Traditional Home in White Given a Modern Twist with Restrained Color Palette

ByMyProperty Life

A balance between the old and the new often veers towards one of the sides more prominently. Classic, stylish and filled with neutral hues that are cleverly intertwined with pops of bod color, this fabulous home feels as traditional as it does modern. Even from the outside one can easily sense the timeless appeal of the residence and a roof with terracotta tiles adds to this sense of uniqueness draped in history. Window shutters in bluish-gray bring the outdoors inside while large windows bring ample natural light into every room of the house. Fabulous drapes in every room of the house add color and print to the white spaces and add contrast to an otherwise muted setting.

Traditional home given a modern update with a picture-perfect facade that is a showstopper








Designed by Lissa Lee Hickman, the home makeover subtly adds an air of luxury to an otherwise traditional home where everything is restrained and polished. The kitchen and dining area become the new heart of the house and the color scheme remains largely unaltered from the living space to the kitchen. Exquisite blue accents make the biggest impact in the living room while shades of gray usher contrast into the kitchen. A picture-perfect home renovation!

A well-designed home should be equal parts beauty, functionality, and comfort. In achieving this result, my first and most important aspect of the creative process begins with actively listening to the client’s needs. My goal is to design timeless spaces that respect not only the architectural character of the home but also the client’s taste…

  • Music Box Residence

    The Music Box Residence was designed around the intimate and communal qualities of music and family. The steep lot, with views towards Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Rainier dictated a multi-level structure. On the lowest level, surrounded by concrete walls, resides the timpani rehearsal room. The husband, a member of the Oregon Symphony, required space and acoustic separation for practice. On the main level sits the piano studio where the wife’s students come to learn and play. Her studio opens onto the main living room and covered outdoor living area for recitals and parties. The upper level houses the couple’s children, parents, and guests. Continue up and an electronic roof hatch pivots open, revealing a rooftop deck, complete with commanding views of forest park, the city and mountains beyond. The “U” shaped plan has large volumes on both sides with a glassy two-story entry space in the middle. A long bridge, with a bamboo forest below, leads from the sidewalk to the main entry. The exterior, clad in black stained siding; reminiscent of “shosugi ban,” or charred wood, pays homage to their Japanese ancestry.
