Eclectic and Colorful in Colorado
Schumacher worked with the
architects to use materials and styles that would blend with the
interior design. "The clients love that eclectic, traveled look," says
Schumacher. "Since many of the pieces in the house were their own, it
already had that almost-Old-World look."

The living room color palette
was based on the blue, orange and green hues of the custom drapery.
After falling in love with the fabric, Schumacher and her client decided
to base the rest of the living room around this organic looking
textile.
Two couches and several armchairs provide ample seating for the family and guests. Since living room is so large, finding a coffee table that would marry the space with the couches and armchairs was a challenge. At the last minute, they found a large enough table from a high-end furniture store in New York.

A golden grasscloth wall treatment echoes the organic textiles throughout the living space.

Schumacher wanted the design to
focus on the homeowners' antique furniture and art collection. In this
bar and lounge area next to the entryway, she created a welcoming space
for guests with a custom bar and beautifully worn leather sofa.

Although its design is bold,
the dining room is actually a very informal space. Schumacher and her
clients purposely designed this space as a place where the family could
just hang out, without being holed up in their own rooms.
Schumacher upholstered a bench in a classic David Hicks pattern for comfy seating on one side of the table, and used two of the clients' arm chairs at either end. Other chairs one of the homeowners found were painted a brilliant burgundy for more seating.

The clients knew right off the
bat they didn't want their home to have yet another all-white kitchen.
Although some of the cabinetry is white and white Calcutta marble was
installed on the countertops and stove backsplash, Schumacher decided to
use the island and wall space to implement bold color. The wallpaper is
a custom, hand-painted work of art from Stark. It took almost a year
for Schumacher to get the wallpaper, which was hand-painted on silk in
China.
After the wallpaper was installed, Schumacher had it sealed with Proseal, which allows the wallpaper to act as a backsplash. "You can throw spaghetti at it and it'll clean right off," she says.

The wood used for the island
countertop will patina beautifully with use. Dark wood floors draw the
eye to the custom white cabinetry and built-in refrigerator. Schumacher
decided to use traditional-style chandeliers for the island lighting,
which adds a great eclectic touch.

This cozy library and media
room is one of the homeowners' favorite rooms. Most of this furniture
belonged to them already, which gives the room a comfortable, broken-in
feel. The soft lighting and plush carpeting make it the perfect space to
watch movies or curl up with a book on the soft leather chaise.

The comfortable and soothing
master bedroom is a great example of Schumacher's go-to color palette.
"My style typically starts with a neutral backdrop," she says. "Then I
like to accessorize with pops of color in the art and textiles."

A mid-century styled vanity was
chosen for one of the home's powder rooms. Schumacher used a bold
lattice-like wallpaper in a neutral charcoal and white palette to accent
the walls. Like much of the house, this room doesn't necessarily have a
look that "goes together," but it still works in a very unique and
personal way.

Both of the clients love to
travel, so many aspects of the home were inspired by their favorite
destinations. Moroccan-shaped tiles line the shower in the master
bathroom. Although the floors are radiant heated, a lush carpet gives
the room a more lived-in feel.
