Old Meets New

The last thing you expect when driving by this Victorian house is that when opening the front door you'll be welcome by incredibly modern and minimalist interiors. The renovation of the house, by San Antonio based Poteet Architects, is simply impeccable. Although they kept some of the original architectural details, they were brought up to date by just painting them white. The contrast between the ebony floors and the crisp walls and trims create an ideal setting to showcase all the furnishings. I'm mad about the “STAY” artwork in the living room made of roses of different shades of blue. It adds the perfect kooky touch to the space. I think it's great when old and new meet in the middle to create a harmonious home such as the Capps Residence.

Great place! I love the black wooden floors around the house, they collaborate perfectly with the white walls and furniture!
