Unique Design at the Tribeza Interiors Tour 2023, Part 2
January 26, 2023
I am so glad Austin is nice Interiors Tour of Tribeza is again after a 2 yr pandemic hiatus. On the day of the Sunday tour, I bought to see all 7 of the featured houses, in addition to having a picnic courtesy of my tour associate, inside the 5 hours allotted for the tour. Ufa! Critically, can they not begin this at 9 or 10am? We want lavatory time, planners.
Anyway, let’s kick off Half 2 of my protection (here is Half 1) with certainly one of my favourite homes on the tour, for its character and delightful finishes: a Gothic (it someway works!) South Manchaca.
Amity Worrel & Co: Home on Richmond Avenue

What can I say about this home, designed by Amity Worrel & Co.? It blew me away with character (which leans in the direction of the otherworldly and mysterious), colour, and a whimsical use of wallpaper with Austin’s personal chain sew design. lonely fort, just like the entry lobby’s Moon Snake Rhinestone sample. (Click on to see The stunning Fort Lonesome and Austin-tatious wallpaper lineupthat you may see domestically at Supply Showroom.) A white orb chandelier surrounded by fluttering moths hangs excessive on the wall just like the moon. An Egyptian bust and a pair of glowing tusks greet you on a distinct segment shelf.

You then enter an off-the-cuff eating room off the kitchen, with a watercolor-style desk (Kooijin cauldron), plush spherical chairs and a protracted upholstered stool. The identical Moon Snake Rhinestone and matching cloth wallpaper envelops the area in its moody hue and busy sample. Low on the wall, bats and bugs are framed like a taxidermy canvas.

A moon-shaped pendant hangs over the desk and teardrop-shaped sconces add extra lunar power.

The kitchen stunned me with spring inexperienced (I anticipated black) cabinetry, white tile, and white stools patterned with cerise flowers or leaves. Designer Amity Worrel (in black) greets guests within the kitchen.

The material of the stool is repeated within the wallpaper of the lounge’s excessive ceiling, drawing the attention upwards. Lilac curtains and a purple rug echo the deep pink sample on the paper. A chandelier made (I believe) of skinny, versatile strips of wooden hangs overhead, virtually like a dangling flower.

A Gothic curio cupboard anchors one finish of the room, flanked by inexperienced armchairs that appear like they might get away with their legs tucked in.

I like the couch cloth and the weird colour mixture right here – burnt orange and lilac.

As an alternative of putting off the blue wallpaper on the sting of the kitchen cupboards, the designers minimize their design and let it float below the ceiling’s botanical wallpaper. Right here, a large hallway with arched doorways invitations you to take a surprisingly lengthy hallway via the remainder of the home. I heard the designer say that this was a selected residence when the proprietor purchased it in 2021, and he or she instantly employed the design crew to remodel the clean canvas and white partitions with wallpaper and character galore.

The hallway wallpaper — lonely fort‘s Dreamland in lilac – completely accentuates the bow.

Dreamland wallpaper element

See the way it appears like threads sewn collectively? Fort Lonesome makes a speciality of customized chain sew designs on materials, clothes, pillows, and so on. Additionally they make prints of a few of their designs and switch them into artwork posters and wallpaper.

A pointed spherical mirror within the hallway displays a portrait of Sylvia Plath.

Kurt Cobain hangs subsequent to her – fellow tragic performers.

A powder tub takes a break from all of the daring wallpaper. As an alternative, black ink and a black font let the art work and lighting shine via. A portray of Jesus hangs subsequent to a glowing anatomical coronary heart lamp – the Sacred Heartskilfully evoked.

A Gothic gallery wall options Morticia Addams, Dracula, Edgar Allan Poe, a haunted home and a hairless cat. I might quickly see a resident hairless cat scowling at me, certainly one of a number of cats placidly wandering amongst strangers in her residence.

Throughout the corridor, a small workplace with black bookshelves seems once you search for and see the acid inexperienced snake wallpaper.

A front room that opens onto the hallway options colourful, summary wallpaper.

The lounge results in an enclosed porch with a concrete flooring stained pink with painted bugs, spiders and vines.

There’s the hairless cat, on the point of bounce in a purple glider with inexperienced botanical pads.

Let’s take a fast have a look at the best way we have come. This broad hallway with customized leopard print rug and daring wallpaper jogs my memory of a boutique resort with a contemporary Victorian vibe.

A small black self-importance desk in a moody front room results in the main bedroom (left) and toilet (proper).

A classic head planter holds tulips on a diamond-glazed windowsill.

Lavatory options Illuminati wallpaper and black trim.

Gown hook and watchful eyes

Within the bed room, black wallpaper with bare ladies holding palms in a circle (occult power, I believe) matches a jet-black ceiling. A daybed by the window presents extra space to loosen up.

Persevering with down the lengthy hallway, you come to a black bench and extra intriguing art work.

After which the media room comes into view, with a shiny, iridescent, scorching pink and purple ceiling above hunter-green partitions. Ka-pow!

Furnishings embody a inexperienced and black patterned sectional with coordinating shades and a ouija marble espresso desk.

Down the corridor, two kids’s bedrooms reserve a play area with a bookcase, bunny artwork and a play kitchen.

One of many kids’s bedrooms is scorching pink with tropical botanical wallpaper on the ceiling and black and white striped curtains.

The opposite options leopards frolicking on a black background.

The children’ lavatory is richly coloured with whimsical botanical and dinosaur wallpaper, purple cupboards, and scorching pink tile within the bathe.

The sink taps are purple to match. Vibrant pink hand towels add much more colour.

Artwork particulars and damaged coronary heart wallpaper

On the again door, in a bag and shoe supply space, the hairless cat was ready for me, nonetheless as a statue, observing me. Was it even actual? For a second I wasn’t certain.

Aaaah, kinda scary! It’s humorous!

One final have a look at a laundry room with runaway wallpaper and it is time to transfer on to the subsequent home. What a splendidly eccentric home this was, with no trace from its black-and-white exterior (other than a Gothic design emblazoned on the entrance driveway) of what was inside.
Kopfer Taylor Interiors: Norris Drive Home

Within the subsequent home, situated within the Zilker neighborhood and designed by Kopfer Taylor InterioresI admired a fairly eating room with a glass chicken chandelier and colourful summary work.

A mudroom options gold wallpaper with tropical natural world, framed by black armoires.

A glance into the yard reveals a big cistern in a neighbor’s yard (we noticed one other one in Half 1). Austin residents, properly, are very keen on amassing water. California gardener pals inform me there’s lots much less of that happening of their drought-stricken state, and I ponder why it hasn’t taken off there.

Extra enjoyable wallpaper in a music area of interest with information and participant, some books…

…and votive prayers for rock and roll stars.

An origami bison head hangs from a ladder.

And in a child’s room, a rocket explodes into area on an accent wall.
Avery Cox Design: Clarksville home

The final residence, within the Clarksville neighborhood, measures simply 768 sq. ft. adorned by Avery Cox Project for a “trendy bachelor,” the tiny Nineteen Twenties bungalow has loads of allure because of restored shiplap, wooden home windows and flooring, and jewel-toned furnishings and clear strains.

A velvety inexperienced banquette surprisingly seats round 8 alongside a moody peacock blue kitchen. (See the designer website for photos.)

Subway inexperienced tile and marble bathe set a chic backdrop within the compact lavatory.

Within the closet, built-in storage and a stacked washer/dryer left room for a padded window seat and a window that lets pure gentle into the cramped area.

The little home was completely full of vacationers, and I shortly retreated to the charming fenced backyard, the place a show of Italian ceramic succulents made a beautiful finish to the tour.
