HISTORIC ST. LOUIS RESIDENCE
“[Ramsay Nye] shakes up a storied 1912 gem in St. Louis, Missouri, injecting color, prints, and contemporary art while seamlessly slipping these finds inside a classic, elegant envelope.”
“Although these rooms are connecting spaces, Tami and Krista made sure that each one presents its own special identity with varying palettes and furniture styles, unique lighting, and decorative accents.”
“Think unparalleled decorative molding restored to its splendor, incredible mahogany paneling and wainscoting gleaming like new, and intricately detailed glass-paned doors and windows once again letting in the light.”
“Throughout the house, the designers continued to walk this carefully calibrated line between celebrating the home’s innate character while making it feel more in the here and now.”

Originally built in 1912 in St. Louis, Missouri, this remarkable architectural home underwent a significant renovation in collaboration with Bower Leet Design. Ramsay Nye oversaw the complete renovation and decoration of the 15,000 square foot residence, alongside the restoration of important architectural elements such as millwork, plaster moldings, and elaborate ceiling details. The meticulous attention to detail is clear upon entering the foyer, which showcases a striking silk wallcovering, an antique Murano chandelier, and a lacquered zebrawood center table. The dining room features a bespoke, hand-painted chinoiserie wallpaper in the client's preferred buttery yellow, incorporating the Missouri state tree, flower, bird, and butterfly. As avid entertainers with a penchant for vibrant dinner parties, Ramsay Nye created a design narrative that ensured the various common rooms had distinct personalities, so guests could feel transported.
