This was a smart design decision that transformed the entire look of the exterior to a true mountain modern aesthetic. 

Throughout the home, we incorporated modern furniture styles and textiles to achieve clean lines as the foundation to the design. The added points of interest were graphic, textured wallpaper in the powder bath and bedroom for an overall laid back, easy-going vibe. The black and white floor tiles in the primary bathroom are a beautiful hand-painted design which adds an organic feel in contrast to the bold turquoise shower tile.

Unfortunately, the biggest design challenge was the timing of the project during a pandemic. This meant a shortage of subcontractors, a longer timeline than expected, as well as delayed shipping of materials and furniture. Our clients were extremely patient while waiting a year for the last few pieces of furniture to arrive and complete the design. We all agreed, it was worth the wait and our clients finally feel at home.
