Historic St. Louis Residence

Originally built in 1912 in St. Louis, Missouri, this remarkable architectural home underwent a significant renovation in collaboration with Bower Leet Design. Ramsay Nye oversaw the complete renovation and decoration of the 15,000 square foot residence, alongside the restoration of important architectural elements such as millwork, plaster moldings, and elaborate ceiling details. The meticulous attention to detail is clear upon entering the foyer, which showcases a striking silk wallcovering, an antique Murano chandelier, and a lacquered zebrawood center table. The dining room features a bespoke, hand-painted chinoiserie wallpaper in the client's preferred buttery yellow, incorporating the Missouri state tree, flower, bird, and butterfly. As avid entertainers with a penchant for vibrant dinner parties, Ramsay Nye created a design narrative that ensured the various common rooms had distinct personalities, so guests could feel transported.
