And functional. In the kitchen, the charcoal cabinets and aged iron hardware bring a rustic feel to the space. The marble countertops and limestone colored walls add warmth to the space. All these elements pay homage to napa, while indulging in modern comfort. The goal was to preserve the indoor and outdoor feel through natural colors. The main furniture pieces in the space are made from belgian linen and the pops of colors by decorative pillows and access trees. Hi, im joe lucas from lucas studio, and welcome to the formal dining room at the napa valley showhouse. We didnt want a very serious, serious room, but we definitely wanted a little bit of a glamour factor. So we started with darker walls that gives depth to the room, really draws your focus outside to the win re and vineyards. But then we mixed patterns and color. We have a beautiful parquet walnut dining table we had custom made mixed with a playful wicker chair. Big piece of modern art on the wall brings in some color. And then over here, we created a small seating area so you can enjoy a glass of wine before din e sit on the comfy couch, big thick nail heads gives a hint towards the more rustic lifestyle in napa. Same for the chandelier. Overscaled to give the smaller dining room a little bit more of a pop. Its a play on scale, a mix of color, and i think it gives a really nice space to sit and enjoy a glass of wine and enjoy the napa lifestyle. Hi, my name is melanie with cottington design. Were in the guest suite. Wine furniture doesnt have to be made from wine barrels. Ive taken my style here which i consider to be creating liveable spaces that are chic with just the right amount of glam. The wow moment are these made to resemble swans wings and add natural elements in the room. Some other fun elements include the gilded stump table and the bird print on the bed. I created two main upholstered pieces in the room. The custom bed and custom setee. They have a 1940s era feeling which i love. Overall, the room feels charming, relaxing and isnt over the top. Hi, my name is melanie turner, im the interior designer for the master bedroom here at the napa valley showhouse. We wanted to create an intimate and timeless interior for the master bedroom. We did this by juxtapositioning classic with contemporary, old and new, airy and intimate with light and dark elements. A great example is the soft, modern lines of the sofa and the bed. Married with the painted italian chest. The room exemplifies a rural and refined look, just like napa valley itself. Thank you for taking the tour.

This fivebedroom home has a guest house, pool and even a virtual golf course. Hi. Im mac patterson, architect for this project in darrion, connecticut at 112 pear tree point. Im excited to show you around, so lets go take a look. This home is located on two acres overlooking the harbor in darian, connecticut. Consisting of 7,500 square feet, our design approach on the project was to evoke a 1900s cottage on the water. The family room is really the core of the entire house. It has access to the front porch, tremendous bar at the back of the room. Fireplace, tv set and, of course, at the end of it, the view. The dining room is a nicesized room. Comfortable for the expanded family meals. But what i really find interesting about the room is the glass wall between the family room and the dining room, which provide views to the water. One of the requirements was an extensive outside kitchen with two types of barbecues, smokers, refrigerators, the rear yard as well has a swimming pool, spa, covered porch, outside fireplace. This is the guest house. Contrary to the old joke, your guests will never want to leave. The guest house has private bedroom, private bath, kitchenette, fireplace, and it doubles as the pool house for the pool and spa. But there is something extraspecial here that i would like to show you. When your golf club is closed, this one is open yearround. This master bedroom has everything you need. Big views of the water, private balcony, wonderful bathroom, his and her sinks and a big, generous closet with dressing area. With this house, we hope to evoke the quiet elegance of a 1900 shore house. And i believe we have succeeded. I hope you have enjoyed your peek inside. Up next, were in l. A.

Next interior designer carol poet takes us inside a mediterranean masterpiece originally built in the 1920s. She shows how she merged the old with the new while integrating an impressive art collection. Hello and welcome. My name is carol poet. Im going to walk you through a house that is a mediterranean revival built in about the early 1920s. The clients are very serious art lovers and art collectors. The example of this is this niche we created that holds this very large sculpture. This is the main salon of the house. When i first saw the house, there was a very large walkin fireplace at that end. And i said, what if we take that fireplace and put it in the middle of the room and build a bar at that end of the room . And this is what the bar became. And its a wonderful, large bar, with all of the latest amenities, including a glassfront, walkin wine refrigerator. And this is the wall where the art first arrived. And its in constant change. In juxtaposition to this wonderful old italian table, and a pair of very serious chairs. And this is the family room. And on plan, this was supposed to be the dining room. But at the 11th hour, the clients decided to flip the room. And i think they decided that because there are beautiful french doors surrounding the end of this room. We decided to add large coffers on the ceiling, and they are made out of walnut. We brought the walnut down into panels around the television, and the television as you can see, fits very, very flush into these panels. I selected this model because it has a very warm color in it. And that influenced the finish and the color on all of the walnut in the room. The clients asked this room be a very relaxed room. So the table, for example, is very rugged. It has pullout trays. And as i was designing this furniture, of course i had to make these chairs swivel, so they swivel around to the large screen. And this is the dining room. And as you remember, this used to be the family room on plan. But it makes a wonderful dining room, because it has a small patio at one end and a fountain and soft sounds of the fountain really add. We always knew we want wanted to have the room built around a very important art piece that the clients owned. And i took the colors from the piece, went to the marble yard and found this wonderful marble that is a soft green color from which this whole coloration stems. Thank you for joining me. And i hope you can see how beautifully art and design come together. Still ahead, were on the hunt for a new york city apartment upgrade. And up next, a 10,000 squarefoot chicago home.

Certainly you can have lots of family members here or sports aaficionados to watch the game. Welcome to my green kitchen. I say its my green kitchen, because ive always dreamt of having a kitchen this large, this size, and with all of these wonderful appliances in it. This whole counter is a dream for a home cook, for the cate r caterere catererers, because they have plenty of space. Underneath is storage too. The stone on the floor actually continues all the way through to the pantry, the breakfast room and then goes on into the family room. So its basically a very, very functional kitchen. Its a dream kitchen. We have now entered the dining room, which is 23 x 15. Very, very spacious. Theres one table in here now that you can see. But you could always put tables, if you had a larger dinner party here and have all your guests in one room. Its great, absolutely gorgeous venetian chandelier. This living room was a room that probably went through the most transition. Love bringing nature inside. I think its soothing, i think its calming. Its how i live, and i hope other people do too. I took these windows down to the floor, and you will notice theres no drapes. The fireplace here, actually the panelling is taken off a nantucket house. This is a wonderful room for entertaining.
