ORCHARD AU COURANT
“The art of the mix is apparent throughout the home.”
“The firm’s signature design philosophy — which typically evokes age, charm, tradition, whimsy, warmth, detail, and worldliness.”
“From the pecky cypress ceiling to a custom rug overlay and glimmering drapes, the use of contrasting materials and textures gives the primary bedroom grand sophistication.”
“Hand-painted terracotta tiles and sheer drapery tiebacks sourced during [Ramsay Nye’s] global travels add an international touch to this elegant primary bath. ”
“Now their home reflects not only their newfound passion for personal style and beauty, but it accommodates all their needs as a busy, fun-loving family.”

A complete gut rehab of this Northville, Michigan home allowed Ramsay Nye to collaborate closely with the clients and builder to reimagine each space in a way that worked for this young family’s lifestyle. Their utmost priority was to be able to enjoy and truly live in the home — from the comfortable family room adjacent to the kitchen and keeping room to the decked out lower level with a home theater and pool table, to the outdoor living spaces, gazebo and pool. Vintage pieces, original artwork, and interesting sculptures were thoughtfully included to add the patina of time, including a vintage brutalist chandelier in the dining room, stunning artwork throughout, and curtain tie backs carried back from the designers’ trip to Morocco.
