OH BY GOSH BY GOLLY!
It’s time for Mistletoe and Holly Ruch’s Hi-Gloss Red Bar!
It’s that time of year again, where the air is filled with merry melodies and the spirit of celebration. And what better way to embrace the holiday cheer than by stepping into Holly Ruch’s Hi-Gloss Red Bar? With its gleaming gold leaf interiors and the exquisite touch of Lee Jofa papers adorning the ceiling, this little jewel box is ready to open and sing! Its vibrant red hue beckons you to indulge in the warmth and merriment that any festive season can bring.
From crown to baseboard, every inch of the walls and cabinets underwent an extensive process of priming, sanding, skimming, priming once again, puttying, and sanding yet again, until they were perfectly smooth and prepared for the application of lacquer. The chosen hue of red, is not a bold primary red, but rather a softer and inviting aura reminiscent of ripe, succulent tomatoes. The color was inspired by the elegant Lee Jofa paper used on the ceiling. Holly meticulously explored numerous paint color families until she ultimately landed on the perfect match: a captivating shade from Farrow & Ball known as Incarnadine.
Perspective: As you step from the bar area, into the adjacent coat room and proceed through the naturally lit back hall, you find a breathtakingly spacious new Primary Suite. The opulent display of vibrant red lacquer showcases its striking contrast against the pristine whites. This is where luxury and classic elegance intertwine seamlessly.
The Color: A classic crimson
Our richest crimson originally takes its name from Latin, but is now a much used term for crimsons and reds. Similar to the deep glossy red used by David Hicks at Barons Court in the 1970s, Incarnadine is unashamedly classic and glamorous. It can be used to sumptuous effect in halls when offset with Tanner’s Brown on woodwork, or feel more edgy and graphic when paired with a bright white.
Details: Ellen Peete with Guilford Plumbing Supply, a seasoned professional with extensive knowledge in plumbing fixtures and design, played a crucial role in the Ruch family's search for the ideal fixtures for this space. This remarkable hammered sink and faucet paring effortlessly elevates the overall ambiance.
