This year, the House Beautiful Whole Home Concept House is tailor-made to foster work, play, and pressing pause. They also prove that building a dream home in a pandemic is possible.
In its fourth installment, we are whisked away to Texas Hill Country and land in Hidden Springs, a 750-acre “agrihood” community in Fredericksburg, Texas. House Beautiful partnered with local builder Tyler O’Brien of Agave Custom Homes to create a craftsman-inspired farmhouse that seamlessly connects to the landscape where livestock roam freely on a 30-acre nature preserve. Once the house was complete, eight top design teams were selected to help redefine what today’s ideal home should be. The results are stunning!
In celebration of the rolling Hill Country landscape, Virginia Toledo and Jessica Geller, of Toledo Geller in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey, designed the first-floor owner’s retreat with natural textures in mind. Seizing the opportunity to infuse their signature soft modern aesthetic to the space, the pair got to work adding color in a subtle, cheerful way to the master bedroom.
“For the color scheme, we're in a happy place so we added some yellow to the walls and throughout the room.” Jessica told HB. “It brings some excitement into the bedroom, but in a really calm, serene way.”
A texture and color powerhouse, Phillip Jeffries Ox Horn in Celadon, a mustard yellow natural wallcovering made of linen and paper, was chosen for the walls. Upholstery and textiles with touches of tobacco browns, milky creams, and pale pinks finished the room. The perfect respite from daily life.
