Custom Homes of Texas: San Angelo

This project was one that almost did not happen. The house was built in the ‘90s and had a distinctly Western ranch style. The homeowner was ready to sell and find something that aligned more with her style, but lead designer Lisa Wallace of Lisa Wallace Interior Design had a vision for the home.

Luckily, the homeowner was able to catch a glimpse of Wallace’s vision and decided to hand her the design reins. Working in tandem with contractor Robert Favor from Alpha Construction, nearly the entire footprint of the home was reworked to create a space that met the homeowner’s needs.

Like most projects, the design evolved throughout the process. “It started out transitional with a Scandinavian feel,” Wallace said. “As the design developed, it took on a Southern coastal vibe as well.”

Whatever you call the style, the space is cozy and comfortable and strikes the perfect balance of being both livable and elegant. Wallace opted to add plenty of texture throughout the home for visual interest, and the result is nothing short of stunning.

From custom lighting in almost every room to thoughtfully chosen fabrics made to withstand the day-to-day wear of real life, this home practically begs you to pull up a seat and stay awhile — do not mind if we do!

Wood beams and custom light fixtures pull this kitchen together.
Your accessories can serve double duty as décor, just like the homeowner’s hat collection. Above, baskets hide the less decorative items such as dog leashes, collars, hats, and gloves.
Bird prints are a repeating theme throughout the home, which adds to the coastal vibe. Wallace opted for layered fabric in warm grays, creams, and soft blue-green shades.
Functionality is crucial for all rooms in a home, but perhaps nowhere more so than the kitchen. In this custom space, the counters are made from a beautiful leathered quartzite, which offers both low maintenance and subtle texture.
This laundry room serves multiple purposes, including as an office area for the homeowner.
Art and natural elements make up the decor aesthetic.
The custom bed features a headboard fabric that is embroidered for added texture. The side fabric that wraps the mattress is a performance fabric, so if it gets scuffed, it is easy to wipe away.
This old Dutch cabinet from the 1800s was just the thing to add some soul to the living room. All it needed was a coat of wax, and it was the perfect place to display the homeowner’s collection of ironstone in the dining room.
