Aesthetic Movement
An updated American Craftsman home in Arlington Virginia designed to showcase all of the best craftsman features: exposed beams, stained glass, built-in bookcases, cabinetry and window seats.
Exterior, Craftsman Bungalow
Rich Green and Red Family Room
The woodwork throughout this Craftsman home has been kept a natural wood stain. To complement it, the walls in this family room have been painted a vibrant pea green. The custom upholstery combines the green with richer red tones.
Breakfast Area, Eat-In Kitchen
The breakfast table in the large eat-in kitchen is paired with a set of camel-colored leather dining chairs, and above the table is suspended a simple linen drum pendant. The custom kitchen cabinetry, shown behind, is painted sage green, and the glazed backsplash tile is a mix of green, orange, and red.
Craftsman Kitchen
The open concept kitchen leads straight into the family room. Along the exterior wall is a work surface with an upholstered pin board with ribbon detailing.
Sage Green Kitchen Cabinetry
The shaker-style kitchen cabinetry is a stained sage, which allows the grain of the wood to show through. In contrast, the island is stained to match the wood floors. It features a copper apron sink. The Wolf double range provides plenty of cooking surface, and the custom hood matches the cabinetry seamlessly.
Kitchen Workspace
A desk surface was integrated into the kitchen to provide a convenient landing space for recipes and paperwork.
Shaker Mission-Style Dining Room
The Shaker-style dining table and chairs are elevated with upholstered walls and matching full-length drapery panels. Stained glass windows beckon back to a bygone era, while the black and brass chandelier inserts a modern influence.
Stained Glass Transom Windows
Another view of the dining space focuses on the stained glass windows, which provide beautifully filtered light.
Low Key Craftsman Living Room
The living room features a fireplace with a simplified stained mantel, and a beautifully tiled surround. A palette of greens and red is carried into this space as well. The windows are dressed with simple flat Roman shades with green banding, and the walls are covered in a grasscloth.
Tiled Fireplace Detail
The living room fireplace surround features hand-glazed tiles. Above the firebox is a series of tiles with hand-painted trees.
Rustic Powder Room
The powder room vanity features a beautiful hammered copper sink and copper faucet. Slate tile is installed on the floor and half-way up the walls. Above, a red grasscloth wallpaper introduces some texture. The wood-tiled mirror is flanked by a pair of black sconces, which mirror the vanity hardware finish.
Upstairs Window Bench
An alcove on the upstairs hall includes an arch with a built-in bench. A quilted bench cushion and matching Roman shades complete the nook.
Serene Green Master Bedroom
The Shaker-style master bed is dressed up with a custom canopy in a green fern print, which is echoed on the window shades. A pair of articulating bronze wall sconces provide reading light, and various shades of soothing green complete the space.
Master Bath Console Sinks
Instead of heavy cabinetry, the master bath is equipped with a pair of stand-along console sinks and recessed medicine cabinets. The walls are painted a soothing aloe green, and the floor tile is a basketweave pattern with combined white and green glazed tiles.
Master Bath, Freestanding Tub
Across from the sinks sits a clawfoot porcelain tub, and adjacent is an enclosed water closet and shower with coordinating green and white glazed tiles.
Playroom With Custom Playhouse
This large basement playroom includes a stunning custom playhouse and custom green cabinetry for toy storage. The mod wallpaper is another playful nod, combining the green and orange color scheme.
