Old Meets New in This Charming 1920s Dallas Tudor

Originally built in 1925, the Tudor-style home is located in the Lakewood Heights neighborhood in Dallas, Texas, which has no shortage of beautiful landscapes and charming architecture. 

Although there isn't a dedicated entryway, the foyer connects all the main living spaces in the home, so creating an inviting environment was paramount. An antique chest anchors the space while a faux antelope-print carpet runner on the stairs and a brass and acrylic fixture overhead let the personality of the homeowners peek through.

The focus of the dining room design was to help the architectural details of the room shine while  creating a functional space for entertaining. Two Sherwin-Williams shades were used in the space: Agreeable Gray on the walls and Roman Column on trim. 

The sitting room's new drapery panels and serene paint color choices create a welcoming space for guests. Reupholstered vintage chairs don't compete with the views from the half-round windows just beyond. 

A wall of wide-open windows allows light to stream in at all angles and keeps the dark cabinets from making the space feel too heavy. Stools purchased from Round Top add an eat-in area to the kitchen. 

The red nightstands served as the color-palette inspiration for the small but mighty master bedroom. Abbe chose a luxurious velvet headboard, sleek white bedding, and an oversized lumbar pillow to make the room feel cozy without cluttering the space with accessories.
