When Annie first wrote about the neo-Gothic renovation of a historic house in Omaha, Nebraska, she noted the way in which the Brooklyn-based firm, Ridge House, was able to at once preserve and modernize the space. White walls? Nope. Bright brass fixtures? Not even close. While bucking all design trends du jour, Ridge House layered shades of gray and dark wood with original fixtures and antique furniture. Here we detail their exact sources, where applicable, and a few of our own look-alikes for a similar effect overall.
Above: The dining room is painted in Sherwin Williams Iron Ore (7069). Above: For similar window hardware, Restoration Hardware’s Estate Metal collection features the above Ball Finials in oil-rubbed bronze; $75 for a set of two. Above: Similar heavy curtains in pale gray can be found in the Italian Cotton Velvet Rod Pocket Drapery in Fog starting at $419 per panel at Restoration Hardware.
Furniture
Above: Found new, the Michael Thonet Era Chair with a wood seat in the dark brown Coffee color is $245 at Design Within Reach. Above: Source a drop leaf antique table for something similar to the one seen in the dining room. The above Antique 19th Century Mallorca Table is at MARCH.
Above: For a small antique-looking sofa, the John Derian Meadow Sofa comes in a similar blue upholstery, Rye Midnight Blue; $5,310 at John Derian.
