Seattle Tudor Revival Receives Charming Makeover

A vintage Tudor revival in Seattle receives a 21st-century makeover, preserving its charm while making it a stylish abode for a family.

Designer Lisa Staton incorporated her clients' existing Camerich sofas into the living room of their reinvigorated Seattle Tudor Revival. Bold lighting energizes the space, including Circa Lighting sconces and a Serge Mouille fixture overhead. The custom coffee table stands atop a multicolored rug from Driscoll Robbins Fine Carpets.

The play between traditional and contemporary forms found throughout the home is apparent in the reconfigured family room. Here, a custom sofa in a plush velvet veers in a classic direction while the Le Corbusier chair, a vintage Pace Collection coffee table and a pair of armchairs from Big Daddy's Antiques skew modern. Soft color and pattern come from the antique Turkish carpet from Tasdemir Rugs and a stool from Susan Wheeler Home.

Moe's host chairs with brushed-gold details join a set of Wishbone chairs from France and Son around the dining room's Crate & Barrel table. A pair of Circa Lighting sconces flank a photograph by Deb Achak from Winston Wachter Fine Art.

In the kitchen, builder Scott Johnston installed the new soapstone countertops and backsplash from Meta Marble & Granite and fabricated by ProGranite Surfaces; Arnada Company crafted the cabinetry. The farmhouse-style sink has a Kohler faucet.

A work in indigo and gold on paper by Brook Perdigon from Seattle Art Source (to the right of the window) overlooks the reconfigured kitchen, where Lambert & Fils pendants light the island. CB2 supplied the cabinet hardware and counter stools, and the Viking range and Sub-Zero refrigerator are from Albert Lee.

The airy office opens out to a garden by landscape designer Karen Stefonick and installed by Tri-Scape Landscaping. A vintage chair pulls up to a Blu Dot table, which yields plenty of space to work. Rounding out the furnishings are a carpet from Tasdemir Rugs, a chair from The Citizenry and a CB2 ceiling fixture.

To update the Tudor Revival home in Laurelhurst, it was painted in a crisp white accented with black trim to match the metal windows. The Union Lighting and Furnishings lanterns reference historical precedents but have a pared-down appearance that hints at the mix of modern and vintage elements within.

Pindler fabric dresses the master bedroom's custom bed frame. The grouping stands on a Moroccan-style carpet from Driscoll Robbins Fine Carpets. Light comes from a West Elm table lamp and a George Nelson fixture that Staton says, "hangs like a glowing harvest moon over the bed."

Glimpses of the Cascades and Lake Washington are visible from the master bedroom's seating area, which features a pair of Camerich armchairs and an ottoman, all from Alchemy Collections. The swing-arm light is from CB2.
