Step into the enchanting world of Chloe Wilde ' s remarkable renovation project , where a 123-year-old schoolhouse was magically transformed into a serene retreat for urban dwellers seeking solace in nature ' s embrace . Together with her partner Ben Johnston , Chloe undertook the challenge of designing a space that harmoniously blended contemporary modern aesthetics with rustic charm . The result is an awe-inspiring oasis that seamlessly combines visual allure with practicality .
Chloe and Ben ' s vision was to create an inviting haven that beckons guests to unwind by the fireplace with a good book , while evoking a sense of awe . The schoolhouse design encompasses contemporary modern elements while maintaining the timeless charm of its historical roots .
Upon entering , one ' s gaze is drawn upwards to the stunning stained-glass fan , a reminder of the home ' s century-old heritage . The A-frame interior structure adds to the captivating ambiance , while the large windows invite abundant natural light to flood the space , casting enchanting patterns throughout the day . Warm yellows , burnt oranges , butterscotch brown , oatmeal , and pops of metallic gold hues create a harmonious color palette that exudes both elegance and comfort .
Chloe and Ben carefully curated a collection that seamlessly blends contemporary and vintage pieces . Wicker chairs from West Elm and a captivating milk bulb chandelier from CB2 add a modern touch , while unique vintage finds sourced from various markets and secondhand stores infuse the space with character .
