A Stately Home Gets a Graceful Facelift
TEXT by Jasmine Bible + PHOTOGRAPHY by Andrea Hubbell
This stately home in Charlottesville, VA, beckoned for more than a facelift. When the owners decided to renovate, they enlisted interior designer Alana Woerpel of Alana’s, Ltd. to spearhead the project. Woerpel lives just down the street and had always admired the property.
Her creative genius was allowed to run wild, envisioning and orchestrating the entire renovation. Striped down to the bare bones, the space has now been built back into a thing of beauty.
The home is bright, airy, and open. An abundance of natural light streams into every room.
Intricate molding carries from the exterior into the interiors. Stunning chandeliers and sconces grace each space.
The bathrooms have been given a classic white and gray marble treatment.
The already expansive home gains even more visual space thanks to the use of cleverly placed mirrors.
In the kitchen, the mirror above the sink reflects the natural light and greenery from the large window directly across.
The double-faucet, apron-front sink is what chef’s dreams are made of. The Wolf gas range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and open shelving complete the gourmet kitchen.
