Fort Worth Residence
Fort Worth, TX — 2025
A layered, light-filled interior where blues and greens unfold across rooms with ease, balancing whimsy and restraint. Reworked for flow and connection, each space feels distinct yet effortlessly tied together, creating a home that moves as beautifully as it lives.
“Much thought went into designing the kitchen, which was relocated to what was once an outdoor living area in order to give it a clear sightline to the pool. Converting the space required painstaking attention to detail to avoid floor-height changes and visible structural remnants, allowing the space to integrate seamlessly with the existing architecture both inside and out. Now, a hand-painted vine mural by Marnie Vollenhals winds across the ceiling, a poetic nod to the room’s alfresco origins.” - House Beautiful
Butler's Pantry off of the main kitchen keeps it clutter-free in what was once the footprint of the original kitchen. Offering extra prep surfaces, appliances, and plenty of bonus cabinetry. Featuring a textural wallcovering on the ceiling combines with a forest-inspired print on the walls; the Blue Star appliances were color-matched to coordinate.
The shelving unit of the Guest Suite boasts a hidden surprise, meant to double as a lounge, this discrete guest suite reveals nothing of its functionality until the custom storage opens to expose a hidden Murphy bed.
The Play room offers ample storage and whimsical details act as the backdrop to childhood magic with custom built-ins. “There’s a desk for coloring, tons of storage for toys, books, and even a concealed TV,” says Bridget. “Right outside the room on the sunporch sits a table and chairs for playing games, doing a puzzle, or enjoying a snack.”
Quieter moments settle into softness. Bedrooms and private rooms lean into calm palettes, tactile materials, and subtle detail, offering a more intimate expression of the home’s character that feels both personal and restorative.
The Primary Suite was reconfigured to achieve a more open, functional space. The bathroom was previously part of the primary closet; now, a custom vanity and distinguished millwork. The primary bedroom opens up to vaulted ceilings accented by painted beams.
"The family’s eldest son loves to hunt and fish, so the TIEK BYDAY team incorporated subtle nods to his pastimes into the bedroom. A refined palette and classic details ensure the space will grow with him as he ages."
Powder Bath with orchre wallpaper from Zoffany and finishing the space with antique accents, like a vintage Venetian mirror and lacquered vanity.
“When our client said she felt like she spent the most time at home in the laundry room, we knew not only was the closet-sized existing laundry not going to cut it, but it also had to be fabulous,” says Bridget.
