SILVERLEAF SCOTTSDALE
Location: SCOTTSDALE, AZ
This stylish home is nestled in a private community in Scottsdale, Arizona. We were involved in an extensive remodel and selected all interior finishes. This is the fourth home we have done for these clients who have several in different parts of the country.
At the owner’s request, we used colors to reflect the region of the home in the Sonoran Desert. We did an interesting mix of traditional pieces and antiques while still maintaining a modern-day aesthetic. The clients also wanted to showcase their carefully curated art collection.

The Results
One of our first selections was the detailed patterned tile package. The clients wanted very special custom tiles for the kitchen, all bathrooms, utility room, and tiled stair riser detail for a particular statement in each room. We designed two exceptional fireplace mantles and a kitchen cook top hood that are definite focal points. The designs created are in an interesting mix of brick, chiseled rock, limestone and plaster. We loved the results!
We focused on specialty lighting for all chandeliers and sconces. They are a mix of antiques and custom designed hand forged pieces. We chose wide plank distressed oak for the richly stained hardwood floors. We also designed some accordion style exterior doors in the Living Room that open up the home to the beautifully designed garden. We chose a soft ivory for the walls that provides an amazing backdrop for their art collection and maintains a bright feeling in each room.
The colors for upholstery and drapery are in natural earth tones that mirror the desert landscape. Fabrics selected are textured chenilles, Belgium linens, raw silks, rich cut velvets, and patterned cottons. All the area rugs were custom designed and made with interesting tribal and ethnic geometry. These create wonderful showpieces that anchored the placement of furniture in each room. Carefully selected upholstery and case goods are new and antique to make for a nicely blended collection.
Some final choices of textured grasscloths in key places draw interest. Draperies are soft and relaxed and are perfect for the completed look. The clients love visiting this home with friends and family and relaxing in their new beautiful surroundings.
