The Sparta Sanctuary

At Butter & Velvet, we believe a home should be as functional as it is beautiful. Our latest 2025 completion, the Smith Project, is a masterclass in transitional design—blending timeless architectural details with modern, high-end comforts.

Heart of the Home: A Light-Filled Kitchen & Dining Space

The centerpiece of this renovation is the open-concept kitchen and dining area. We focused on a crisp, bright palette to maximize the natural light pouring in from the garden-view windows.

Designer Lighting: Striking gold pendant lights over the island serve as the "jewelry" of the room.

Seamless Flow: The transition from the white cabinetry of the kitchen to the warm wood tones of the dining table creates an inviting atmosphere for family gatherings.

Sophisticated Comfort in the Living Room

The living area was designed for both relaxation and formal entertaining.

Architectural Interest: We highlighted the fireplace with a custom mantle and flanked it with built-in shelving, providing a perfect stage for the client’s curated decor.

Textural Balance: True to our name, we incorporated soft, plush seating (look for those velvet touches!) to contrast against the clean lines of the coffered ceilings.

Bringing the Vision to Life

This 2025 project showcases how thoughtful planning can transform a traditional layout into a modern sanctuary. From the detailed millwork to the custom lighting, every element was chosen to reflect this special family's unique style.
