Century-Old Minneapolis Tudor Gets a Chic, Tonal Glow-Up

With swoon-worthy shades of blue that complement the homeowner’s Royal Copenhagen china collection and deepen into rich plum and walnut, this home’s graceful architecture now plays host to equally curvaceous furniture and sumptuous textiles.

Gray Transitional Kitchen With Dark Wood Trim

Dark wood-framed windows are focal points in this transitional kitchen. The cabinets are painted a pale gray and an area rug adds another subtle splash of color to the room. The kitchen has high-end appliances, lots of storage and plenty of counter space for meal prep.

Architectural Details Add Interest to Neutral Transitional Living Room

Heather Peterson Designs stayed true to the bones of this 1930's Tudor in Minneapolis, centering the home around the client's collection of Royal Copenhagen china and love of tonal spaces. Shades of blue-green run throughout the space, shifting into deep tones of plum and walnut in the back hall and powder room. They play into the arches with curvy furniture and bubbly light fixtures. The stained glass windows were custom-designed with architects Tea2 (who masterfully redesigned the layout), selecting each element down to the specific panes of glass. Heather loves working with family pieces, like the desk and chair in the front window. She repaired and reupholstered the chair and gave the lamp a new life with a shirred shade–and the dining room.
