The client’s fascination with the colors and detail of period Victorian homes was the impetus for this more modern interpretation of a Second Empire Victorian. The client always loved the style of the house from the "Adams Family" television show.

Period wall covering on the ceiling and walls set the tone upon entering the home. The orignal color scheme had more earth tones, but the client loved the color blue.

The stairwell and skylight occupy the center volume of the house, allowing natural light to filter throughout the interior. Playful details abound - undulant baluster collars interject a sense of movement and rhythm to the staircase. The "triple bead" beadboard paneling was inspired by paneling found in an old structure on the property.

Romeo and Juliet windows open into the arched ceiling, looking down to the second floor loggia and entry hall below. The wall colors get lighter in tone as they approach the skylight.
