Interior Designer: 1940s Home by Angie Hranowsky

angie hranowsky living room daybed
Inviting interiors with layered patterns, pops of modern and a pinch of vintage. This is what comes to mind when I think of  interior designs by Angie Hranowsky of South Carolina. The graphic designer, turned decorator overnight when images of her home graced the pages of Metropolitan Home.  Most recently, a 1940s home decorated by Angie was featured in the May/June issue of Lonny. I live in ranch home built in 1940, so I really enjoyed seeing what she created. Here are just some of the images of the stylishly eclectic, relaxed, yet sophisticated design.

{above & below: these images of the little girl’s bedroom is one of my favorite. Perhaps it’s how the pink and tangerine toile wallcovering brilliantly hides the angles in the ceiling, the pops of black accent in the playful zebra rug and drum shades on the vintage bedside lamps or the repurposed love-seat surrounded by vintage lighting.}

Angie does an amazing job of making the spaces she designs approachable and comfortable. I loved her advice in Lonny on making every room livable:

Also, if you haven’t already, be sure to drop by Lonny to see their latest issue. It's a treat.

Originally constructed in 1927 by Gottschalk and Rist, the home provides breath-taking views of the Bay and Golden Gate Bridge. The image above was taken from the home’s living room.

The estate was purchased in the 1970s by Joseph P. Tarantino and his wife Nancy. They raised four children in the house, including fashion designer James Tarantino. Some of James’ beautiful gowns he designed are on display in the showhouse in the master bedroom closet.

For the 34th Annual San Francisco Decorator Showcase, four floors of living space in home have been completely renovated with modern, high-end appliances and finishes. The kitchen and baths have also been completely remodeled and modernized. Over thirty designers from the San Francisco Bay Area have contributed to the spectacular showhouse. The details in this home are truly amazing. I was most impressed with the flow of the home. The harmonious color palette and feel from room to room is remarkable and not typical for designer showhouses.

The tour opens to the public Saturday, April 30th, but here is a sneak peak of some of the rooms:

Guest bath and a bit of My Paris...



These are a couple of my favorite images from my last trip to Paris.. I am so excited to be going back...More about that to come this week!

Now onto business... Here is a peek at my guest bath idea board. I made this last week and it is funny because it has already had some changes. I found the perfect little dresser piece to replace the open bamboo style piece on here while I was at the flea market. I was so amazed to find exactly what I had wanted. Now it just has to be refinished and installed. I am keeping my fingers crossed that my vision is going to work!

What do you think?  This is just a shell really - there are some missing details but when it comes to my house I am a little more design as you go.


Also, don't miss your chance to win from Shabby Apple!!

Powder room makeover...


I am mid bath redesign for our Powder room right now. We decided on a whim to pull everything out and now I am scrambling to get all the pieces back together. I think I am almost there... I really need to put together a board and see how it all works.. So funny how you do the work for others but cannot quite seem to do it for oneself..

Happy Wednesday all!

The natural progression...



Too bad it's Monday and we cannot stay in bed all day or linger that extra few minutes in the shower...  But just think we are making our way towards another weekend!  

Hope your week is off to a great start!

Thank you to Leigha

Recent Project: Cottage Style Home


We are THIS CLOSE to being finished with this beautiful new home.  There are just a few more details to be finished, such as mirrors and miscellaneous cabinet hardware.  I did this project through Arendal Kitchen Design, with Interior Designer Scott Andersen.  Scott does amazing work - I admire his attention to detail in every part of every project.  And I especially admire his taste in light fixtures.  Every light fixture in this house is a "wow" piece that is a work of art in itself and truly MAKES the house.  Of course, the cabinetry is pretty fabulous too (patting myself on my back).  The kitchen is my favorite - the white inset cabinets with custom glass transoms and custom hood are simple yet beautiful.  And they pair so well with the classic marble and limestone tops and subway tile backsplash.
