In a recent home renovation project, Stacy Brewer of The Holly and Ivy Home embarked on a mission to transform an ordinary hallway into a captivating and sophisticated space. With a keen eye for design and a passion for blending classic and contemporary elements, Stacy sought to elevate a frequently overlooked area of her home. The project culminated in a stunning entryway that not only reflects her personal style but also highlights the transformative power of meticulous design choices, particularly the partnership between Nostalgic Warehouse and The Holly and Ivy House's door hardware.
Stacy's renovation of her front hallway was a multi-faceted endeavor. She introduced wall molding, painted all the trim and doors a dark gray, and added a washable rug with a diamond pattern. An antique reproduction mirror, a framed tea towel repurposed as art, and a custom air return vent further enhanced the space. The project reached a new level of sophistication with the installation of new door hardware. Choosing Nostalgic Warehouse's New York backplates and Waldorf crystal knobs, Stacy created a dramatic and elegant look that perfectly complemented the new design. The project’s success was affirmed when her husband commented that out of all their home improvement projects, the addition of the doorknobs is his favorite one!
Stacy describes her personal style as "new traditional with a pinch of southern charm," a blend of classic design elements used in fresh and unexpected ways. Her home is a testament to this aesthetic, featuring damask wallpaper, a collection of blue and white Chinoiserie ceramics, dark woods, and a plate wall showcasing her grandmother's china. She finds joy in timeless design elements and avoids fleeting trends, creating a home that feels both historically rich and uniquely hers.
The Holly and Ivy Home, which began as a platform for showcasing Christmas decor, has since evolved into a comprehensive resource for home design enthusiasts and DIYers. Brewer, initially intimidated by power tools, has now embraced them, learning new skills through tutorials and fellow influencers. This newfound confidence has allowed her to bring her creative visions to life. Ultimately, her passion for home design is driven by a desire to create a peaceful sanctuary for her loved ones, a "soft place to land" for anyone who enters her home.
The collaboration between Nostalgic Warehouse and The Holly and Ivy Home demonstrates how even the smallest details can have a significant impact on a space. Stacy Brewer’s project serves as a compelling example of how thoughtful design, combined with quality craftsmanship, can transform an ordinary area into a show-stopping entryway. The stunning Waldorf crystal knobs and New York backplates from Nostalgic Warehouse not only enhanced the aesthetic of her hallway but also underscored her belief in creating timeless and beautiful spaces.
