Waterstone’s recent appearance in House Beautiful’s April/May 2020 issue is too gorgeous not to share. Grace Mitchell, an interior designer and star of HGTV’s One of a Kind, showcased her renovated home in the Color Issue, an apt theme to feature the eclectic home. The four-bedroom Fort Worth house was built in 1919, which brought forth a long list of obstacles. But Mitchell loved the original period details of the home, built in an era when craftsmanship could be found in the smallest of details. Intent on honoring the era, when the back porch became too destitute to function, she decided to replace it with a garden room based on a set of 1920s plans she acquired from eBay. The plant-filled room has herringbone concrete floors that bring an indoor-outdoor element to the space right off the kitchen. The home is a perfect balance between old and new, with many antique pieces used throughout and balanced out by contemporary and glamorous design elements. The kitchen is arguably the most modern room in the house with its white cabinetry, white and grey tile backsplash and marble countertops. Unsurprisingly, there is a bright pop of color found in the antique steel window frame, painted in the same minty green that covers the millwork in the entry hallway. In front of the window is a farmhouse style sink and our very own Traditional Towson Faucet and accessories, including our Traditional Side Spray and the Annapolis Filtration Faucet. The suite is the perfect vintage addition while our Satin Brass finish is a particularly luxurious offering in the kitchen’s transitional design.
