Dalecki Design has recently completed the renovation of a heritage listed home that included updating the facade as well as adding a modern extension.
McNamara House is a contemporary addition to a heritage Federation-era home in Malvern East. Hidden behind the original residence, the new design embraces contrast and restraint to create a home of timeless character. The floorplan is sequenced from old to new, with the entry, bedrooms and bathrooms positioned in the original home and the kitchen, […]
A stunning open floor plan on the main level comes with three sets of double doors to the huge rear porch in this luxury Northwest house plan. Interior columns are used to separate spaces without blocking views. Homeowners have the added advantage of a private deck in the master suite so you can relax with a cup of coffee before you start your day or unwind at the end of the day. Each of the other two bedrooms on this floor have a private bathroom and there's a handy upstairs laundry room to serve all three bedrooms. The lower level has the drive-under garage, a spacious rec room and two more bedrooms plus a wine closet. NOTE: Additional fees apply when building in the State of Washington.

Jen Parrish is a phenomenal jewelry artist with a keen eye for all things beautiful and enchanting. It should come as no surprise, then, that her own home is about as Domythic a space as they come, and utterly magical. She shared a few images of her bedroom, each more gorgeous than the last! Two Parrish Relics above. What's your favorite part of your bedroom? I love the original tin ceilings, the little pillowed reading corner. There used to be bookshelves there but I took them down to drape fabric that was the same color as the walls and piled the books in a corner where I could access them better. It was a challenge moving David’s bureau into an already tiny room but somehow we made it all work. Beautiful bags above were embroidered by Medieval Muse and similar styles are available on her Etsy. Do you have any advice to share on building a collection of treasures and making it look so inherently enchanting? Ignore the “rules” and go with your emotions, surround yourself with things that make you happy or remind you of what you love out in the world. Favorite colors, textures, prints. I do like the suggestion of creating visual pyramids or triangles, and try to do that with surface decorating and sometimes on the walls as well. What's your cat Galatea's favorite part of the room? Galatea's favorite spot is on the bureau, particularly when we let Shadow up each night to try to get them used to each other. She loves sitting in the windows, watching the birds and the world go by. Any sunny spots. Her cardboard scratching box, surrounded by pink toys (her favorite!). What are some of your favorite resources? Thrift stores, yard sales, sometimes Homegoods. Loved their clearance section for damaged “parts and pieces” that I can work into something else or just hang on the wall “as is”. Many of my most cherished things are gifts from friends or my mother who is an antique dealer and knows my taste very well by now, and I’m very grateful! Interior Alchemy by Rebecca Purcell is a huge inspiration and I learned to see fabric as a great tool to divide rooms or create warmth within a space through her book. I also love The Stencilled Home for wall painting magic Framed postcard on the wall above is by Cynthia Staples and available here along with Burne-Jones designs here. More Sources: After nearly a lifetime of collecting, I have stopped completely (ok, maybe a few books here and there) until we move to a bigger house in a few years. This one is packed! Ebay is another good source obviously, as you can enter any particular search term that interests you…”William Morris” and “Gothic Revival” were always my favorites to plug in and see what treasures pop up! You never know when or where you will find something wonderful. I went to yard sales last year with my mother to try and find a bookshelf and exactly the right one was waiting for me, along with a gorgeous lion headed writing desk and the huge framed print of Waterhouse’s “Lady of Shalott” that now lives on the wall opposite the bed. All at one sale! That was an exciting, car-filling stop Thank you so much, Jen, for sharing your extraordinarily inspiring home with us!
