In addition to completing the general renovation, a number of baths, and the nursery, Julie Laux, owner of J. Jordan Homes, even designed a bowling alley. But the home was not without its age-specific challenges, with lighting being one of the most universal. “Each of the spaces presented their own unique challenges,” she says of her approach. “Lighting was a challenge throughout the home as the walls are plaster and lathe so [it was] very difficult to move anything. We found many workarounds to bring the home up to today's standards of living!”
Designers faced the lighting challenge in their own ways, all while balancing old and new throughout their chosen rooms. Says Brandolino of her approach to her self-described “gentleman's office”: “We wanted to incorporate a vintage feel to keep with the character of the home but with a modern twist to the space.” She opted for Provenance® Woven Wood Shades “because we loved the warmth and texture it brought to the space, the convenience of being powered, the classic look of a Roman shade, and [that] it allows for some light to come through during the day.”

“But the truly stellar moment,” she shares, “is the top-down/bottom-up orientation of the shade that lets us enjoy the light while also blocking the unattractive views of the rooftop. Adding on the motorized element just took this particular design element to another level. Win-win!”
