LA VIE EN ROSE

Situated on a quiet street in Ladue, this grand 10,000-square-foot home was completely gutted and renovated to create the client’s dream home: glamorous, light-filled, and elegant. Following an earlier update to the home in the late nineties, the previous layout was choppy and inconsistent, blocking light and hindering function in the home. 

The design team sought to rework the layout to open up walls and emphasize the windows to let in more light while simultaneously adding details to give depth, texture and sophistication to a calming tone-on-tone home. Inspired by the client’s adoration for anything glamorous and feminine, the design team incorporated these elements deep into the details.

With an emphasis on symmetry, elegance and light, stepping into this home feels like a breath of fresh air. A perfectly symmetrical and light-filled great room adorned with refined details and pink pattern play greets you as you enter the home. The ‘bar room’ sits pretty off the living room; its stylish design feels like a posh cocktail lounge. Making your way to the kitchen, a large island with impressive edge detailing and a dramatic Vadara quartz backsplash invites you in to stay awhile. 

Heading upstairs, the second floor is no different from the first. The primary suite exudes a timeless luxury that’s as much of a cozy retreat as it is an opulent work of art. Calm colors and textures add depth to the soft tones in the bedroom and a fireside vignette is a handsome yet graceful addition. The primary bathroom is clean, simple, and exudes extravagance where a sculptural plaster teardrop chandelier gracefully anchors the room. And the primary closet speaks for itself as a luxurious and glamorous addition.  

Put simply, this beautiful and refined home is a stunning masterpiece.
