I feel very very lucky.
Last night as I was racking my brain for a post…I got a surprise late night email from amazing interior designer Paige Schnell of Tracery Interiors in Mountain Brook Alabama. I had the pleasure of meeting Paige and her partner Doug Davis at the New York International Gift Fair (NYIGF) this past August. They swung by the COCOCOZY textiles booth and said hi. I was a little bit of a geek when they came by because I was so excited to meet them. I had been admiring their work for a bit and so I couldn’t quite contain myself when they strolled into the booth.
Anyhooooo…Paige’s email was succinct…all it said was that their website had been updated and per my request about updates she was letting me know.
Eureka! A post!
So now I bring you a 1929 Tudor revival home in a Birmingham enclave overlooking a golf course with interior design by Tracery interiors. The home is 11,000 square feet, 6 bedrooms, 6 full baths and 3 half baths! Whoa. Wow! Quite a house.
There is something very calming and mysterious about their interiors. Tracery rooms definitely transfix…I don’t know what…but there is something in the homes they design that I just love.
I think this project was a renovation and expansion…so for this, Tracery designed new wood paneling throughout, new cabinetry and ironwork…all blend with the style of the house but definitely give the spaces personality of their own.

| The house includes its own yoga studio with hardwood floors and lots of light streaming in from the paned windows. (above) |
Which room is your favorite? I think think the bathroom is mine…love a white marble bath.
Thank you Paige and Doug for sharing this home with me and my COCOCOZY friends!
Happy Monday!

I love the breakfast nook with a settee in a cozy corner… perfect!
The bathroom and bedroom are definitely my favorite, but then the all white look gets me every time. I’m also drooling over the amazing beams. Pretty amazing that is in Birmingham!

I love the bath and bedroom too! I’m getting ready to put the carerra hexagon in my bathroom. I’m so excited! I can’t decide if I want to paint the walls grey or white. This definitely makes me want white!
serene beauty with white décor seems heavenly
Truly inspirational! We are very lucky to have such talent here in Birmingham. M.
Their work is always so stunning. The plus side is that they are sweet as can be too.
Your right, their work is stunning. Love the barn doors!
Mountain Brook is an amazing place sort of at the edge of Birmingham. It’s fun just to go around and look at the houses. The level of residential architecture there is quite impressive. And I LOVE Tracery Interiors. I go to their shop in Rosemary Beach every year when I’m at the beach.
That Yoga studio space is my favorite –I have rebuffed every invitation to join a friend at yoga over the years, but maybe if I could do it here….
Your luck with this post is my luck. I think it is a Great post!

Beautiful. I love the use of greys in all the furniture and cabinetry.
I love Tracery. They create such warm, timeless spaces.
Such an amazing home! Elegant, yet comfortable! My favorite…hmmm, has to be the yoga studio! Nicely done, works with the rest of the house and of course, I LOVE my yoga!
Thank you for sharing!
