A very light touch was needed for the renovation of this 1920s colonial revival home – here's how the designer made the original features work for modern family life

Covered porch with white furniture and garden with mature trees.

Built in 1926, this family home in Dallas, Texas, is a fine example of colonial revival architecture. The original house features beautiful traditional elements, including arched entrances and columns framing a patio located off of a glass-enclosed sunroom.

These were among the details interior designer Noel Pittman was keen to preserve as she updated the property's interior design for a close friend who was expecting her first child. A specialist in timeless, traditional, sophisticated interiors, Noel curated antiques, existing artwork, and custom upholstery to bring a fresh new perspective to this colonial style home.
