"Over five years, the pair gathered furnishings, art, and antiques to shape an inviting ode to the past-snug and soulful, sentimental and nature-filled, with earthy colors offset by bold, saturated moments of Americana. Like squirrels preparing a winter cache, they collected objects patiently, adding layers over time."
"Coleman's process begins with an exhaustive questionnaire designed to 'get into the mind of the client, because they're the main inspiration for the interiors.' After learning how the family lives, the designer rejiggered the floor plan-moving a staircase, lowering a ceiling, and transforming an impractical formal dining room into a dreamy mudroom entry."
Amanda Knorr, founder of Knosen Antiques, partnered with interior designer Meta Coleman to transform her 1930s Cape Cod-style house and its 1990s addition. Their shared passion for antique wooden sleigh beds initiated a five-year renovation focused on intentional, slow-paced design. The pair methodically gathered furnishings, art, and antiques to create an inviting space celebrating the past with earthy tones punctuated by bold Americana accents. Woodland motifs and squirrel details thread throughout the home, inspired by the homeowner's young son's collection of natural treasures. Coleman's design process begins with comprehensive client questionnaires to understand how families live, allowing her to reconfigure floor plans and transform spaces into functional, personalized interiors.
