Amber Farran – Pure Home Collection – Interior Design – Home Decor – Frederick, MD

Kent

Restoring the original elegance of this lovely NW Washington home was our mission. Twenty tons of debris later, six bathrooms, a dining room, a mud room and the kitchen have been stripped to the studs and rebuilt.

With sleek modern seating, the style is hip. But, antiques scattered throughout ground our design in heritage.

A coffered ceiling and taller windows added to the new dining room provide architectural interest.

kent-kitchenweb — A traditional “bumped out” bank of windows replaced the 1970’s addition in the old kitchen. Afternoon sun now floods the beautiful new kitchen with light.

kent-kithallwayweb — The reclaimed beam over the new cooking area paired with stainless pantries and knotty alder cabinets combine city elegance and rustic charm.

Rugged refinement is the feeling when entering the new mud room.

Linen, cotton, leather and wool create visual texture in this simple yet complex master bedroom.

Vanities imported from France, Ooh la la!

Players Walk

Our clients wanted a “grown up” house for their grown up family.
Views of the golf course from the palladium window inspired the color palette for
this casual yet elegant family room.

Living Area — Comfy chairs, a stone fireplace and a big screen TV, perfect for “hanging together” after a busy work week.

Dining Room 2 — Accommodating large family gatherings as well as impromptu dinner guests with ease and sophistication is now effortless with the new Dining Room design.

The Library — The “Library” Custom shelving, well placed lighting and a mohair sofa!

Evergreen Cottage

A Vintage cottage filled with sunshine was the perfect choice for this young couple to raise their two children, but it needed to feel more modern. A few lighting fixtures and soft hues of gray fabrics and finishes infused the living areas with a cool modern feel.

Taking cues from the garden, a sunroom style dining area conjures up the image of Al fresco dining every day!

Chair&Lamps-web — An unexpected mix of modern lighting with 1930’s architecture

Horse-web — Comfy white linen slipcovers and a reclaimed parquet floor coffee table take center stage

FlowerDetail-web — Freshly cut hydrangea bouquet from the adjacent garden, simply beautiful!

KitchenCounter-web — Green Trellis pattern on the roman shades frame the garden window

Left at McArthur

This NW Washington Cape style home provides a beautiful backdrop for our artist/client’s work. The family’s collection of antiques and art provided us with a foundation that requested simple elegance. Light filled windows, linen slipcovers and velvet pillows invite you to relax and unwind.

No Ordinary Barn

This 1798 Frederick County bank barn was converted into a home in 1976. The new owners transformed the structure into a chic lakeside dwelling using classic “French” forms with casual slipcovered seating. This clever mix is a fresh twist that translates into easy living.

East of Patrick

A busy couple wanted a casual getaway where they could retreat from their hectic lifestyle. With limited time to travel or manage two households, they did the next best thing and built their new home with a “resort” attitude.

Big Design at Big Cork Vineyards

Pairing structural elements that would be found in a typical Maryland barn with clean modern furnishings, we created contrast between rustic and refined. The bright white quartz counter tops and glass chandelier are the surprise, while fumed wood finishes and concrete floors are simply appropriate.

South Mountain peaks through the northeast windows of the barn so it was a natural place for lounge and café seating. We added a layer of Echophon panels to provide additional sound absorption. Placing them in a “cloud” fashion and augmenting a few of the panels with LED lights created a stunning ceiling sculpture.
