A historic 1918 Craftsman Bungalow features a beautifully remodeled dining room with contemporary updates by Sarah Barnard Design. By utilizing and restoring pieces original to the property, Sarah preserves the home's traditional aesthetic while introducing modern elements to create something personalized and unique. The fresh blue wall color modernizes the otherwise traditional dining room complementing the deep redwoods of the vintage furniture.

An original built-in cabinet, a collection of art objects, a vintage dining table, and a contemporary chandelier sing together in harmony. A ceramic bust by artist Deborah Cansler rests atop an original antique cabinet with plenty of display space for the homeowner's eclectic treasures. An arrangement of wild blue thistles in a ceramic vessel made by artist Nashua Alfaro creates the perfect centerpiece.

Luxurious tapestries in vibrant shades of forest green, chartreuse and burgundy adorn the walls of this Tudor revival dining room. Cotton velvet draperies in a saturated burgundy tone connect with the tiny berries in the woodland wall upholstery. The room's focal point, an antique dining table, is accompanied by six antique side chairs which were re-finished and re-upholstered along with two custom made armchairs to complete the dining room set.

Utilizing original details and restoring antiques within the property creates an updated contemporary home design while preserving the estate's traditional aesthetic. With a custom color by Fine Paints of Europe, the original wood wainscotting is transformed. The antique dining table top was restored to a brilliant finish while intentionally preserved the base's unique patina. Custom armchairs were created to blend effortlessly with the original antique side chairs. The crystal chandelier in the dining room was also original to the property and was restored.
