This feature, “English Country Charm,” published in the June 2021 issue of The Cottage Journal, highlights the remarkable journey of Nashville interior designer Eric Ross as he collaborates with a client to transform her home over 15 years, resulting in three enchanting iterations that beautifully reflect her evolving style. Initially, they revamped the kitchen and bathrooms, completing the project in just six weeks. Each iteration reflects the homeowner’s evolving tastes, from bold colors to neutral palettes with subtle accents.
The latest redesign emphasizes lighter finishes, including a shimmery foyer wallcovering and a stylish leopard-print stair runner. Key spaces, like the living and dining rooms, showcase a mix of vintage and contemporary elements, with a focus on the homeowner’s cherished blue-and-white porcelain. The sunroom and kitchen maintain a harmonious aesthetic, with the outdoor dining area featuring a natural teak table. Ross’s ability to blend heirlooms and fresh designs has transformed the home into a timeless, personalized sanctuary, making it both functional and inviting for family gatherings.
“It’s always fun to take a piece someone has had for many years and reimagine it with a different finish or patina and place it somewhere new in the house so it looks completely fresh in a new environment.”
