| Abstract: |
This article focuses on the interior design transformation of a well-preserved 1940s brick Colonial home in Richmond, Virginia, undertaken by local designer Lizzie Cox for her brother Richard Cullen and his family. Emphasizing preservation over renovation, Cox enhanced the home's original character with rich colors, whimsical wallpapers, and curated artwork while maintaining its closed floor plan and structural integrity. Key design elements include personalized bedrooms for the children, a cozy breakfast nook wrapped in patterned wallpaper, and a sunroom that blends indoor and outdoor spaces. The project balances functionality for a family with young children and pets alongside aesthetic touches that reflect the family’s tastes and the home’s historic charm. [Extracted from the article] |
