The homeowners: a portrait in the interior
When Brown moved out, he sold his furniture collection except for a four-foot high, custom-made dining table. For those in need of stylish custom furniture, Brown advises turning to professional craftsmen – they’re easy to find on the appropriate sites on the Internet. This solid wood table is how he got it!

- Flooring: white oak
- Doors: Fleetwood Windows& Doors
Antique glass plus modern technology
Windows, wall and island frame are in the same style. The marble surfaces are surprisingly graceful, and the swiveling stools are one of the children’s favorite pastimes.
Above the dining table, Brown hung four vintage light fixtures. To fit in with the kitchen design, they were decorated with metal nets.
- Bar stools: Modernica
- Worktops: Linen, Caesarstone
Amazing handmade tiles
This is a home office. Lacquered gray cabinets here contrast with the graphic pattern on the wall. Leather trimmed drawer handles soften the harshness of the industrial style.
Sofa with a secret
The living room is incredibly generous. This is emphasized by long horizontal lines in the interior – red kayak oars hanging over the fireplace. Next to it – two antique armchairs and a sofa.
Unique pieces like a brass lamp from a boat from World War I, an antique walnut coffee table, a floor lamp, a bedside table with a table and a shower head, or a shower headlamp, all blend in beautifully with the furnishings.
The fireplace is decorated with very beautiful ceramic tiles Ring Fish from Arto. The circular pattern contrasts interestingly with the horizontals.
Interesting wall design
This is the room where children can play when guests come. There’s a great built-in sofa, it’s comfortable to frolic, read or watch TV.
Terrace with private man-made reservoir
Brown designed the walnut bed and nightstand. The wall in the headboard is finished in leather and features an upholstered backrest.
A tall shelving unit separates a luxurious bedroom from a study. In the study there are items dating back to the middle of the last century, but the table and sofa – modern. From this corner of the room you can see the pool.
Carpet: Serpent by Kelly Wearstler, The Rug Company.
A partition with a mirror
People who live in the house have different daily routines. Therefore, separate bedrooms and bathrooms are necessary so as not to disturb each other.
- Tiles: Porcelanosa
- Bathtub: Tulip, Wetstyle
Antique furniture and modern shelving
The sinks are decorated with calacatta marble. Elegant retro-style sconces are reflected in the mirror, creating a pleasing symmetry.
